  • Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles
    sustainability Concept Paper Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles Magdalena Celadyn Faculty of Interior Design, Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, pl. Matejki 13, 31-157 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2019; Accepted: 10 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: The paper discusses an interior architectural design model to enable the accomplishment of sustainable design strategy of efficient resources/waste management. The proposed design concept, referred to as interior architectural design for adaptive reuse, is based on the reintroduction of reclaimed or salvaged building construction materials and products acquired from demolished or refurbished building structural portions, into the structure of interior components. The presented design approach puts circular design methods and techniques in interior design practice at the core of environmentally responsible architectural design. To achieve its objectives, the implementation of resources efficiency strategy into the interior design scheme should remain a decisive interior design quality criterion. Meanwhile, the issues related to the environmental contextualization of interior spaces and their constitutive components, in fulfilment of sustainable design requirements for the conservation of natural resources, are neither sufficiently recognized by interior designers, nor appropriately highlighted in the current design practice. The main purpose of this concept paper is to develop a theoretical scheme for systemic inclusion of interior architectural design for adaptive reuse into the environmentally sustainable interior architectural design framework. This study provides interior designers with the concept of interior components design for the fulfilment of resources efficiency and waste management effectiveness. Keywords: sustainable architectural design; sustainable interior design; interior components; adaptive reuse; environmental contextualization 1.

    DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 2020 – 2021 COURSE CONTENTS COMPULSORY COURSES INAR 1110 Basic Design for Interior Architecture I The aim of this course is to introduce the students to the elements and principles of design. The elements of design consist of point, line, shape, texture, light, color, form and space. The principles of design include unity and variety, balance, emphasis and rhythm. Students are expected to apply the understanding of design concepts to create 2-D visual compositions and encouraged to adopt a creative approach to become self-critical in their work. INAR 1111 Spatial Representations I Main aim of this course is to make an introduction to the free hand drawing, technical drawing and model making methods in the light of basic drawing and presentation techniques and making students to identify and know the architectural geometries through using methods. Another aim of this course is to improve the capabilities of converting and transferring existing geometries into paper with two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings. Also, it is aimed to make students to comprehend the basic properties and the techniques of geometries for making new geometric designs. Within the scope of this course, two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and forms are presented in paper-based media by referring to technical drawing conventions. While transferring into paper, orthographic, axonometric and perspective drawing conventions are taught. In addition to transferring two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometries into paper plane, geometric relations are also covered and analyzed through model making. As another method, briefing about basic presentation methods is made.

    Journal of Learning Spaces Volume 3, Number 1. 2014 ISSN 21586195 Building of Requirement: Liberating Academic Interior Architecture Yelena McLane Jim Dawkins Florida State University Florida State University The authors focus on the strategies employed in the recent renovation of the William Johnston Building at Florida State University, in which the historical exterior was preserved, while the interiors were adapted to new functions as classrooms, study centers, and common spaces with intentionally undefined purposes. The building’s various use capacities, together with the flexibility of its interior environments, makes it a building of requirement. The paper reveals how the building’s historical interior layouts and architectural elements defined the approach to realizing a postmodern and future-oriented building while fostering new encounters and forming new user familiarities, thereby contributing to the evolution of the structure as living history.

  • How a Designer Can Support Sustainability in a Creative
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2010 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 17 - 20, 2010. HOW A DESIGNER CAN SUPPORT SUSTANABILITY IN A CREATIVE WAY K. I. Kazamia and M. O. Kafaridou Keywords: sustainability, design process, paper-mass, product design 1. Introduction This paper explores the term “Interior Design” and in particular the relationship of the interior design profession with its direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Through a brief analysis, we explore this close relationship, establishing opportunities designers have to promote environmental sustainability. This work goes on to elucidate the role of the interior designer in the delivery of sustainability, providing examples from literature. Further, the process of design, within a context of sustainability is examined, from the design purpose, source of inspiration and subject through to the selection of materials, method of construction, communication of object’s messages and finally, the realization of the idea and usage. Finally, the paper expands the relationship of the interior design profession to the wider scope of social and economic sustainability and suggests a strategy which leads to the involvement of community to promote the uptake of sustainability. In summary, this paper presents an example of an innovative approach to design practice, working towards the promotion of holistic sustainable practice. 1.1 The definition of Interior Design/Architecture John F. Pile (1978 p.27) defined the term ‘design’ as a term which ‘describes all of the decisions that determine how a particular space will be.’ He explained further that ‘design’ can also be described as a determination of form, with form understood to mean every aspect of every quality including size, shape, material, structure, texture and colour that makes one particular physical reality different from any other’.

