  • 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’.

There is an understanding of technological practices as essential for the effective management of the design process; still, the creative introduction of advanced building techniques is not commonly recognized by interior architects. The objective of the research is to indicate the possible multidimensional consequences of the analysis of materials’ physical attributes and the consistent application of advanced building techniques to complete interior components. The basis for this study formed the design concepts of aesthetic functionalism, place attachment, and a content-context model of the association between interior components and the building fabric. Some theoretical frameworks were used for a qualitative evaluation of interior components of selected cultural facilities completed in the last decade in Poland. Citation: Celadyn, M.; Celadyn, W.

    Design with LED Technology for Interior Designers This unit will discuss LED technology from the point of view of an Interior Designer and a custom LED lighting fabricator. LED lighting technology applications will be showcased in a variety of Interior Design projects, residential and commercial, by Paris K Interior Design. They will be analyzed for their availability, affordability and applicability in various design scenarios. A discussion will follow to help audience understand the difficulties still to be surpassed, but also abundance of available custom led light options an Interior Designer or Architect has in the market place today. Paris Kostopoulos, Paris K Interior Design After working along Industry notable designers such as Jeffrey Bilhuber, Susan Orsini and Richard Mervis, Paris Kostopoulos founded Paris K Interior Design in 2001. He has since completed various hi-end residential and commercial projects in the New York Metropolitan area. Paris Kostopoulos used lighting extensively in his projects implementing LED technology early on in his career and has strived to push the boundaries of conventional design and construction methods in every project he delivers to his clients. In addition, he served as the Operations Manager for the Department of the "Look of the Games", for the Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games Athens 2004 and as a consultant to the same department of the Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympic Games, Torino, Italy, Oct 2004 – Jan 2006.

WMU Interior Design Students Place at MSU Design Charrette April 4, 2017 Allyson Dykstra, Shannon Stockelman, and Ashley Walters recently participated in the Michigan State University (MSU) Interior Design Student Organization’s Interior Design Charrette. Of the five competing teams, Shannon’s team took first place in the competition and Allyson and Ashley’s team took second place. The two placing teams received scholarship money as a prize. The event took place Saturday, March 25th on MSU’s campus and included students from several local campuses. Students were challenged to design a space, put together a presentation, and pitch their concepts to a panel of Interior Design professionals, all in one day! Ashley shared that, “it was really neat to see different skill sets from different schools, and it was even more special that we got to teach some of our own drafting skills to our new friends at MSU.” These students proved that when Bronco’s head out to compete, they always make a great showing! .
