INTERIOR DESIGN

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
SPACE AS A RAW MATERIAL
• Interior design goes beyond the architectural definition of space .
In planning the layout, furnishings and enrichment of a space ,
the interior designer should be aware of its arch. character as
well as its potential modifications and enhancement.
• Interior designing is all about creating spaces, which is not only
aesthetically appealing but also comfortable and functional. An
ideal space is one that can accommodate everything as well as
give you the desired comfort. 
• Architectural designs are created by carving space out of space,
creating space out of space, and designing spaces by dividing
this space using various tools, such as geometry, colours, and
shapes.
• Factors which affects interior design are , Room Functionality ,
Selecting Furniture , A Sense of Balance , Visually Appealing ,
Lighting , colours etc.
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• Square space
• Rectangular space
• Curvilinear space
• Altering space – extension , addition , subtraction and merging

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• The design of interior space requires , an understanding of how
they are formed by the building systems of structure and
enclosure. With that understanding , the interior designer can
work effectively to continue or contrast the essential qualities of
an arch. space.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
QUALITATIVE STUDY
• Qualitative study is a scientific method of observation to
gather non-numerical data. This study "refers to the meanings,
concepts definitions, and description of things" and not to their
"counts or measures".
•  It provides insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or
hypotheses for potential quantitative study.
• Qualitative study is also used to uncover trends in thought and
opinions, and dive deeper into the problem.
• Qualitative data collection methods vary using unstructured or
semi-structured techniques.
• Some common methods include swot analysis , perception study
,focus groups discussions, individual interviews . Random sampling
method is used with less no of participants.
• Example : media infos , perception of occupants etc
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
QUANTITATIVE STUDY
• Quantitative Research is used to quantify the problem by way of
generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into
usable statistics.
• It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other
defined variables and generalize results from a larger sample
population. 
• Quantitative data collection methods are much more structured
than Qualitative data collection methods.
• Quantitative data collection methods include various forms of
questionnaire surveys ex: online surveys, paper surveys, mobile
surveys and kiosk surveys, face-to-face surveys , telephonic
surveys, online polls etc.
• Example : census of india , daylight and illumination studies etc.

OPEN ENDED VS CLOSED

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
ORGANIZATION OF SPACE

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
CENTRALIZED
• It is a stable & concentrated composition
• It consists of numerous secondary spaces that are clustered around
a central, dominant & bigger space.
• It presents secondary spaces that are equal in terms of role, shape
& form, which creates a distribution package that is geometrically
regular to two or more axes.
• Those central organizations whose forms are relatively compact &
geometrically regular can be used to :‐

• Establish "places" in space,

• Be term of axial compositions,
• Inward focus

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
LINEAR
• Consists essentially of a series of spaces.
• These spaces can be interconnected directly, or be linked through
another linear independent and distinct space.
• Those spaces that are important, functionallyor symbolically
within this organization, can take place anywhere in the linear
sequence and show their relevance using their size and shape.
• The organization can solve linear different conditions at the site.
• It can be a straight, segmented or curve line and it can develop
itself horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
• The linear organization can relate itself with other forms of its
context connecting them, working as a barrier to separate things
and surrounding them to create a space field.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
RADIAL
• It combines elements of both linear and
centralized organizations. It consists of a
dominant central space, with many radial
linear organizations.
• While a centralized organization is an
introverted scheme that directs to the
interior of its central space, a radial
organization is an extrovert scheme that
escapes from its context.
• The central space of a radial organization
has a regular form, acts as the hub of the
linear arms and maintains the formal
regularity of the whole
• Outward focus

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
CLUSTERED
• This type of spatial organization is used to connect spaces using
proximity.
• It can accommodate in its composition spaces with different sizes,
shapes and functions, as long as they relate themselves by
proximity and some visual element.
• The connected spaces can be grouped gather around a large area
or a well defined spatial volume.
• interlock their volume and merge into a single form having
variety of faces. Contains spaces which have common properties
shape , size, texture

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
GRID
• It consists of forms and spaces whose position in space and their
interrelationships are regulated by a type of plot or a three‐
dimensional field.
• It can be created by establishing a regular scheme of points that
define the intersections between two groups of parallel lines.
• Its capacity on organization is the result of its regularity and
continuity that includes the same elements that distributes.

SPATIAL RELATIONSHIP

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
SENSE OF SPACE ( SPACE IN EMOTION )

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• ORDER : the arrangement or disposition of people or things in
relation to each other according to a particular sequence, pattern, or
method.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• GROWTH :

• SEQUENCE : a particular order in which related things follow each

other or are arranged . Sequences can be both finite and infinite.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• DIVISION : division of spaces by another space ex , circulation
space etc

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
SCALE AND PROPORTION
• The design principle of scale is related to proportion. Both
proportion and scale deal with the relative sizes of things.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• Theories of proportion
• Golden section
• Classical orders
• Renaissance theories
• Modular
• Ken
• Anthropometry
• Scale

• Scale : Mechanical scale ( calculation of something’s physical size

according to a standard system of measurement )
• Visual scale (relating to other objects around it )
• Human scale ( the feeling of bigness or smallness of a space or an
interior element give us )
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
SURFACES
• Surface is the extended two-dimensional outer boundary of a
three-dimensional object.

• Walls
• Floor
• Ceiling
• Partition

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
WALLS AND FLOORS
• Walls – load bearing and non load bearing walls
• Walls enclose space and restrict views of movement
• Surface materials and treatments , present an unlimited number of
options in walls and floor coverings in interior design .
• Walls – angled , curved , wall openings and well articulated
( texture , paint etc )
• Walls have two sides , they can respond in different ways to the
spaces they address .

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• Surface materials : Tiles ,
marble , granite , wooden
planks , cladding , brick or
stone cladding , grfc panels
etc.
• Surface treatments :
Concrete finish , painting ,
textured paintings , hand laid
mud plastering etc.

• Metallic concrete finish

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
CEILINGS
• A ceiling is an overhead interior surface that covers the upper
limits of a room which can be decorated to any taste or style.
• Ceilings treatments can be applied directly to the concrete ceiling
or applied on the false ceiling ( suspended ) etc.
• Surface treatments : paintings , pop moulds , cladding on the
ceiling , filler slabs , decorative lightings , POP grid ceiling ,
thermocol sheets , vaulted , domed , coffered slabs etc

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• Suspended light fixtures • Metal planks

• Vaulted ceiling

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
PARTITIONS
• Partition walls are usually not load-bearing, and can be
constructed out of many materials, including steel panels, bricks,
cloth, glass , plastic, plasterboard, wood, blocks of clay, terra-
cotta, concrete, and glass.
• A timber , steel or pop board partition consists of a wooden
framework, supported on the floor or by side walls.

MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
MODULE I | 08 | 08 | 2019
• Freestanding walls that stop short of the ceiling do not connect to
adjacent walls on either end . Stability may be achieved by
utilizing L and U shaped configurations or by tying the walls to
the ceilings.
