7. The Interior Design Industry
A house is a place of communication for the family for domestic activities,
for living, working, eating and sleeping. It is a place where a family goes to
be with each other. It should work as a single entity as well as each
member could have his /her “own space in the Sun”.
“For a man’s house is his castle”, wrote Sir Edward Coke. This sentence
was coined by him in th1 17th
century and since then we have a beautiful
heritage of something known as Period House. Beginning with the Tudor
and the Jacobean style from the year 1485-1625, this period let towards
development of sophisticated structures and classy sized decoration. This
period saw the development of the increasing specialization of how a room
functioned within a house. In the middle ages the king would live in one big
room, where he would eat, sleep and conduct affairs of state. Fabric
hangings during this time were considered inappropriate for the rooms in
which people ate, as they tended to retain the smell of food. During this
time, timber, brick and stone were used. The stone houses had less
decoration than the timber one’s, as stone was more difficult and expensive
to carve. During this period, the Bay window came into being along with
Oriel windows. People used built-in-furniture during this time.
The Tudor and the Jacobean period were followed by Baroque Period
(1625-1714). This period had the development of country style. This style
had the development of rooms as Basement, the Piano Nubile (main
reception floor) and Attic (top floor). The Piano Nubile had pediment
windows and very high height. It was the area where the ceremonial work
was taken up. This period had grand carved entrances with the use of
Acanthus Leaves and bulging fruits. This time period had the designs
created by famous artist Michelangelo David.
This period was followed by Early Georgian, Colonial, British Victorian,
Edwardian, Art-Novae, The Modern Movement. (1920-1950)
8. The Modern Movement played an important role in the design industry with
designers like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, and Frank Lloyd
Wright. Their contribution led meticulously designed houses with proper
planning and consideration to functionality with well-developed clean
uncluttered space, electrical wiring buried in the structure along with proper
plumbing and water disposal. Metal windows with large glass-panes,
healthy hygienic and effective homes were developed. Sullivan’s disciple
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) designed buildings which relied more on
space and form. This kind of design made a great impression on Walter
Gropius (1883-1969), Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe (1886-1969). They
defined the Doctrine of Modernism in the 1920.
Louis Kahn came up with the idea of design as interior spaces focused
more on served and servant spaces. He believed that the served area
should have the servant area near to it so that the functionality of the room
increases. For example, a living room having the servant areas as kitchen
and toilets. This concept of his along with the other ideas has been popular
till today. After the World War II in 1941, rational planning and economy
were combined with high standards of mechanical services in housing
project where the designers were more concerned with how the building
performed than whether it looked modern. The Modern Movement sought
to eliminate extra detailing and focused more on simplicity with the
advancement of pre-fabricated materials like ply-wood, glass and other
materials developed design area where more of fresh air and maximum
sunlight were pre-requisite. One of the best characteristics which
developed in the first phase of modernism was the elimination of pattern
and textures on walls. People used smooth plasters, glass bricks, room
dividers in apartments with open plan layout.
9. All this required a development of well educated workforce who could the
support the interior design industry and this led to the development from
the Indian government to take interest in the design field.
The government of India has formulated a body known as Indian Design
Council which plays an important role in promoting design developments.
The government of India set up the Indian Design Council at IIT Mumbai in
the year 1969 for initiating the post graduate program in industrial design
but prior to setting industrial design education, the development of Art and
Design in India developed in the year 1840. The first art school known as
the Bombay Art School now known as Sir J.J. School of Arts, College of
Arts, and Calcutta catered to the Indian Design Development. In the year
1913, Kala Bhavan, the Art College was set up as a part of Shantiniketan
by the Tagore family. Not only this, in the year 1922, Rabindra Nath Tagore
met Walter Gropius and incited him for an exhibition to India. In 1958, the
government of India invited Charles and Ray Eames to train the small scale
industries to develop the craft and small scale industry which resulted in the
development of Indian Design Report. In the year 1960, based on the
report of Charles and Ray Eames, the government of India set up the
National Institute of Design (NID, Ahemdabad). In 1987, the ministry of
textiles set up the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in Delhi.
