Ncidq Developing And Presenting Design Concepts Flashcards
_________ should not be confused with style.
Design theory
A_________ is a way to direct design based on a system of beliefs or philosophy.
Design theory
Most fundamental beginning of design.
Design theory
What are 4 common ways design theories can be developed?
Historic precedent
Environmental design research
Functional needs
Theories of perception
____________ is design research that focuses on theories of the interaction between humans and their environment.
Environmental design research
The common approach to design theory that base current design on ideas and styles of the past.
Historic precedent.
Focus on old solutions that work for current problems rather than style.
Gstalt psychology
Humans innately perceive things as a whole so that what is perceived is complete and comprehensible.
________ is the design theory that places emphasis on providing simple rational design solutions to design problems without lots of decoration.
Functionalism
Design theory that uses scientific variables and/ or observation.
Environmental Design Research
4 grouping concepts that are frequently used in creating optical illusions. Part of the design theories of perception and Gestalt psychology.
Closure
Continuity
Simplicity
Figure-ground
Simultaneous contrast
Phenomenon in which the same color appears to change depending on the background color.
The concept of ______ states that humans perceive separate elements in a field as a ______
Grouping
Group
Several means in which humans visually group objects in a field.
Proximity
Similarity
Direction
Context
_________ is the tendency to perceive incomplete forms as complete.
Closure
________ is the tendency to see an object continuing in a straight path rather than making a sharp turn.
Continuity
x
__________ as part of Gstalt psychology states that. People prefer the simplest most stable organization of forms or the overall structure of elements in the visual field rather than individual parts
Simplicity
_________ describes the way people distinguish a form from its surroundings.
Figure-ground
This type of perception can be used by designers to create negative space
Figure-ground
4 Types of perceptual consistency
Shape
Size
Lightness
Color
Regardless of constant lighting / angle etc. changes, a person sees an object or space essentially the same.
Perceptual constancy
What is binocular disparity?
Difference in what each eye sees. The brain puts the images together.
6 ways humans perceive depth
Overlapping (Interposition) Linear perspective Distant objects appear hazy (Atmospheric perspective) Texture Perspective Size Clues Closeness of objects to the horizon line
What is cue inconsistency?
People gather information about their surroundings using all of their senses. If there are inconsistencies with the senses then something may appear off in the surrounding environment.
What are 5 types perceptual theories?
Grouping Perceptual Constancy Depth perception Cue inconsistency Social and cultural influences
____________ is a perception theory that reflects Social ideas of status, cultural pasts, etc
Social and cultural influences
Social and cultural beliefs that often influence interior design.
Political conditions
Economic conditions
Cultural attitude (cultural views of religion, leisure, shared values)
Symbolism (what is a persons perspective of home)
Regionalism (reflects local geographic area)
What are 8 common issues of preliminary conceptual design ideas that can be shown as sketches, written down, or developed as material samples?
plan arrangement space relationships components of interior design Details Lighting and color Materials Furniture Accessories
What are six types of plan arrangements used as a component of a design concept
Open Linear Axial Centralized Grid Clustered
This type of plan typically use where a display of hierarchy through separate spaces is not one where function requires a free flow of people, materials, or ideas or where individual functional areas change frequently
Open plan arrangement
This type of arrangement concept combines some of the features a centralized concept and a linear concept
Axial
This type of plan arrangement aligns spaces on a significant feature or features
Axial
This type of plan arrangement uses a single dominant space with secondary spaces grouped around it
Centralized
Useful for the central workflow
This type of plan arrangement is a useful way to organize many different types and sizes of spaces while maintaining an overall regularity and pattern
Grid concept
This type of plan or arrangement organizes spaces based on proximity to each other
Clustered concept. Similar to the network Workflow
What are four types of Space adjacencies
Adjacent spaces
Overlapping spaces
Sharing a common space
Space with in a space
Vertical planes that are the primary space dividing element interior design
Walls
What if 5 components of interior design that could be used during the design concept phase
Walls Or vertical planes
Ceilings (Provide The designer with a tool to manipulate the quality space)
Floors (Can define a space and direct movement)
Steps (Can create a special space)
Doors (Important point of transition between rooms or spaces)
Glazing ( Can establish separation and connection simultaneously) Bring in daylight
What 3 purposes do details serve?
Fit larger components together (cove ceiling)
Solve functional problem (horizontal workspace)
Enhance design intent (avoid cue inconsistencies)
What is one the most emotionally charged components of any design
Color
3adjacency needs
People, products, and information
