Speaker Free Week

In order to be a successful interior designer, you must be able to meet all of the clients needs. Whether they are straightforward about them or not. We must be able to visually capture our idea in order to sell it and get the job. 

MATERIALISTIC  
Many people think interior design is a materialistic career path, however, interior designers contribute to society in a positive manner though. We influence the people who come into our spaces through color, acoustics, etc. If someone walks into a red cluttered room, chances are they will leave frusterated and unhappy. If someone walks into a light blue simplistic room, they will become calm and happy. The amount of people to be in one space is determined by different people and cultures. One of the worst forms of bad personal space is chairs set back to back and directly beside each other. Most people in American Culture will avoid sitting directly behind or beside a stranger. It is uncomfortable. 

VOCAB
Programming- The basic criteria for what the client wants.  
Historical Preservation- Saves the history within the design.
Remodel- Has not limits or restrictions, not trying to save anything important.
Work Triangle- In a kitchen, the circulation between the oven, sink, fridge.

RAMBLE
Our final reviews are on November 22, and Thanksgiving is on the 25, so we will not have class next week, a good thing, considering the heavy load I have in 171 and English 101. 


Final Thought
Interior designers must have a rational reason for every aspect of their work, it can't just be stylish.
