design practice, programming, computer presentation drawings, historic preservation
process work: how to evolve a project; keep it

programming: basic criteria a client wants to have happen; programming portion extensive
-your design wil be shown different types of methods (tabulate, document etc) you will decide which works best for you. apply to the design; about what you perfer
*your design is only as good as the information you extract from the client*; you prompt them to tell you things; they don't always know what they want

how do we communicate it?
-ALWAYS been verbal or written narrative
-graphically: NOW, with drawings, models, types of mechanical progress, (later: digital progress); more techincal as you go along

historic preservation:
building that have historic nation register, tax credits for cuts
-historic reuse: (remodel) adaptive hisotric elements and items to keep but not to preserve but to adapt it
*ex: downtown LN Railroad depot- special magnet high school; cultivate 9th graders to engineering
-historic preservation: restoring it to it's former grandeur

Sax's; historical infulence
political, physical, social influence at the turn of the century that influenced design
-industrial revolution
-global warming
-bau hause
-war (WWII)

-reduction of the carbon foot print

Mary Beth
-not all about the looks; can be both pretty and functional & safe
environmental details; contribution of interior design to contemporary society
-materialism
-able to influence psychological considerations and client's emotions and feelings through: acoustics; functional (for personalization, digital accessibility); making spaces more pleasant; thermally; lighting;
-life saftey codes, ADA compliant (signage- universal design)

-as a profession more than what we do; community, charitable events (habitat humanity)

Proximixs:
interrelated observations and theories of peoples use of space as a specialized elaboration of culture
-space planning; NO NO NO NO: chairs back to back; 3 seat couches in a public space

residential:
kitchen: work triangle- not too close or far away; conversational or tv area; bathroom

Klinkheimer: Color and Light
-color stimulation:
warmer, dark loud reds, oranges:
healthcare application: loud weird colors reflect onto patient; no distorting a patients true color
darker colors: makes room smaller; lighting & mirrors can expand space
long corridors: trick eye to make it foreshortened; dark color at end
dark colors with a light to make small space elongated; contrasting colors can be successful ;)
*rational reasoning*

review and debate monday

modern movement 1920's
minimalists; austere
-only using what you have to

Wassily Chair 1919

industrail revolution
-mass production

Minimalist vs.Victorian
-reactions to the other
-victorian age: wall covering, gaudy patterns
-into minimalist- return to the essentials

Victorian vs

Minimalist








----------------------------------------
effects on interior design
-culture
-tradition
-economy
-current style & fashion


amish & shakers
-bringing the function into the space; space/room isn't labeled

japs
-design based on politics, tradition

muslims, arabs
-design based on religion; mosileum space
-ceilings too low; depressing

americans
-design based on $
-low income housing
-cultural stoop or porch- creates neighbors, community

your opinions and what you prefer is not usually 

utilized in design. you are doing it for SOMEONE ELSE; 

keep in mind

friday friday friday

Value?
-help change and shape the world-
-to design something that will function, fulfill someone's needs, safe and secure

what can cause stressful interior environments?
-lighting; color
-manipulation of space
-noise, acoustics
-temperature

how we feel things?
-eyes and skin

experiencing spaces?
-disney land
ex: pirates of the carribean ride
-helping people experience another environment through lighting, space and teperature

got a little bored....

sociofugal:
fixed, inhibit social connection because they are fixed
-organized in a space,
-more of these spaces
-space keep people apart
-workers:easier to get work done, easier to clean up and stay organized

sociopedal:
comfy space, able to move furniture around, increased social interaction
-variety of opportunities for interaction

history and theory of interior design

avigail: speaking hebrew
built environment from the architecture point of view

connection between history and design
design is taking ideas about what interior design and the world is but what you think about what the clients want; what is already or what could be or should be and giving it shape. understand history is looking at the other direction; my ideas and to look at the backwards idea- understanding what they thought about. understand what other people have said and what i have said- what should i think and have an opinion about. take historical examples and talk about their ideas. opportunity to think about what designers in the past have thought about; helps us understand what our ideas are.

