WHILE DESIGNING THE INTERIORS OF A SPACE THE
FOCUS STAYS ON THE FOLLOWING DOMAINS:

- AESTHETIC
- THEME
- FURNITURE
- ORNAMENTATION
- COLOR SCHEME
- LIGHTING
- PRIVACY AMONG THE INTERNAL SPACES

IN THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON

THE IMPLEMETATION OF PRIVACY AND SOME
MEANS OF VISUAL CONTROL IN INTERNAL SPACES.
VISUAL CONTROL:

VISUAL CONTROL INSIDE A SPACE CAN BE

ACHIEVED BY THE USE OF CERTAIN PANELS OR
FIXTURES.

THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROPERTY CAN BE

ACHIEVED THROUGH THE USE OF CURTAINS TOO.
IT MIGHT NOT BE IDEAL FOR ALL THE SPACES
BUT IT IS A RELIABLE OPTION.

OTHER TYPES INCLUDE:

- JALIS
- LOUVRES
- ACID-ETCHED GLASS PANELS
- PANELS MADE OF VARIOUS MATERIALS
- LIGHTING
JALI:

JALIS USUALLY ARE PERFORATED SCREENS. FOUND

EXTENSIVELY IN MUGHAL ARCHITECTURE, EARLIER
JALIS WERE MADE OUT OF MARBLE OR SANDSTONE.
NOWADAYS THESE ARE MADE OUT OF A VERY WIDE
RANGE OF MATERIALS.

SOME OF SUCH MATERIALS ARE:

- WOOD
- PLASTER OF PARIS
- STAINLESS STEEL
- PVC
- STONE
- MDF ETC.
LOUVRES:

LOUVRES ARE WIDELY USED ON WINDOWS. THESE

CAN BE DEFINED AS VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL THIN
PANELS, WHICH AS VISUAL BLINDS BUT STILL HELP
WITH THE VENTILATION. THE PANELS CAN BE FIXED
OR ADJUSTABLE.
ACID-ETCHED GLASS PANELS:

ACID-ETCHED GLASS PANELS WHICH ARE

TRANSLUCENT,, PROVIDE A GREAT AMOUNT OF
VISUAL CONTROL WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE
AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT COMING INSIDE.
THE FROSTED FINISH AND THE ABILITY TO DIFFUSE
LIGHT HELP IN BLURRING THE VISION THROUGH THE
PANEL.
PANELS MADE OF VARIOUS MATERIALS:

PANELS MADE OUT OF VARIOUS OTHER MATERIALS

ARE HIGHLY USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF VISUAL
CONTROL. THE PANELS MAY BE TOTALLY OPAQUE OR
EVEN PERFORATED AND TRANSLUCENT SOMETIMES.

WIDELY USED MATERIALS ARE:

- MDF BOARDS
- PARTICLE BOARD
- PVC PANELS
- METAL PANELS
- CONCRETE PANELS
- WOODEN PANELS
- PLYWOOD ETC.
LIGHTING TO CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF VISION INSIDE A
SPACE:

LIGHT IS THE ELEMENT WHICH HELPS US WITH THE VISION.

LIGHT, WHEN FOCUSED OR SOURCED ONTO A PARTICULAR
AREA INSIDE A SPACE, CAN MAKE VISUAL CONTROL MUCH
MORE EASIER.
CURTAINS:

CURTAINS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE INTERIORS.

CURTAINS PROVIDE US WITH THE FLEXIBILITY OF
MAINTAINING PRIVACY ON OUR WILL. CURTAINS ACT AS AN
ELEMENT OF ORNAMENTATION TOO. THEY ARE HIGHLY
USED IN SPACES WHICH MIGHT NEED GOOD AMOUNT OF
NATURAL LIGHTING.

- FLEXIBILITY OF MAINTAINING PRIVACY.

- GREAT FOR SPACES WHICH NEED NATURAL LIGHTING.
- WHEN CURTAINS OF GOOD THICKNESS ARE USED, THIS
MIGHT EVEN HELP WITH THE SOUND INSULATION
- ACTS AS AN ORNAMENTATION TOO.
PRIVACY:

PRIVACY INSIDE A SPACE IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO

THE SENSE OF VISION, IT DOES ALSO APPLY FOR
SOUND. IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS NEED TO BE
PRIVATE AND WHEN IT IS INSIDE AN ENCLOSED
SPACE, THE CONCERN FOR PRIVACY INCREASES.

ELEMENTS USED FOR SOUND INSULATION ARE:

- ACOUSTIC FOAM PANELS
- SOUNDPROOF CURTAINS
- DOOR SEALS AND SWEEPS
- ANTI-VIBRATION FLOOR MATS
- INTERNAL PARTITION PANELS MADE OF
SOUNDPROOF MATERIALS, ETC.
