4. Roles of an
interior
architect
Design and build interiors for safety, functionality and aesthetics
Understand the durability and strength of building structure
materials
Be skilled in the use of light, colours and textures in a space
Draft plans to create or refinish spaces in private home or in
commercial buildings
Design with their clients’ taste in mind
Be aware of the federal, state and local building regulations so
their designs are up-to-code
5. Interior architects are part of the building and remodelling process
from the beginning to the end
They begin their job by meeting clients to discuss the expectations
for the project
At this point, the interior architect will listen to the wants and
needs of his/her clients as well as giving suggestions to his/her
clients
6. Responsibilities
of an interior
architect
Meet clients’ needs, ideas and budgets
create, present and implement design concepts according to a
client’s spatial needs and wants
Select colours, schemes, texture, fabrics, fittings and furniture
map out the space to determine furniture location and overall room
design
Ensure that the work is completed on time and on budget
making sure that the timeline is met, and costs are within budget
Create illustrations and renderings
Establish competence standards
7. Responsibilities
of an interior
architectat
different stages
of construction
BEFORE CONSTRUCTION
Pre-project
Programming phase – data is gathered and analysed to determine
requirements to be met, culminating in a design concept that express
the proposed character of space.
Schematic design phase – Drawings & other documents are prepared
to depict design concept and solutions (ideas for space allocation,
furniture layouts, types of finishes to be used)
Design development phase – Drawings & other documents refined
and executed to scale, with greater detail for client approval.
Contract document phase – requirements for construction &
furnishings are documented for the client’s written approval.
8. DURING CONSTRUCTION
Construction/Installation
advise whether the work conforms with the construction drawings and
specifications
check for any defects and errors and to ensure they are corrected
Contract administration phase – execution of design plans, including
oversight of work performed by tradespeople, to see that they are
consistent with the design concept.
9. AFTERCONSTRUCTION
Post-completion
Meet with all interested parties (client and employees, general
contractor, and architect)
Make follow-up phone calls to the client, asking how things are going
and whether any additional services are required
10. Drawings Produced by
InteriorArchitects
“Drawing is a tool and a language. A tool because it serves to analyse
and understand, and a language in so far as it expresses and procures to
‘translate’ those formless sensations that ‘float’ in the interior, retaining
the impressions produced in the act of observing.” – Arne Jacobsen
11. Concept/Mood
Board
conveys the overall feel of a project, putting together images and
objects which inspire, target desires and depict creativity and
innovation
a method of creating a ‘visual conversation’ with the client and
other members of the design team
a guide tool to show to clients for approval before proceeding
further
helps the designer to keep all of their ideas together and
integrated
13. Sketches
SKETCHES – fast, immediate &
require only a pen and paper
Used as a way of observing &
recording
A way of ‘thinking out loud’
14. Sketches
(Analytical
Sketches)
is when you draw something out in order to understand or explain
something either to yourself or others
involve non-formal elements such as lines of
sights/measurements, often incorporating fragments of plan,
section and perspective on the same page.
could be described as sketching out ideas rather than spaces.
15. Sketches
(Design
Sketches)
Sketches are an immediate and intuitive form of drawing.They are
a fast and fluid way of exteriorising thoughts.
Because of the ease and speed of sketching they are often done in
a series and it is possible to literally see the thought process as it
develops.
17. Survey
Drawings
Interior architects will often find themselves working within
existing buildings and spaces.
Some of the first drawings to be made for a proposal will therefore
be a survey or record of the building in its existing condition.
The more accurate and thorough the survey the easier the
subsequent work will be.
18. Survey
Drawings
Record all the information that might be useful or inform the
proposed design.
often are quick, rough and in the form of sketches and notes, with
layers of information and use of colour to highlight important
aspects.
If available, the original plans and sections are referred to.The
drawings should be checked that they are ‘as built’ and any
alterations that have occurred to the building should be noted.
22. Diagrams
Abstract drawings that use symbols/ideograms as a graphic
shorthand rather than attempting pictorial likeness.
They focus on specific attributes, editing out superfluous
information for clarity.