ask as a historian
-when were they designed; what happened in these 15 years
why is it so different?
- people are influenced trough talk, scientific, art work, other designers: they were represented by individual interests and wider ideas about what design is about

Mies 1929
-main modernists in design; early 20th cenutry worked in europe and looked around the world- felt like hte world had changed drastically from what it had been before: mass production vs hand work, industrial revolution
-design must be repsonsive to this
-machine age: design both exterior and interiors should respond and manifest these changes
-people were unerstanding physics; people were developing bc of new materials that werent avaible before
-space: how do you organize it, think about, comes together
-take ideas and transform them into something physical

-design the pavilion for Germany in Barcelona
-space can be experienced by moving though it

experience space, germany was looking forward and responding to the future
-success: beautiful space, experiencing space
-walk outside but still have the comforts of interiors

-barcelona chair
-bringing it down to the essence of a line; every thing was thought out

Bauhaus:
Walter Gropius
-closed down in 1933; Mies director at the end of its life
-transparency; connection between spaces inside and outside
-meticulous detail

Chicago; Illinois Institute of Technology
-developing a system to represent the world, interior design and architecture as the way it should be
-curtain wals: connection between inside and outside
-machine like way: rationally organized



Farnsworth House 1945 (after WWII):
-she had hired him because he had developed this idea
-weekend-house surrounded by trees; take and design perfect space to represent clearly
-2 horizontal planes, closed off with glass planes: simple program
-he was not in touch with what the client wanted; good for people who were engaged with design

Robert Venturi 1978
Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture
-15 years after Mies finishes Farnsworth House
-lost the beauty of arch and id. in trying to make them too organized, radical undertsanding of place: sometimes things are contradictory and don't make sense
-making sense of the world and machinery: Mies
-contradictions are okay
-in trying to look ahead at the future and represent the new world; we've cleaned out tradition and history
-abstract ideas: las vegas the srtip mall: we can see what people are really interested in
-signs, interiors of casinos: Learning from Las Vegas (denise scott brown, steven lzenour)
-in modernist design: clear, obvious: no longer made sense:

Venturi :

-Sheraton Chair

Venturi Hosue Chesnut Hill 1962
symbolizes and looks like a:
pitched roof, cornice, windows where needed, chimney like; facade- doesn't always have to make sense

-this is what people like: complexity, contradiction, references to historic things: comfortable, represent a long standing idea


-post modernism: familiar, tradition, culture

-direct references to history
-purposefully knowing and understanding tradition; play around with its ideas
-straight forward symbols

where does this leave us?
these 2 designs are still very much a part of our culture.
post modernism was a result of modernism.
modernism: importance of a system, create clarity
post modernism: celebrating complexity, contradiction
what is your client interested in? what kinds of things are you interested in?
is symbolism okay or referring to other things or people?
how might you use things to reference?
be aware of how different people made their ideas into concrete things; these are inspirations for your designs.

color and light

what is llight?
-light is a form of radiant energy
-visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum
-come in different wave lengths; each one is percieved as a different color
Sir Isaac Newton

7 different hues; in a specific order; ROYGBIV
-without light there is no color

WHITE
-contains every color of light
ex: Sunlight

light sources
-do not contain equal amounts of color
-dramatic or subtle: depends on spectral distribution

Electric light sources
-uneven spectral distribution
-incandescent light sources have warmer temperatures; more red, oranges; less blues

light sources and color in interiors
-both daylight and artificial light sources have an impact on color interiors
ex:
incandescents: warmer
sunlight:
florescent: colder

Daylight: true white light; what we compare all artificial sources to
-as dayligt changes throughout the day so the surfaces changes; however, the color is still recognizable
balanced light: warmer in late afternoon, bluer during midday

orientation: north daylight: less red, orange and yellows; cold-looking- reliable for color matching
afternoon sun: gives glow (shade and shadows) of interiors

