TA: Srushti MehtaOrnare: Ornamentation and its Articulation in Interior Realm
The studio is an attempt to formulate, resolve, and apply ornamentation as a primary approach to interior design space. Through eras, Ornamentation has been represented as a separate entity of perception, association, and symbolism with respect to material, patterns, and form. In the twenty-first century, material culture has become a contemporary tool to concretize ornamentation with the use of advancing technologies for the construction, fabrication, and production of interior design elements. The ornament has resurfaced with its new functional, structural, and aesthetical meaning.
This studio intends to utilize the contemporary potential of ornamentation in the creation of interior spaces and their elements. The studio will be conducted by reinterpreting the tools, techniques, methods, and approaches to create ornamentation that executes new space formation concepts.
The students will develop the ability to experiment, explore, and generate methods to fabricate an interior design project that represents the visual and tactile outcomes of new-age ornamentation. A design process will be formed by redefining ornamentation as an approach for the given context through scaled outcomes. These Challenges will synthesize interior design issues like space planning, organization, user, and services with various spatial complexities.
