The document discusses the theory of design and constraints involved in the interior design process. It explains that there are scientific and unscientific theories, and interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology and architecture. When designing interiors, a common style and theme should run throughout linked spaces. Some key principles discussed include balance, focal point, rhythm, details, scale and proportion, color, and the steps of the interior design process. The document notes that every design project has unique constraints related to the client, program, codes, context, site, technology, cost and schedule.

- 1. AR. VIJAY KUMAR INTERIOR DESIGN - VIII Lecture – 2 Theory of design & the constraints involved in an interior design process.
- 2. Theory of design Theory : Systems of ideas used to explain something Two Types of Theory – Scientific Theories : “true” or “facts” because they have been found experimentally to work Unscientific Theories: found wanting when similarly experimentally tested. Design: Conceptualization of ideas, Creation, how everything fits together in harmony
- 3. • “Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment. • Interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology & architecture. • When we design something a series of spaces linked together by halls and stairways. A common style and theme runs throughout.
- 5. • Balance can be described as the equal distribution of visual weight in a Space. • Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, and Radial. • Symmetrical balance is characterized by the same objects repeated in the same positions on either side of a vertical axis. Found in traditional interiors. • Symmetry also reflects the human form, so we are innately comfortable in a balanced setting. Balance
- 6. • Asymmetrical balance is more appropriate in design in these days. • Balance is achieved with some dissimilar objects that have equal visual weight or eye attraction. • Asymmetrical balance is more casual and less contrived in feeling, but more difficult to achieve. • Radial symmetry is when all the elements of a design are arrayed around a center point. • A spiral staircase is also an excellent example of radial balance. • It can provide an interesting counterpoint if used appropriately.
- 10. • A well-designed room always has, depending on the size of it, one or more focal points. • A focal point must be dominant to draw attention and interesting enough to encourage the viewer to look further. • A focal point thus must have a lasting impression but must also be an integral part of the decoration linked through scale, style, color or theme. Focal Point

- 12. • Rhythm is all about visual pattern repetition. • Continuity, recurrence or organized movement. • To achieve these themes in a design, you need to think about repetition, progression, transition and contrast. • Using these mechanisms will impart a sense of movement to your space, leading the eye from one design element to another. Rhythm
- 13. • Repetition is the use of the same element more than once throughout a space.. • Progression is taking an element and increasing or decreasing one or more of its qualities. • Transition tends to be a smoother flow, where the eye naturally glides from one area to another. • Contrast : to compare in order to show unlikeness or differences; • Contrast is the difference in luminance or colour that makes an object distinguishable

- 17. • Everything from the trimming on the lamp shade, the color of the piping on the scatter cushion, to the light switches and cupboard handles need attention. • Details should not be obvious but they should be right, enhancing the overall feel of a room. • Scale and Proportion – These two design principles go hand in hand, since both relate to size and shape. Proportion has to do with the ratio of one design element to another, or one element to the whole. Scale concerns itself with the size of one object compared to another. • Color – Colors have a definite impact on the atmosphere that you want to create when doing interior design. Details

- 19. • A series of steps that a designer takes when working on an interior design project. • It is vital to stick to the design process during a project as skipping a stage, completing stages out of order of not using the process at all will result in a lower quality outcome, an outcome the client is not happy with or even worse no outcome at all. Design process
- 20. • Analyse The Brief. : • Identify The Key Requirements. • Create An Accommodation List. • Draw Relationship Diagrams. • Research Existing Designs. • Create a Concept Design. • Obtain Client Feedback. • Implement The Design. • Evaluate The Design Steps of the interior design process

- 22. • Every project situation is different. every project has a unique combination of design influences .Process that is both problem seeking & problem-solving. • Client • Program • Community Concerns • Codes and Regulations • Context and Climate • Site • Building Technology • Cost • Schedule Constraints
Editor's Notes
- #4: all interior design elements should be the same but they should work together and complement each other to strengthen the whole composition.
- #5: Color schemes in general are a great way to unify a collection of spaces.
- #7: Contrived : Showing effects of planning or manipulation.
- #11: Interior design’s biggest enemy is boredom. Try to maintain balance, though, so that the focal point doesn’t hog all of the attention. can create one by highlighting a particular piece of furniture, artwork, or by simply painting a contrasting color in one area
- #14: Progression : A cluster of candles of varying sizes on a simple tray creates interest because of the natural progression shown. You can also achieve progression via color, such as in a monochromatic color scheme where each element is a slightly different shade of the same hue. Transition : The most common transition is the use of a curved line to gently lead the eye, such as an arched doorway or winding path.
- #18: As color expresses the whole spirit and life of a scheme; details are just as an important underpinning of interior design.
- #21: Analyse The Brief. what the client wants ,,as the client will likely have no design experience, carefully analyse all details given by the client , their ability to answer the brief set by the client. Identify The Key Requirements: what requirements must I fulfil, ask them some questions in order to discover their exact requirements, style of design that would suit them. Create An Accommodation List : An accommodation list is a list of spaces/areas. Draw Relationship Diagrams: diagrammatically present the relationship between the selected spaces, function of each space Create a Concept Design : 2D or 3D digital graphics , A mood board type of poster design consist of images, text, colours or textures samples of objects to communicate ideas to the client. Evaluate The Design : the successful parts & avoid or solve them in future