 Light Color Measurement:
describe or measure the color of light sources:
1. Color temperature
-describes the apparent color of a white light source
-visual temperature, not a physical temperature

2. CRI-color rendering index
-higher CRI; more natural colors will appear
-electric is rated 1-100

3. SPD- spectral Power Distribution
-plots the amount of natural daylight

light color in interiors:
-use warm light sources in interiors with predominantly warm colors
-areas with natural light: best with warm light sources
- dont mix warm and cool sources

Blue:
calming, restful, serene
-reduce heart rate, respiration rate and blood pressure

blue, green:
both warm and cool
-retiring, tranquil, neutral, quiet

yellow:
expansive, vibrant, sun and light
-cheerful, high spiritited
-flood into space in outdoor spaces

different cultural architecture

"If you like a hot glue gun, get out there and do it." -Jeffy Geren

cultural architecture

-if you went to japan and did a design project, you must think about the cultural differences of people, understand and acknowledge these difference
-make an impact on these designs
-you don't have to go to a different country to seek cultural differences, since the middle 1800's melting pot of cultures
-niches: of different cultures- Detroit: Muslim, El Paso: Mexican

is this important? -the meat and potatoes-

is this important to what you want to do?
- is this a passion?
-it is a means to an ends to do something good with your life
-what gives you an opportunity to help people, help the world
-may not be the answer to the worlds questions, but its more than just designing a beautiful space; its more about how can I design something to be functional and aesthetic: product design
- its important to what we do
- its not all about "fantastic", it's bettering the environment, the world around you, and the way people experience it
-functional, sustainable
-stay away from materialism

Dave Matthews and Wednesday

Different types of interior design:
interior design is not limited to a firm. Interior design has many different outlets.

-Residential:
for a specific audience; their taste
-takes a different attitude towards the client; on a personal level
-personal and diferent relationship becuase you are working on a one-to-one basis
-commercial design and clientele can lead to residential design
-the interaction between client and designer is extrodinarily personal
-other personal issues can arise from the personal level

-Commercial: office- Iorgroup, healthcare, government vs. local

when specializing:
-healthcare: it is a team of people getting the credit and executing NOT just one designer; signage is important
-don't compare commercial furnishings and residential furnishings: more people are using commercial furnishings so they must wear and tear better and last longer

-Spiritual, retail: lighting design; Luminart- it is a
technical and design success

-Prime Design: -Mill Work Group
-detailing; woodwork, laminate work
-furniture maker

-visual merchandising
 -window displays

-exhibit designs
-museum scapes
-telling stories through designs
-interior designer acts as a narrator
-historians educate so designer can write and tell stories to all age groups

-trade shows
-3D computer modeling
-designing booths for companies
-design graphic interiors


Virtual Environments:
-anytime there is an interior you have the potential to design it

**designing is partly what you want and what the economy allows nd demands**


Wednesday:
Jeff answered odds and end questions. The most important thing that stood out to me was this: a design is only as good as what you can extract from your client. We also decided that every designer thinks that  HGTV is a disgrace to licensed interior designers.

both sides

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, i’ve looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions i recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

Moons and junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; i’ve looked at love that way.
But now it’s just another show. you leave ‘em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away.

I’ve looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions i recall.
I really don’t know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say “i love you” right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i’ve looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I’ve changed.
Something’s lost but something’s gained in living every day.

I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions i recall.
I really don’t know life at all.

ryan aoukar: how the industry works

as an interior designer

-know the minimum of everything

-its not about what we do but why we do it

 square 1: The broker- real estate agent; know and befriend them

square 2:The architect- they knew the client before you did; its his building & design

- not just about design, know people

-designing the world for people; solving problems (function &needs)

square 3: variety of clients

-each client brings new ideas and new information to you

-the client lives the lifestyle with the biggest experience: you are helping the client build for her need and accomodations

-he is the main source of information

-the best interior designers know his subjects know your category well

-know your category well

i.e. chefs, medical workers

First Meeting:->  test fit: how many people & what are needs

- do it wherever; short time                -know the space & landlord

-approval & meet face to face            - help client pick his space, building standards and #