In the year 19997, the full fledged department of design which Bachelor in
Design, Masters in Design and the Doctoral degrees came up at IIT
Mumbai. From the year 1999, the private design schools along with the
state universities started developing students with the formal design
education so that the design industry could have the best brains to device
functional designs. This step was taken because as the modern design
entered and the Indian market. For example – Kohler, Duravit ,Kitchen
World, Hacker-Kitchens,etc. we could see the development of the
specialized market like Bathroom Solutions, Kitchen Solutions, Bedroom
and Closet Design Solutions. These solutions provided by the industry are
not tailor-made to make the design as per the Indian client; the interior
designer had to study the environment, the client, its needs, budget and
then device a design which is customer-friendly, at the same time
functional as per the Indian needs. After all house is a place where by the
end of the day, the client should be able to relax and be fresh. It is not a
zone to be developed to show-off the neighbors.
10. The Work of Interior Designer
Interior designer is a practice of bringing in best visual appeal the best
utilization of a space keeping the clients views and needs in mind.
The work of interior designer is manipulation of spaces keeping in mind the
orientation of the building, building envelope.
Emphasis on planning.
Making a green building so as it can contribute to the environment.
Create spaces which means machines for living said by LE CORBUSIER
(the person behind designing the city of Chandigarh).
Connecting between the spaces, spaces which increases the efficiency of a
human being.
Focuses on working drawings, specification, orthographic projections,
axonometric view and perspective drawings etc.
11. Residential Design
“A Good surrounding makes a person love life and live better.” He becomes
more concentrated and his efficiency increase as the space makes all this
difference and this is what we need to pay attention to in the homes too
that is the residential spaces. It is a space where a person relaxed after a
day‟s hard work and wants to be charged, fresh, confident for the next day.
All this can be achieved if he has the house designed as per his needs that
is a space that nurtures a human being into a more efficient person this is
what is interior design or design of spaces.
In earlier times, the designing was done by painters like Michelangelo who
worked with Golden mean but human dimensions were not considered.
Then later designers worked on the Principal of anthropometrics (human
dimensions) and ergonomics (study of human dimensions to create any
design) of which they got idea from furniture designing.
A Quote by a Scottish Architect, Darcy Braddell attempted, in his 1932
book “How to Look at Buildings,” to help people understand why some
building seem to “feel right” while other do not. He felt that proper and
considered proportions were much more important than anything else.
Further, he held that “every part must make up a whole that no one thing is
beautiful in itself, that restraint is superior to excess and that selection is
the key to design.”
12. Skill Set
A house is a machine for living – famous quote said by The Famous
Designer Le Corbusier. Therefore it states that a house should adjust
according to the person not the person according to the house, so the
demand of design was continued to go on. The planning and designing
should be such that it satisfy the need of the people.
I gained knowledge about colour schemes, colour key, colour wheel,
texture wheel etc. I created assignments on elements on design. Elements
and principles of design - In Elements of design I have studies about the
elements are point, line, form, shapes, movements, colour, pattern, texture.
&Form.
13. Principals of Planning :
Principles of Designing :
Balance.
Proportion.
Emphasis.
Rhythm.
Unity
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Building Components- I also studied about Components of a building. A
building can be divided in two parts.
(i) Sub- structure
(ii) Super structure
Aspect
Prospect.
Grouping.
Privacy.
Furniture
Requirements.
Roominess.
Circulation.
Sanitation.
Elegance.
Flexibility.
Economy.
14. Foundation- Foundation is the lowest part of a structure below the ground
level which is in direct contact with the ground and transmits all the dead,
live and other loads to the soil on which the structure rests.
Doors and Windows- I have also studied about the various types of doors
and windows and to understand them better. A door define as a barrier
secured in an opening left in a wall to provide usual means of access to a
building room or passage and A window purpose of providing day- lighting ,
and ventilation. I had learnt about different types of doors and windows
where they are used And what materials are used to make a doors and
windows.
HISTORY OF FURNITURE
I studied about the various time periods furniture such as Renaissance,
Rococo, Baroque, Art Noveau, Gothic Style,English Antique Periods, etc.
