ID 3311 Final - Fall 2011

Solution Statement

            When choosing materials for the Personal Financial Planning Red to Black office suite project, the design to make the clients feel comfortable and safe to discuss very personal problems and needs was established. Also a Starbucks, coffee bar concept was established. These concepts are seen through the different colors and textures in the selected wood, carpet, countertops, and furniture selected. Each material gives a comfortable feel that is appropriate for a high traffic environment that has the necessity of durability and sustainability. In addition, the budget for this project is low and so cheaper furniture and materials are needed in order to stay within this budget.

What I have learned from this course



            From my class that teaches about interior materials, I have learned a lot about interior design. I have learned about different fibers and yarns, fabric structure and designs, color application, finishing and treatment, performance testing, and fabric applications. Along with those, I also learned about countertops, backsplashes, flooring, walls, and ceilings. To learn more about and better understand these topics we went on many field trips to different places which were so cool and interesting.

            When learning about fibers and yarn, we learned about natural fibers, man-made fibers, staple fibers, and filament fibers. There are two types of natural fibers: cellulosic fibers and protein fibers. Cellulosic fibers are fibers from plants such as cotton and linen. Protein fibers are from animals such as silk and wool. In man-made fibers there are two types: natural man-made fibers and synthetic man-made fibers. For fabric structure, there are three types of basic weaves: plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave. There are many different names of designs that use these three basic weaves.

            There are two ways to applying color: printing and dyeing. Printing and dyeing both have different methods that can create different designs and patterns onto fabric. Finishing and treatment includes everything that is done to a fabric once it is produced. After that the material usually has to go through performance testing that is evaluated according to durability, color fastness, and flammability. Fabric applications include seating, window covering, wall covering, panel systems, floor covering, and fiber-based art.

            Countertops, backsplashes, flooring, walls, and ceilings are all things that complete a design in a room. There are many types of stone, natural and man-made, that can be used for countertops. Many different kinds of tiles can be used to make backsplashes such as glass. There are several kinds of flooring that can be used. These include carpet, wood flooring, and tiles. There are many different ways to decorate a wall such as paint, glass block, wall coverings, concrete, and stone. Ceilings are also important in designing a room but sometimes designers neglect the ceiling.

            Going on the field trips made this course more fun and interesting. It really tied everything together and made the topics we learned about easier to understand. I have a much better idea about interior design and how to apply materials. This course was a great learning experience for me and I thank my teacher, Professor Gaines, for that.
