Interior designer apartments and offices

Also, more and more firms are willing to invest in the design of their offices, in the convenience of production facilities. That is why the profession of interior designer is very popular and in demand.

Terminology

In the Dictionary of design is defined as "the design of things, cars, interiors, based on a combination of the principles of convenience, efficiency and beauty." The term "designer" is derived from the Latin designare - show, scheduled to do.

Interior - is a relatively closed and organized in a functional and aesthetically the space inside the building. The interior surface of enclosing up the room (floor, ceiling, walls), equipment, furnishings and decoration.

By definition, the International Association of Interior Designers (IIDA), a professional interior designer - a specialist with relevant education and experience, and who has passed the appropriate exams, professional activity which is aimed at improving the functionality and quality of the interior level.

According to experts, if a humorous look at the part of the process of creating the interior, you have identified the following alignment of duties involved in this case are parties:

 Customer - is funding the process of trying to achieve harmony with the final result with their inner world and the contents of the purse.

 Architect - tries to lead the layout of the object in line with the facade painted by him and his understanding of the word "good."

Builder - commits an act of materialization invented by the architect. As a complete and accurate implementation of the invented is still impossible, the materialization is done very roughly.

Designer - man, correcting what drew architect and builder built. He's trying to achieve that same harmony of the inner world of the customer that is built for him, paying no longer focus on the contents of the purse, because the money in it anyway no longer exists, as well as their creative ambitions, because of the ambitions of the money is not paid.

It follows from the foregoing that the modern interior designer does not work for the sake of art, and for a specific customer. Therefore, its objectives are ultimately determined by the interests and demands of customers, rather than their own impulses of creative nature.

Typically, a professional should be well-versed specialist in sculpture, painting, drawing techniques, base composition, ergonomics and even psychology. Professionally important qualities for a designer are artistic imagination, spatial and creative thinking, communication skills.

The designer must have a good draw and work in computer programs such as PhotoShop and 3D-Max - the minimum. It is desirable to hold still and graphics software for architects - Autodesk VIZ and ArchiCAD.

What are the main stages of work interior designer?

First, he needs to "organize the space", all carefully and competently plan: measurements, zoning space - the foundation of any design project. Then he performs sketches - drawings by hand or computer models of the future interior.

While working on the sketches, the designer takes into account specific technical parameters of the premises, outlines what materials are required for the realization of his ideas. Ready Plan is agreed with the client and often repeatedly reworked.

Presenting the overall look of the room and furnishings, designer solves the following problem: how it technically feasible. And, suddenly, he becomes an engineer-architect: do the drawings indicate the technical details of the project, ranging from measurement and ending descriptions of finishing materials: cubic capacity, zoning, scale buildings - all this is reflected in the project. Plus a working knowledge of electrical, ventilation, plumbing systems, an idea of ​​the features of the acoustic conditions for a home theater.

This profession is focused primarily on the identification of individual customers. According to statistics, an interior designer spends on communication with the customer, on average 70% of their working time - this is the approach defined standards of the profession International Interior Designers Association (IIDA).

The interaction between designer and client to create not just a flat, house, office, and living environment. The new interior has to be a mother at the design stage, but at the same time, he must be better than is currently the client, because it makes a true professional.

As already mentioned, the designer creates his works are not for art's sake, and for the specific purposes of the customer. This means that he must clearly understand what are the needs of the customer, to have a constructive view of the world, be responsive to changes in it, not to withdraw into themselves and their own creativity.

We can say that this profession for extroverts, because it is the interests and needs of other people ultimately determine the objectives of any designer.

It would be naive to think that the designer is busy with a "creativity." He is not only an artist, he - the manager of a design project. And is responsible for everything: signs an agreement, developing a number of options to delve into all the customer's comments (not always competent) to settle conflicts, selects performers. Therefore, to be creative in the full sense of the word - a little.

Must possess managerial qualities, guided by the market, understand the legal issues. After all, there are disputes: the customer is not always right.

How to become a designer?

Of course, there is a general educational standard of the specialty "Design" and the basic discipline, but training programs, for example, fashion designers and interior designers vary considerably. Are fundamentally different and institute training programs.
