Transition Palette
The document discusses transitioning a hospital system's carpet and seating options to more easily maintained and affordable materials. It proposes a neutral color palette with accents for the new standard-dyed carpet to coordinate with existing colors over time. New seating options in performance textiles like Crypton vinyls and polyurethanes are suggested to improve cleanability, durability and reduce costs while making the overall look more sophisticated. Sample color options presented are all under $50 per yard and have ink resistance and antimicrobial properties suitable for various hospital areas.
Die materials and die systems
The document discusses various die materials and systems used for indirect restorations. It defines a die as a positive reproduction of a prepared tooth used to fabricate restorations outside the mouth. Common die materials include gypsum, resins, metals and polymers, each with advantages and disadvantages. Removable die systems like dowel pins, Di-Lok and Pindex are discussed which allow repositioning of dies in the working cast for wax pattern fabrication. Proper selection of die material and system depends on factors like accuracy, strength and compatibility with impression materials.
Materials used in die fabrication
This document discusses various materials used for fabricating dental dies, including their properties and uses. It covers gypsum products like dental stone (Type III and high-strength Type IV and V stones), electroformed dies using copper or silver plating, epoxy resins, flexible die materials, and newer ceramic and CAD/CAM die systems. Gypsum products are economical but less durable, while electroformed and epoxy dies have better detail reproduction and strength but are more complex or expensive to produce. The document provides details on the composition, setting reactions, properties and advantages/disadvantages of each material type.

· SUMMARY
To be livable, an interior must meet the needs of its occupants. The goals of interior design, as discussed in Chapter 1, include function and the human factor, aesthetics, and economics and ecology. These goals must be applied to space planning. Economics and function dictate spatial needs and are addressed before fabrics, furnishings, and finishes are specified (Figure 7.1).
PROGRAMMING INFORMATION FOR SPACE PLANNING
Economic Concerns
Whether clients are searching for a new office space or a new home, the building and its furnishings are probably the most expensive investments they will make. They want the best value possible for every dollar spent. The designer should study costs and look carefully at such criteria as available budget, client needs, materials and components required, time limits, building requirements, and codes.
The cost of a structure varies depending on many factors: its size, structure, geographic location, materials specified, cubic footage or volume (the three-dimensional measurement of the height, depth, and width of the space), special construction features (such as raised ceilings, angled or curved spaces, custom windows and doors), and the cost of local labor. Average building costs per square foot, exclusive of the price of the land, depend on the region where the structure will be built. An excellent source for determining construction costs is the Means Cost Estimation series of texts by Robert S. Means.
Costs also relate to the selection of furnishings. A good-quality, low-budget sofa could cost $1,200, whereas the price of an elaborate custom-upholstered sofa could reach into the thousands of dollars. Designers must determine what level of furnishings will work within the client’s budget. The deciding factor is the quality of the product, not necessarily its price. If a client cannot afford a quality product, it is better to wait until the product can be purchased. Placing inexpensive, low-quality furnishings in a space almost always results in an unhappy client and a poor design solution. It is better to ...

- 1. Hospital System Soft Seating Palette for Break areas, Patient Rooms, and Waiting Areas February 2013 The plan to transition from the existing custom space-dyed carpet to a standard line solution-dyed carpet requires going from a very specific color palette to a neutral palette with accents. Since the carpet will change gradually, they are looking to coordinate with the existing color scheme and add neutrals over time. Currently the hospital system reupholsters waiting and lobby seating in more easily maintained textiles and want to add more coordinating options. The environmental services group likes the clean ability and durability of performance textiles with Crypton and coated polyurethane and vinyl. The engineering and maintenance personnel also want to save money on the materials. The goal is to reduce the cost and make the overall look more sophisticated. The options I chose to offer are all less than $50 per yard, all fabrics standard in Crypton and vinyls and polyurethanes with ink resistance and antimicrobial/bacterial properties. Patient Rooms vinyl Break Areas vinyl also to be used with purple accented walls All Area Usage Vinyl Teal/Green Blue Purple OLD Carpet NEW Erica Y. Byrd PORTFOLIO 1
- 2. New Impact New Location August 2012 Though previously a Doctors office with exam rooms, this location needed an overhaul. During construction, this designer discovered that the existing restroom doors in the public area did not meet code requirements nor the needs of this practice, bariatrics. Remedies were made and the necessary upgrades and freshening to accommodate the relocating Doctor office. Furniture was relocated and existing furniture re-purposed. New signage installed throughout and exterior signs to draw attention New furniture was ordered for the additional student study area. At the request of the practice manager, I made the recommendation for the VCT flooring pattern layout to include tiles in colors from their old location. Erica Y.

Pediatric Doctors Practice offsite Flooring, Paint, Signage December 2012 Flooring to match OB- GYN office on first floor Women’s Pavilion 2nd Floor Elevator Lobby and Entry Allied Tile Au Natural Collection Imaginary RS12 Riverstone for renovation at a previously congested area requiring additional acoustical privacy. Erica Y. Byrd PORTFOLIO As minor updates were being made to this doctors practice, I was asked to speak with the office manager and determine which accent paint colors, from an established palette, she wanted to use for the exam rooms. As we met, she expressed that new signage would also be welcome and a way to brighten the entry hallway. We also discovered an opportunity to add an accent to the flooring where the new check out booths were being added. We also determined that new signage would help to identify the entry to the practice. 4
- 5. 5Erica Y. Byrd PORTFOLIO Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Neurosurgery October 2012 With a small budget this doctors office expanded the number of exam rooms originally available to see post operative patients. The office manager wanted to reuse the existing ceiling tiles in the new space, match existing carpeting and incorporate the wall colors into the flooring and recommend a vinyl fabric for the chairs in the exam rooms and try to get a new set of furniture for the break room.