23. Diagrams
(Conceptual
Diagram)
Often called a “Bubble Diagram”
Indicates functional and spatial
relations
Identifies major spaces, areas,
and other important features
Bubble size is not drawn to scale
at this time
24. Diagrams
(Schematic
Plan)
Indicates spatial ad circulation
relationships
Scale and shape of the spaces
become evident
Important features are
delineated
Several schemes are quickly
sketched for study
25. Preliminary
Plan
Scaled proportions of spaces and
elements
Addition of internal architectural
details
Walls, windows, and built-in items are
shown
Furniture might be indicated in some
areas
26. Final Plan
Fully scaled drawing depicting space,
objects, and usage
Details such as doors, windows,
counters, etc., are shown
Furniture often shown to indicate
how a space is used
Textures often drawn to show
surface of materials
27. Orthographic
Projection
One of the most useful tools available to the interior architect
A geometrical technique of projecting lines at right angles
between a picture plane and an object, usually a building.
Projection lines are parallel and the resulting image has no
perspective.
Depending on the picture plane, there are different types of
orthographic projection:
Plan
Elevation
Section
Plan and section provide a method of opening up the building to
look inside.
If drawn to scale, different drawings are able to refer to each other
and a 3D design can be constructed entirely from 2D drawings.
29. Orthographic
Projection
PLAN
A horizontal measured cut
through the structure,
space or object.
SECTION
A vertical measured cut
through a structure, space
or object.
The section is generally
cut through the centre of
the space but again can be
cut at any point along the
plan.
ELEVATION
A frontal measured
drawing that documents
the front face of things.
This can be an ‘external
elevation’ or for interior
spaces an ‘internal
elevation’.
30. Axonometric &
Isometric
Drawings
Axonometric (aka ‘paraline’) is constructed by placing a plan at 45
degrees to the paper edge and extruding or projecting the edge
lines vertically to describe the walls.
Isometric works on the same principle but the plan is set at 30
degrees.
ability to offer a swift method of constructing a 3D view while
allowing for ‘true’ measurement in all 3 dimensions.
However, the resulting interior will have no perspective because
the projecting lines are parallel, and the image can look distorted
with the viewer placed floating above/below the space.
32. Perspective
Drawings
The lines of projection converge on the viewpoint (the viewer’s or
painter’s eye) and thereby give an illusion of depth.
Allows the viewer to stand in the space in a way the previous
drawings never can. It is about focal points in a room and the
arrangement of elements and furniture.
It can be useful to show the more experiential qualities of the
interior such as the space itself, light qualities and views beyond.
35. Summary
Interior architecture/design/decoration deal with the design and
development of an interior space but on different scales
The interior architect must be a creative individual with
knowledge about colours and textures but must also have sound
knowledge of architectural and structural concepts
The interior architect may deal with a proposed building or may be
redesigning an existing structure
The interior architect produces various 2D and 3D images to
convey ideas and may also act as a construction reference.
However, they may also refer to existing drawings when working
with pre-existing buidings.

Editor's Notes
Danish architect and designer
Words fail miserably when trying to translate design concepts – what one person calls “edgy” another might see as chaotic.
Visuals communicate things that words cannot. Picture is worth a thousand words, and mood boards are a great tool to create that picture for the client.
Mood boards (sometimes called inspiration boards) are used in a variety of disciplines.
Fabric swatches and paint chip samples are grouped together on a poster to show a homeowner what type of atmosphere the new décor will create.
The mood board is essentially casual; it lets the designer start with broad strokes and get feedback before too much time is invested in the wrong direction. Think of it as rapid visual prototyping.
Designers use concept boards to convey the overall feel of a project, putting together images and objects which inspire, target desires and depict creativity and innovation. Concept boards are also very useful at the early stages of a project as a guide tool to show to clients for approval before proceeding further. The images which are used on these presentation boards do not necessarily have to relate directly to the project, some of the images can create a "feeling" or "mood" rather. These images are for inspiration and the designer can draw out certain elements or colours from them and use these to inform their design concept.
