Interior design and architecture are essential, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life. In modern society people rely on function, durability, and visual appeal when selecting designs for their homes, businesses, and places of leisure. The way that a space is designed influences such things as mood, which, in the case of a business, can impact the productivity of employees and either draw or repel customers. In residential design, the design becomes very personal and, to be considered a successful design, must properly reflect the home owner while at the same time offering some practicality that makes the space livable. An effective design, for any space, must solve some problem, be it function, flexibility, or some other criteria. Simply solving a problem would not please the customer, however, unless it offered some visual appeal. Creating function with style is the real job of any interior designer, and is essential in a content society. Unfortunately, there are some contemporary issues which impact interior design in a negative way. A large majority of modern customers have specific, and sometimes unrealistic, ideas of what they desire their space to look like. A designer is then assigned the difficult task of pleasing the customer in a practical way. One thing which may contribute to this issue is the easy access to pictures of other designs that, while perfectly suited for their own spaces, are either not practical for the client’s space or else may
Russel Wright is an American industrial designer and architect that lived during the early to mid twentieth century. Many of Wright’s ideas and designs were considered to modern at time, drawing influences from not only ingenious designers like Frank Lloyd Wright but nature as well. Wright’s influences would lead him to create a design style unlike any at the time; a style that would eventually become almost standard in many homes in the United States. The designer Russel Wright and his wife, Mary Wright together published a guidebook known as Guide to Easier Living. In it contains numerous suggestions and thoughts on home architecture, interior design, as well as product design. Many of the thoughts and suggestions conveyed in the book can be seen in present-day design and architecture. Wright’s book also laid the groundwork for his home, Dragon Rock, which of itself possesses elements of design that are seen in today’s homes. Russel Wright’s Guide to Easier Living is clearly a response to interior design at the time; containing numerous design ideas, Wrights guide influences Wright’s own future works.

Interior design is a profession that is undertaken academically just like other professional careers. It mainly involves the development and imparting of skills, knowledge and attitudes that pertains the activities undertaken in the building and construction industry. The profession of interior designing goes beyond designing how a structure will look because it incorporates environmental issues especially aesthetic value of the structure to be constructed, the ergonomics, local fire codes and besides studying fundamental design issues and practice in the building and construction industry (Guerin & Thompson, 2014). Even though the profession is not as old as some of the established professions, the fact remains that the fundamentals of design
As writer, interior designer, educator, and American architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization” (BrainyQuote). The purpose of this paper will deal with the description of...
Architecture should be nurturing, responsive and alive, dynamically shifting spatial balances, organically expressive forms, subtly luminous colors and biologically healthy. To achieve such life-enhancing architecture, it has to address all the body senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with experience of the world. By strengthening our sense of self and reality, architecture serves its all-important function of accommodation and
I’m writing for the Images Publishing Group, as you may be aware Liederbach & Graham Architects have been featured in An Ideal Collaboration: The Art of Classical Details II. This book includes the work of some of the most notable names in contemporary residential design. Architects, decorators, landscape designers, consultants, builders, craftsmen, artists and vendors, all address the design process and the pivotal role that collaboration plays in creating cohesive timeless designs.
From the early Greek temples of yesteryear, to the high-tech autonomous buildings of tomorrow, the question of whether the function of a building or its aesthetics qualities are more important has plagued the minds of architects around the world. Webster's II New College Dictionary (Please do not use the encyclopedia or the dictionary to open your essay--way too high school.) defines aesthetics as "The branch of philosophy that provides a theory of the beautiful and of the fine arts" (18). The definition of Functionalism is defined by Webster's as "The doctrine that the function of an object should determine its design and materials" (453). Now, if the function of an object decides
One of the main elements of the condo design is color. I used color as a tool to emphasize certain materials and designs within the space. I also introduced iconic design elements of international style such as the marble wall that was showcased in the Barcelona Pavilion design by Mies van der Rohe. To keep with the growing trend of modernism in the Seattle design market, I introduced the marble wall as a floating art piece. This feature also further explore the use of visual weightless elements of The International Style. Additionally, I introduced modern aspects of the space through introduction of materials such as concrete, steel, metal, and glass. I emphasized and applied the element of line, profoundly into the design to create the illusion of space by directing the eye to linear and vertical design aspects. I added a sense of playfulness through the furniture designs, custom lighting, and original pieces by Le

In everyday life, most people experience the work of Architects in many forms, like a school, or perhaps a house. However, architecture is much more than just the design of buildings and houses. It is a vital part of the construction process, which is a main component of the Gross Domestic Product, and can effect or be effected by local or national economies. Its importance is undervalued in the workforce, and its effect on the economy is underrated. Architecture is effected by the amount of raw materials, and the willingness of people to spend money on new developments or buildings. Architecture affects the economy by supplying new sources of revenue, such as new sports arenas, shopping malls, and infrastructure projects, while
In the Ottoman period, a new art direction was appeared and spectaculars perspectives were born. Due to the expansion of territories by the Ottoman Empire, several sciences, fields and theories were developed. One of these fields was architecture; the Ottomans constructed several public buildings and edifices were shared the perfection in structure and in aesthetic value. The mosques are the most influenced edifices in this period because the Ottomans practiced Islam, besides the increasing in Muslim population and the annexation of new lands to the Ottoman Empire, the construction of mosques was required. Another essential factor in the development of the mosques architecture is a thriving economy. The Ottomans constructed the buildings with luxurious architectures such as fenestrations spreading over the shaft of the dome to reflect the glory of exterior of the mosques. We can conclude that the construction method, in the Ottoman period, is influenced by the Ottoman culture, the Islamic regulations called Shariah and several issues such as climate and materials used in building. Also, we can see the effect of byzantine architecture on the Ottoman buildings.
Contrary to the Modern movement, Post-Modernism had placed great emphasis on the communication of architecture between humans and the environment. Robert Venturi once said before that architecture as a” system of communications within society” to satisfy” the need for explicit and heightened symbolism” (Trachtenberg and Hyman, 2003). Post-modernism architecture was often designed to convey the message that carries ironic meaning or criticism that challenge the status quo to the public. The forms of an architecture or a space will also respond to the emotional needs. The communication of an architecture between humans and the built environment will all depends on the form created. The architecture or space’s overall suitability will first be judged by its general form, even before the consumer has had the chance of making use of it or physically experiencing it. It is, therefore, very important to note that emotional needs are equally as pressing as corporal needs, and experience shows that the lines between the two sometimes become so
The book consists of twelve chapters that propose this idea that designers should explore the nature of our senses’ response to the spatial built forms that people invest their time in. It tries to cover a specific topic in each chapter that in order to deconstruct the book, it is necessary to cover each chapter individually.
In this article, I am going to introduce a house that is widely bought by the majority of people on earth. Although it is not that grandeur, this rectangular block still functions as a living area efficiently. The size of the house is decided by the construction company and varies a lot. Some houses are like skyscrapers while others are much smaller that even could be portable. In terms of external looks, normally, the outer walls are painted in just one colour. White and silver grey are the most common choices. Some residents may prefer a much more diversified exterior. When they consider buying this estate, they may ask the construction company to offer a personal design to paint the wall hot pink, light yellow, sea blue, etc. and even adds special cartoon characters or graffiti. The construction material of the house also differs according to the needs of the client. Some residents want their house covered with wood to create a sense of nature. Houses made of metal leave the visitors an impression of modern living style. Also, a number of houses especially the smaller ones are even made of plastic and their prices are much lower.