  • B101-2007 Commentary
    Document Commentary B101™ – 2007 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect INTRODUCTION AIA Document B101–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, is part of the A201™–2007 Family of documents. B101 is the flagship 2007 owner-architect agreement upon which the other 2007 owner-architect agreements are based. B101 is a one-part document that was designed to replace B141™– 1997 and B151™–1997. B101 provided the basis from which three other 2007 owner-architect agreements were developed, each specifically tailored to the size and complexity of the Project: B103™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Project; B104™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Project of Limited Scope; and B105™–2007, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Residential or Small Commercial Project. Owner-architect agreements for interior architecture and ten scopes of architect’s services documents were also revised in 2007 to be consistent with the format and terminology used in B101–2007. The A201 Family of Documents A document family typically refers to documents written for a particular project delivery method, such as Design- Bid-Build, Construction Management or Design-Build. Documents within a particular family are crafted with common phrasing, uniform definitions and a consistent, logical allocation of responsibilities through the tiers of relationships. A201 and its associated agreements are written for construction projects in the Design-Bid-Build delivery method, also called “Design-Award-Build,” “conventional” or “traditional.” This delivery method follows a sequential process whereby the owner first retains the architect to design the project and to prepare the construction drawings and specifications.

    ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN — M.ARCH PROGRAM COURSES M.ARCH COURSES M.ARCH TRACK I PRE-PROFESSIONAL REQUIRED COURSES M.ARCH TRACK II PREREQUISITE COURSES EDAD 502 METHODS AND MATERIALS This course introduces students to the origins, properties, working methods, and assembly techniques of the major materials that comprise the built environment with a focus on the development of woodshop skills and wood frame construction. EDAD 510 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I As a first architectural design studio designed to provide a basis in architecture and interior architecture, students are introduced to program and layout, access systems, siting, and elementary building systems including foundations, stick frame construc- tion, and roof framing. Through a series of projects of increasing complexity, students work on designs that include small scale private and public programs. EDAD 516 HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING I The course examines building cultures from different periods and places, beginning with pre-history and ancient civilizations from more than 5000 years ago that kept the first written records, through the era of medievalism up to the dawn of modernity. Emphasis is given to different aspects of the built domain: selected individual build- ings, their symbolical significance, layouts, spatial organization, construction, building materials and technologies, along with buildings’ sites and city plans within the broad- er urban and cultural landscapes. Each lecture is based on a variety of case studies of buildings and settlements explored within their specific geographies and histor- ical settings. Rather than asking for simple memorizing of particular data or dates, students develop skills of analyzing, comparing, and getting oriented within distinct historical spaces and periods.

  • Healing Through Design: the Psychological Effects of Design on the Elderly a Darch Project Submitted to the Graduate Division Of
    HEALING THROUGH DESIGN: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DESIGN ON THE ELDERLY A DARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARCHITECTURE DECEMBER 2016 By Kellene Kehau DeMello DArch Committee: Sara Carr, Chairperson Andy Kaufman Beverly Hoversland Keywords: Environmental Psychology, Elderly, Biophilic ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertation is to document and explore how the built environment impacts elderly individuals dealing with various forms of dementia. The human population within the United States is not only increasing, but the number of those over the age of 65 is also increasing. As U.S. citizens age, the number of individuals with dementia will increase accordingly, which will increase the demand for senior care facilities that focus on treating individuals with dementia-related diseases. When continuing to live at home or with loved ones is no longer an option, family members will look for an appropriate senior care facility where their loved one can live and receive healthcare. Given the medical realities involved in the aging process, design elements must be created in a way that allow residents to physically, psychologically, and emotionally flourish. However, creating such a senior care facility that addresses all of these needs for residents on an individual basis can be challenging when the range and ability of each individual can vary greatly. This dissertation proposes to investigate current senior care facilities from three different locations around the world and three locations on the island of O’ahu to determine the ideal senior care residential design for a modern facility in Hawai’i.
