<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the working space, for example, Florence Knoll, who was
the director of the interior design service; The Knoll Planning Unit
(1943-1971), introduced a new field of interior design and presented a new way
of designing corporate interiors by addressing the clients’ needs.<span lang="EN-US"> In a New York Times article in 1964, Florence Knoll said “I am not a
decorator … the only place I decorate is my own house” </span>In a time where
interior design and interior decoration was considered a “feminine” job, Knoll
questioned and re-defined the labels of architect, interior designer and
interior decorator. Her methods resulted in equating the importance of interior
design with building’s architecture. <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Media only magnifies the public misconception of interior
decorators, interior designers and architects. In a journal I read while
researching this topic for uni, the writer explained that in shelter magazines,
editors avoid including the designer’s spacial conception and instead focus
only on the objects and furniture, while architectural magazines tend to show
spaces stripped out of any traces of décor that make the space inhabitable. Architecture
and Interior Designers </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">should co-exist and form a single
vision that compliments one another.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The bigger
misconception, which media has contributed greatly to the public’s confusion,
is that between an interior designer and an interior decorator. In another
journal, a study shows that design-based reality shows tarnish the image of
interior designers. We’ve all seen them on TV as there are countless versions
of them but they somehow always miss the mark to portray the true job of an
interior designer. They give away the perception that being an interior is
“anyone’s job” and fail to include what it takes to be one, including
qualification and experience. <span lang="EN-US">A quote, which I completely agree
with from that journal, says “For those of us who entered the profession
through the process of education, experience, and examination, the public’s
lack of knowledge of who we are and what we do is extremely frustrating.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The public perceptions of our profession, has caused
for the addition of yet another label ‘Interior Architect’ to better
communicate the importance of the role an Interior designer has on the actual
building’s outcome. And even though there are many reasons for these
perceptions that still remain, we decide our own labels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To me, interior design is the spacial planning of an environment and the experience it
creates for its’ inhabitants/users. Which means, interior design has
always been around; a cave can be
an interior space so the act of inhabiting it and changing it can be considered
interior design. Interior design is also about problem
solving; practicality and functionality are key aspects to make a space
inhabitable and enjoyable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also believe, maybe because I grew up in Dubai
during its boom, that the ‘wow-factor’ could be a very pleasant and enjoyable
experience in commercial and public spaces especially.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Studying about the history
of design is also very important because in order to be great at
anything and improve, we need to go back in time and study how and why design
changed. Why was it affected and how did the change of people’s behaviours and
circumstances result in a change of design. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Materials are a big
component of design, and through time the designer pioneers have come up with
new innovative solutions using new materials and the ways to use them. One of
those examples would have to be the Eames chair by Charles Eames, who set out
to re-invent the very idea of a chair. He thought they could mould the new
miracle material at the time, plywood, into two directions at once to make a
comfortable, form-fitting shell. After many failed attempts and years or
development, the Eames chair was successfully built the way it was intended,
and to this day it is one of the most famous chair designs that has contributed
to today’s technology.</span></div>

When I board on a long flight, the first thing I check on tv
is if they have any architectural or any design discipline related
documentaries. And surprisingly, there is always at least 1 to feed my brain
some creativity and valuable information.</div>

They interview some of the designers who worked with them

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm back at uni this week completing my last semester and one of the briefs I've been given is to design a small unit including a house, a shop and an apartment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though I've designed small dwellings before, it is always tricky to fit all the necessities in a comfortable and well designed matter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This example is very inspiring, and it deals with a tiny 24 sqms! This is the home of Christian Schallert which is located in Barcelona and designed by the Spanish architect Barbara Appolloni.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make sure you check out the video, it is truly amazing how everything is tucked away nicely and fits perfectly. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so sorry I've disappeared for months and months but I've been too busy with my actual interior design work for uni and my other blog so my apologies!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The latest project that I'm working on at the moment is a hotel that's more than 10 storys high but about 8 metres narrow, so I started looking for precedent studies and came across the shibuya-ku house by the architect yuko nagayama and was inspired but the triangular shape of this atrium and the shapes it created in the interior spaces as a result</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The atrium was designed to let as much natural light in as possible due to it being overshadowed by tall buildings around it; which is also the case with the site we were given. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">love that triangular corner it creates; makes it an interesting hallway to walk through. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But working with triangles is very difficult as you can imagine, it creates a lot of dead space and it is very hard to create comfortable, practical and habitable areas around it.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I was researching for my trip to Canada in June, I was really excited to find Frank Gehry's AGO (art gallry of Ontario) and surprised it is his only work in Ontario considering he was born in Toronto.</span></div>
