Lecture 5: Why Materials Matter Flashcards
What are the phases of an interior design project?
- programming
- schematic design
- design development
- contract documentation
- contract administration
programming
info gathering; go farther than what the clients want, do observations and studies
schematic design
showing the client ideas
design development
- budget
- choose the direction you’re going
contract documentation
construction document
- drawings and specification
- FF&E
FF&E
finishes, furniture, and equipment
schedule
charts
specifications
specific written instructions, compliment construction documents, installation & responsibilities
When a discrepancy occurs between the __________ and the ___________, the courts base judgments most often on the _____________.
drawings, specifications, specifications
contract administration
competitive bidding process
supervision, long process
considerations - where to start?
concept (big idea)
cost/budget
appearance/look and feel (what are you looking for?)
function (how does it work? what do you need to do?)
mood (bright? traditional? contemporary?)
installation (costs)
availability (where are materials coming from?)
lead times/schedules
specifications
lead time
the amount of time it takes from when you place the order to when it gets delivered

biomimicry
imitation of elements of nature in design
ex. burrs – velcro
biophilic design
nature and technology
-reduce stress, enhance creativity, healing
carbon neutral
goal: design to reduce energy
net zero footprint, balancing
recycling
reuse material
- how long does it take to break down?
- increase in demand
- get LEED points based on how many recycled materials used
