Virtual Interior Design Consulting for USA’s Colonial Revival Homes

Francis Ching notes in Interior Design Illustrated three fundamental phases of the design process: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Ching claims that analysis is defined and understood the problem; synthesis is the formulation of alternative solutions; and evaluation is a critical appraisal of the strengths and shortcomings of the suggested solutions Fascinatingly,plus sound and animation can be included in multimedia presentations. ontract

design practitioners from many fields apply these three fundamental phases of design process. Many times, industrial designers, graphic designers, exhibition designers, and others follow a similar method Of course, professional practice and ultimate result differ greatly throughout the design fields. Consequently, real interior design processes and project phases preparation. usually involving buying agents for bid and appropriate agencies for plan check

are more different and more complex than the three fundamental stages would suggest.Writing in Problem Seeking, Peña, Parshall, and Kelly point out that the first three project stages actually constitute the design process. They say "programming is part of the total design process but is separate from schematic design." The second and third phases of

This chapter is meant as a study of the drIn depth investigation and documenting of needs, requirements, goals and objectives as well as an exploration of the three phases of the design process noted by Peña, Parshall, Kelly, and others Can include: identification of space and adjacency requirements analysis; asset

assessment; specialized needs assessments; codes and accessibility study and identification of conceptual and theme difficulties. Along with study of architectural or site parameters also included study of budget and scheduling Initial project conceptual, spatial, architectural, and technical design. Often using relationship diagrams; matrices; bubble diagrams; blocking

diagrams stacking plans; and fit plans, includes basic space planning. Along with basic furniture, fittings, and equipment layout/design. Development of thematic and conceptual issues in projects. Studies on color, textiles, and finishes. preliminary coding review Initial preliminary budgetary data improvement of the last designed result includes design of interior

Also covers color, materials, and finish choice. Design and specification of furniture, fixtures, and tools; also, improvement of financial and scheduling data drafting, as well as compliance to general contractor(s) Mostly written and spoken, communication with

Might include possible examination of invoicing and payment as well as explanation and interpretation of drawings. Punctuation list preparation May include a synchronization of moves.Usually found in a programming report, most typically textual material is compiled. Often contains early fit studies and some

the project. This results from differences in project kind and scale as well as from the client's (or end user's) given information quantity and quality. Sometimes clients bring de-materials studies and study models. Presentation may also incorporate graphic elements.Until all the data is in, the experienced, creative designer resists preconceived answers and the need to

synthesize by not expressing opinion. He waits to sketch until he is sure the customer has an issue. Good design is precursor for programming. Kelly, Parshall, and Peña (1987 Programming, sometimes referred to as predesign or strategic planning, is thorough study of the client's (or end user's) wants, requirements, goals, budgetary factors, and assets as well as analysis of architectural or site aspects and restrictions. While architectural or site

parameters are generally expressed graphically by orthographic projection, information obtained about the demands and requirements of the user is often written form. Early on in design, these two different kinds of communication verbal and graphic have to be brought together Some companies assign programmers to work on projects then pass them over to designers. Project managers and/or designers often also work on project programming and

hereafter keep on working on the design or management of the project. Given the differences between programming (analysis) and design (synthesis), one could argue that programmers and designers are independent specialists. Many companies and designers, however, decide not to divide these disciplines or do so just for very big or programming-intensive projects. Addressing conceptual and thematic concerns with mixed media, sketches, and diagrams.