LANDSCAPING
I have studied how a good landscaping can give a good visual appeal to
the environment. A good landscaping relaxes a person and in turn
contributes towards to the building of the green homes. Through
Landscaping we can create interest, gradients and Contours, textures,
patterns etc.
15. SCULPTURE AND MODELING
I studied about various aspects for Presenting Design concepts in three
dimensional forms and learn the methods and material of model
construction and for casting sculpture.
ESTIMATION AND COSTING
I studied about the various purposes of Estimation which helps to find out
the probable cost of the project and also helps to make provisions for the
budget before hand. It also help to making tenders and controlling the
expenditure during the execution of the work.
INTERIOR FURNISHING
I studied about the various floor finishes, fabrics and window treatment and learn
about how can be used in our project and also the effects of a texture of fabrics
and floor. Its also help in to put the decorative elements in perfect banner.
16. Planning Consideration
To design any Residential area proper planning and brain storming need to
be done. The planning face of residence is the most important face
because this lead to be developed of structure of the house based on the
shape and form. The residence design should be plan based on the needs
of the person and it has been seeing all human beings requirement and
needs are to a create extend similar what we have seen in magazine and
book showcasing beautiful images of decorated room by which a person
feels happy to see them. But interior design is not so easy like the attractive
image of the book. The design has to be functional so that the person can
feel the space express his self at the same time enjoy the space.
It is seen that the spaces with less light (natural light) suffer from a
condition known as SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, characterized by
depression, lethargies, fatigue and other symptoms. Studies show
students do better when the classes are held in natural light such is the
power of sun. I have here utilized more of daylight factor while planning.
As I said earlier in India the climate is dry and humid at times throughout
the year and the house is enveloped by these factors, so my main
consideration of the project has been followed keeping into mind the
climatology of the place.
17. Case Study
The case study given to me is:
We are suppose to design for an Interior Designer, who has 10 year of
working as an entreprenur.His office is located in porced locality of
Mumbai. He is in the age group of 35 years and design more of residential
spaces. You are supposed to design the residence of this Interior Designer
who state in a Studio Apartment. The space given for the construction is
21’6”X21’6”.
I make a Client Profile:
Household Member: Client(Single)
Name Mr. Vijay Sharma
Age 35 years
Sex Male
Profession Interior Designer
18. Climatology
My client site is situated in Mumbai and to device it in a proper Planning. I
Began with a factor of climate of this place. Climatology is the branch of
since. Which deals with the climate and the change through the Year and
the weather?
MACRO CLIMATE
The whole India has a tropical monsoon climate, since the greater part of
the country lies within the trophies, and the climate is influenced by the
monsoons.
The Location of Maharastra in India is ‘western” direction.
Climate of Maharastra:
Maharastra has Tropical wet & Dry.
Climate & Temperature of Mumbai:
The plan situated at Mumbai in poush area. Mumbai has Tropical wet &
dry climate.The temperature of Mumbai in summer is, the maximum 35°C
to nearly 25°C and in the winters the maximum 25°C to 15°C.
19. MICRO CLIMATE
Apart from the micro climate which is in our control, which we can change
according to the place.
20. Building orientation
The building orientation can have a impact on heating, lighting and cooling
costs. By maximum southern exposure for Example One can take
advantage of optimal advantage of the sum for daylight and passive solar
heating this will result in lower pooling cost by minimizing western were it is
most difficult to provide shade from the sun the designer must consider all
factors and site condition on, building orientation for Example a building
might have to take heed of multiple orientation factors depending on
function requirement designing for pooling load or heating load. To take
advantage of north may be oriented along a east west excess but this may
be counter to street lines and other side consideration, orientation of the
building entrance may have 2 respect street access activities and local
urban design guidelines.
The light also can work well higher sun in the southern expose north facing
glass received good day lighting but relatively little direction isolation so
heat gain is less of a concern.
21. Building Envelope
The basic meaning of building envelope is the surrounding environment of
the building. Building enveloped is such element that separates the interior
and exterior environment of building.
In building envelope including the foundation, roof, wall, door, window and
also include physical protection from weather climate. The building
envelope is focus on the controllable factors that are rain control, air control
and temperature control.