-you go to the client                           -1st thing you do per building looked at

-what is the identity of the project       |

                                                                                 |

Planning:

-furniture standard

-what is needed

-know minimum measurements of tables ------->

Schematic design & design development:

-work with team and furniture dealer

-what kind of furniture is needed

-furniture manufacturer (makes furniture but doesn't sell it; has a furniture dealer sell it to you)

-building the model; model builder figures out the planning problems

-best way to figure out the space

<------------------------

Demolition phase 

-work with contractor & general contractor: GC-manages project and hires everyone

CONSTRUCTION PLAN:

-GC or you contract partition to start construction( walling)

POWER AND DATA PLAN:

work with engineer

- internet connections, lighting switches & outlet placement

---------------------->

Reflected ceiling plan:

-design ceiling 1st and include in the plan the placement

-LIGHTING MANUFACTURER- different lighting and ambiances per client's need and accomodations

-lighting decides the atmosphere

finish plan:

-work with material & product designer- furniture, lighting, carpet

custom done: call manufacturer

-Artists can create space

- know every material in a deep way better than anyone

FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES:

-furniture dealers and furniture makers

-furniture librarians can help you find and bring to life your ideas when you don't know where to find them 

SIGNAGE:

-work with graphic designers; check in, out; bathrooms, directional

ART INSTALLMENT:

-galleries, art dealers, artists (wall murals, painters), photographer 

 

 

in my element

I spent an entire Saturday making new friends, exploring Chattanooga and basking in God's beauty that He calls nature. I sat and drew; I was in my element. I touched and experienced art work, architecture and leaves, grass, rough stone... I needed this: stress free, care free, my mind could wonder on nothing in particular. So I'm going to post pictures that were my favorite; photo credit to Monica Cota. Let's document the journey ;) xxx ek

- Born out of the Victorian Era & Birth of Modernism

                                              - industrial revolution: mass production, furnishings became affordable

Everyone began running out and buying out of impulse which resulted in:

mis-application, chaotic put togethers

WRONG: many patterns together (wall paper,  drapes, carpet & couch)- multi patterns are competeing with bold colors (reds and greens)

Home= self worth, society status & self- worth, importance

THEMED INTERIORS

- water imagery, scales, light penetration through floors

and stairs all correspond with the ocean themes

-atmosphere of being underwater

-integrated and applied materials blur

-direct line to nature

-top levels: architectural; middle: blurs; bottom :

thematic of deep ocean, dark & fish bone architecture

I reserve the right to say I like it becasue it's pretty :D

I just want to take my coloring sticks to the walls 

and let my reasoning be because I liked it. There

was no rhyme or reason behind it. It's pretty.

-xxx

I like this because...

The painting on the wall behind the table, lengthens the room by the use of perspective.

It reminds me of The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. The painting is used in a monk's dining hall

where the painting engages with the people eating in the actual room, thus, making you part of the painting.

I like this because...

(Photo to the left:)

Purple is my favorite fall color. 

Between the napkins, mosaic and purple wall paper, 

the mix of neutrals gives it a balance and it's not too overwhelming.

I like this because...

I adore antique, free standing tubs.

It is absolutely elegant.

The rug ties in the neutral colors and 

the splash of pink.

The pieces are arranged symmetrically.

eleganceeeee

I like this because...

the use of blue is dominant on the wall but tied into

the ottoman and blue wall panel next to it. With the use 

of elegant lighting and neutral carpet and accesorizing furniture

the space is welcoming and not overwhelming :)

mix of modern and elegance

I like this one because it's pretty :)

that's all. elegant & simple with a splash of yellow. The absence of color is filled with the presence of textures. (headboard, gossamer curtain, pattern that creates a texture in the vanity stool, fluffy flowers)

sustainability: day 2

sustainability:
sustainable design:
design focusing on products and processes that protect the environment while conserving energy for future generations

popular: last 10 years; 1960's design started to change in terms of making solar homes, passive solar structure: orient house/ structure to gather natural light (heat for winter, trees create shade)

global energy usage: increases 70% between 2003-2030
major source of energy world wide: natural gas, oil, coal,
-bi-products: carbon footprint makes global warming
nuclear:
renewable resources: water, sunlight,

key terms of green design:

