About this lesson,
Welcome to the third lesson of the architectural exam preparation course! In this lesson, titled "Interior Design Solutions: Environmental and Housing Units," we'll delve deeper into the design of residential interior spaces.
Lesson Objectives
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
· Apply the performance-based system to interior design:
o Analysis of housing needs
o Definition of the performance of interior spaces
· Develop environmental and housing units within residential typologies:
o Characteristics and relationships between the different units
o Examples of spatial configurations
· Use the modular method to design the interior of residential buildings:
o Advantages of the modular method
o Phases of the modular design process
· Apply the knowledge acquired to a practical case study:
o Development of an interior design project for a specific residential typology
Lesson Plan
1. Performance requirement system:
o Presentation of the system and its principles
o Analysis of housing needs based on the type of user and context
o Definition of the performance of interior spaces in terms of comfort, functionality, safety and sustainability
2. Environmental and housing units:
o Definition of environmental unit and housing unit
o Characteristics and spatial relationships between the different units
o Examples of spatial configurations for different residential typologies
3. Modular method:
o Advantages of the modular method for interior design
o Phases of the modular design process: module definition, module aggregation, layout development
4. Case study:
o Development of an interior design project for a specific chosen residential typology, applying the performance requirement system and the modular method
o Discussion and evaluation of the projects carried out
5. Design Levels:
· Preliminary draft
· final project
· executive project
Conclusions
This third lesson will have provided you with the tools needed to approach the design of residential interior spaces rationally and functionally, taking into account user needs and spatial performance. The performance-based system and modular approach will allow you to develop innovative and customized solutions.
