An Inquiry into Application of Materials in Interior Design
Choosing the suitable material for the true purpose is a critical--and often overlooked--aspect in the larger context of designing buildings and interior spaces. When specified and executed properly, materials support and enhance a project’s overall theme and impart interior space with a solid foundation that balances visual poetry and functionality.
Directed Research Project
ABSTRACT: The appearance of material as application in a space of permanence, is based on the power of its narratives, a concept of perception, as impermanence in a built-form. Materiality drives Function and Human experience in a space. Materiality is “one whole of
parts of different identities” to articulate the essence
of a space. This research is an attempt to qualify
various parts of a spatial system to understand the
possibility, potential and manifestation of materials and meanings in a space.
The behaviour of materials in their given context dictates the transcendental quality of the space. With
this understanding, the research approaches the
physical realities and manifestation a as process of
Material Application in Interior practices.
the theoretical framework is used to understand Design and Materiality as a synthesis in museum design process.
ABSTRACT: The research idea is centralized on the impact of material application in hospitality spaces. Design is a demonstration of thoughts in space, and material
is an expression of the design language, providing a tangible identity to the design. Material and design
are interdependent and inseparable entities. The research is carried forward to study the factors that
influence the material configuration in space.
Elemental composition and material application
manipulate the user’s perception and engage them
to make them experience the realm that possibly links
culture, art, and science through material expression.
The experience in the space will help them analyse and influence the approach toward the space.
Materials provide an identity to the built form by forming a connection with the program. Culture
acts as an interface between the program and the material, establishing a connection with the user. The study looks to examine this relationship.
ABSTRACT:
Space is not bound to any material but adds substance to the underlying
framework by spatially organizing itself following construction principles.
The emergence of novel materials and the growth of technology and
procedures in conventional structure rehearsals further expand the role
of development in making and experiencing the constructed climate.
Thus, material purpose and application play a role in arranging designs
to tell a story. Characteristics inherited by the materials define material’s
expressiveness.
Materials impart meaning by forming an inquiry of materials in an enclosed
space. Understanding the material application in space with subjectivity,
objectivity, and the technical aspects corresponds to materiality and
generates precise meaning. Accordingly, the wholeness of space characterizes the material expression caused by functional needs and
the perception caused by worldly factors.
ABSTRACT: The material acts as an element, adding dimensionality
to the space, reinforcing a narrative, and symbolising an idea. Users consciously or subconsciously respond to materials in spatial composition. Material is used as an element to generate a meaning which symbolises a
collective memory of the individualised past. The way different materials react with one another in three-dimensional composition generates a character of uniqueness & a lasting sense of identity. The study aims to understand the material as an added dimensional element as it reinforces a narrative and symbolises an idea. The theme establishes a framework to derive factors contributing in achieving Indian identity. This will allow us to derive the attributes and values
generated for the experience of a space. To understand
the designer’s intent in re-actualising the past and abstracting it in contemporary scenarios.