-green planet: recognize green product (what products produce concerns)
-energy star: energy efficient products, environmentally friendly when being disposed: windows, building products, appliances

US green building council: developed the leadership in energy and environmental design (LEAD design)

LIGHTING:
made ID's more important: control material specification;
lighting: compact florescent lighting, life cycle is more extensive (lower electric bill), doesn't create heat
florescent better than incandescent bulb

sustainability will work when it becomes more affordable
40% of the energy used in a building is lighting
have the ability to harvest indirect natural daylight (direct sunlight can be harmful)
-contain toxics and mercury

LED lights: light emitting diode
-produce colors; just now getting the white light as ambient general lighting
-better than florescent


CONTROLS: switch
daylight switching plans: lights would switch off when sunlight is coming in

FLOORING:
wood: can be reused, specify from the region- trucking cost from far away
linoleum: turpentine; more efficient

multi-functional spaces are the most efficient, as they are being used for many different purposes.

residential vs commerical

required from design of commercial, it makes residential easier to understand

more complex-less complicated

residential: home

commercial: multitude of different things

-health care: specialty; profitable: knish for interior designer; if you have a background understand clinical areas of healthcare

clinical areas of healthcare: operating rooms, waiting rooms, public areas, gift shops, cafe (dining), patient rooms: hospitality, entry: health heart,

-more healthcare construction than anything: good business

- too many healthcare; raises expenses: tax payers

-if you can get specialization in clinical areas; good niche: pharmacy: NEED TO KNOW WHAT GOES ON,  LABORATORY: sub categories- micro bio, blood testing, segregated spaces within a lab and what the need is

ER, ICU:  particularly specialized

heart CAD, lab suites…ect. specialized clinical areas

How do you get involved: worked for a company providing products; furniture company clinical products; design and utilize products

-hospitals doing little by little (renovations)

problems with healthcare design:

-healthcare facilities are the most abused environments 

-24/7 operation center, materials must be durable- everything is used all the time

durability, clean-ability…ect

spaces being used 24/7 

-airports

-hospitality (resorts, hotels…)

-some restaurant

-police stations, fire stations, jails

-hospitality:

boutique hotels: quiant, more specific to clientel

-restaurant:

specific: formal, modern, derive thru, fast food

many sub categories

within:

-kitchen design: extremely specialized- appliances (some one else)

designers: layout, flow, circulation

hospital cafeteria, resort,

-corporate:

law firms, headquarters, main offices, advertising agencies, business offices

need: waiting areas, offices, executive offices, partner offices- hierarchy structure, computer rooms, conference rooms, training rooms, reception area

-retail:

stores

-institutional: 

schools, universities, school offices, gyms, arenas, 

-ecclesiastical: 

churches,  

 -government: GSA: general service administration

federal, specialized lowest discount 

GSA pricing

theatre-smaller specialized

public:

museums- smaller specialized

--------------------------------------------------------

as a designer:

what services you provide and breakdowns:

-specified: all the space planning, design, finished selections, furniture package, lighting: then document & hand to client or others to be bid on, not a supplier, do the design work and get a fee for it: your work and design, track daily log of time- bill those clients for those hours for your specification work

-dealership: you provide certain lines of commercial furnishings, upholstery, window coverings: specify and point of purchase 

* designers work for you, meet with client: layout, partition planning (sheet rock), they would be primarily responsible of FFandE: furniture, fixtures and equipment 

module: make selections in finished schedules in documents, selling that to the user

- not as specific as specified: selling the product on mark up

-commercial design firm: have several lines of furniture,wall coverings…etc. reps will visit and show you product representing manufactures, pull from many different manufactures,
