PURPOSE The objective of this course is to make students understand the various aspects such as spatial quality, design vocabulary, design principles and design process related to the design of interiors. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES • Understanding various aspects such as form, scale, light, dimension, height, transitional elements etc. affecting interior space. • Understanding and applying design vocabulary such as Point, Line, shape, color, texture, area, mass, volume etc. • Understanding and applying design principles such as ratio, proportion, scale, balance, harmony, unity, variety, rhythm, emphasis. • Understanding the process involved in design including analysis, synthesis and evaluation. UNIT I DESIGN VOCABULARY Form – point, line, volume, shape, texture & color – in relation to light, pattern etc. and application of the same in designing interiors. UNIT II DESIGN PRINCIPLES Ratio, proportions – golden section, relationships, scale, Balance – symmetrical, radial, harmony, unity, variety, rhythm, emphasis. UNIT III INTERIOR SPACE Space –Interior space – spatial qualities: form, scale, outlook; structuring space with interior design elements; spatial form; spatial dimension – square, rectangle, curvilinear spaces; height of space, spatial transitions – openings within wall planes, doorways, windows, stairways. 2

UNIT IV ANTHROPOMETRICS Theory of standard dimension based on human figures for activities, functions, circulation, furniture design, spatial requirements etc. UNIT V DESIGN CONTROL Design process – Analysis, synthesis, design evaluation Design criteria – function and purpose, utility and economy, form and style Human factors - human dimensions, distance zones, activity relationships Fitting the space – plan arrangements, function, aesthetics REFERENCE BOOKS 1.
