Sinopsis
Interior design is one of the most exciting and creative professions. A combination of art, science, and technology, interior design, in practice, manipulates space, form, texture, color, and light to enhance the quality of human life. This book is about interior spaces and their design and about interior design as a profession. The practice of actively designing interior space is a major commitment by those who enter the field, that is, people who work toward improving our built environments.
We spend an increasing amount of our lives indoors in built environments. We wake from a night’s sleep in someform of interior space and go to learn, work, or play in another space that gives a sense of purpose to our lives.We may briefly go outdoors to get to the site of our day’s occupation, but the amount of time spent outdoors isusually only a fraction of the time spent indoors.
Why should we be concerned about the design of interiors? Well-designed spaces can contribute substantially to our sense of well-being, not just serve as shelters. They can be positive influences on our socialization, learning, and general appreciation of life. People’s behavior can be positively or negatively reinforced by interaction withenvironmental forces.
The task of those who design our interior spaces becomes increasingly important as more people spend greater amounts of time indoors. Designers must devise spaces that serve the basic needs of the users and at
the same time create positive and uplifting effects. Properly designed environments are efficient and harmonious (Figure 1.1). They can have a pervasive positive influence, which interiors that are not carefully designedmay not have.