22. Rain Water Harvesting
Rain water harvesting is also another important factor of building envelope.
Landscaping, water body trees Etc. do help to control air and heat we have
discuss about these things in micro climate.
23. Daylighting And Ventilation
Day lighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and
reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective
internal lighting.Particular attention is given to day lighting. While designing
a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce energy
use. Energy saving can be achieved either from the reduced use of artificial
(electric) be reduces by simply installing fewer electric lights automatically
in response to the presence of day lighting, a process known as day
lighting harvesting.
Light give life to the every object. Light brings every other design element
into perspective, from architectural details and decoration to all you
perspective. Although you can light your name with an artificial lights
source. Natural lights is so important that we could not live without it 20% of
the U.S. population suffers from a look of natural light studies house shown
that student do letter when their class are held in natural light.
24. Green Homes
There is a considerable amount of stress given towards shaping up a
space consuming less of non- renewable resources and can have a
mechanism to work with the renewable sources of energy in order to cut
the electricity, fuel consumption green buildings are followed:
The site and its surroundings – has been checked for the implementation
of proper design. The main sources of uninterrupted sunlight is the east,
northern zone possess a huge structure casting overshadow on half of the
space, southern zone has to be planted with more of tall trees to provide
screening from the excessive sunlight penetration. West will be done with
creepers for cutting down heat and maintenance of privacy.
Energy efficiency – the whole structure will have solar energy to be
utilized as the main source of energy to reduce electricity costs. Maximum
of daylight will be taken inside to provide proper vision, reduce damping
problems as well as enable good and needed vision.
43. Colonial Style
Colonial interior design ideas can be sourced from American colonial style or
British colonial Style.
American colonial interior design became popular through North America
during the early 18th century.
The design style replicates many of the traditional European homes of that era
and is heavily influenced by early American farmhouses mixed with grand
homes of old Europe to provide this sensational Americana decorating style.
There are two ways to go with this style design concept as it can be both rustic
interior design or sophisticated. Rustic is the ‘everyday man’s’ home from that
period and the alternative is a more luxurious look that was then only available
to those who could affolnfluences of design and architecture were brought to
America from England when immigrants settled during that period and
decorated their own homes.
The simplicity created light, spacious interiors with elegant clean lines. There
are several key characteristics of colonial interiors design that can be adapted
to suit your homes.
Woodwork
Extensive handmade furniture and cabinets carved from pine, birch or maple
represents the colonial concepts in a way that the design itself was ‘honest
‘and remained simplistic.
Handmade Quilts
Quilting is such a beautiful way to celebrate American decorating and family
life. Quilt were used to decorate the walls, laid on top beds and placed over
sofas. You can recreate this look by having a quilt made of your fabrics, or Add
some interesting throws and cushions into your finished look. The images
below show how amazing quilts can look and provide an authentic
touch of colonial interior design in a bedroom.
44. Uncluttered Spaces
Try to combine your objects and items with enough free spaces so that you can
enjoy looking at the ornamentation and beautiful colors captured in your
accessories. Otherwise your room may become overcrowded with pattern and
color. This is what we are looking to avoid so make sure you allow yourself
plenty of good storage.
Walls
Commonly white washed with crown moldings or dado rails. Occasionally
timber paneling was fitted. Sticking to muted paint colors for walls and ceilings
were ivory white. Wealthy homes had borders and murals which had natural
motifs of fruits and flowers much like those from the Arts and Crafts style.
Floors
Walnut, mahogany, and cherry are the main types of hardwood flooring
accessorized with colorful hand-woven rugs. Those include oriental style rugs.
Below is a fantastic example of how sophisticated colonial interior design can
become. This dining room is nothing short of classical and magnificent. Take
note of the walls which are painted white however, the wooden panels create
a rich finish that you expect to find in this design style.
Lighting
Cast iron lamps, candle holders, wall fitting and beautiful chandeliers similar to
the one shown above are all used to create this timeless style.
52. Design Development
I was given a constructed flat by my college in that I designed a Bedroom and
a Bathroom by using Anthropometrics and Ergonomics.
