Q

_________ describes the way people distinguish a form from its surroundings.

A

Figure-ground

17
Q

This type of perception can be used by designers to create negative space

A

Figure-ground

18
Q

4 Types of perceptual consistency

A

Shape
Size
Lightness
Color

19
Q

Regardless of constant lighting / angle etc. changes, a person sees an object or space essentially the same.

A

Perceptual constancy

20
Q

What is binocular disparity?

A

Difference in what each eye sees. The brain puts the images together.

21
Q

6 ways humans perceive depth

A 
Overlapping (Interposition)
Linear perspective
Distant objects appear hazy (Atmospheric perspective)
Texture Perspective
Size Clues
Closeness of objects to the horizon line
22
Q

What is cue inconsistency?

A

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.

23
Q

What are 5 types perceptual theories?

A 
Grouping
Perceptual Constancy
Depth perception
Cue inconsistency
Social and cultural influences
24
Q

____________ is a perception theory that reflects Social ideas of status, cultural pasts, etc

A

Social and cultural influences

25
Q

Social and cultural beliefs that often influence interior design.

A

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)

26
Q

What are 8 common issues of preliminary conceptual design ideas that can be shown as sketches, written down, or developed as material samples?

A 
plan arrangement
space relationships
components of interior design
Details
Lighting and color
Materials
Furniture
Accessories
27
Q

What are six types of plan arrangements used as a component of a design concept

A 
Open
Linear
Axial
Centralized
Grid
Clustered
28
Q

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

A

Open plan arrangement

29
Q

This type of arrangement concept combines some of the features a centralized concept and a linear concept

A

Axial

30
Q

This type of plan arrangement aligns spaces on a significant feature or features

A

Axial

31
Q

This type of plan arrangement uses a single dominant space with secondary spaces grouped around it

A

Centralized

Useful for the central workflow

32
Q

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

A

Grid concept

33
Q

This type of plan or arrangement organizes spaces based on proximity to each other

A

Clustered concept. Similar to the network Workflow

34
Q

What are four types of Space adjacencies

A

Adjacent spaces
Overlapping spaces
Sharing a common space
Space with in a space

35
Q

Vertical planes that are the primary space dividing element interior design

A

Walls

36
Q

What if 5 components of interior design that could be used during the design concept phase

A

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

37
Q

What 3 purposes do details serve?

A

Fit larger components together (cove ceiling)
Solve functional problem (horizontal workspace)
Enhance design intent (avoid cue inconsistencies)

38
Q

What is one the most emotionally charged components of any design

A

Color

39
Q

3adjacency needs

A

People, products, and information
