4.00 Interior Vocab
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Concept statement: | A written vision of where to focus a design solution for a client. Appeals to the clients point of reference and gives the designer boundaries. Lays the groundwork for the visual components of the design. |
| Active listening: | The act of fully concentrating on what is being said rather than just passively “hearing” the message of the speaker. |
| Presentation board: | Used by interior designers, but also by architects, graphic designers and concept artists in order to present their ideas, drawings and designs to clients, co-workers or their boss. |
| 3D model: | A scaled representation of a building or interior with length, width, and depth. Can be physical or digital. |
| Non-verbal communication: | Behavior and elements of speech aside from the words themselves that transmit meaning. |
| Non-verbal communication: | Non-verbal communication includes pitch, speed, tone and volume of voice, gestures and facial expressions, body posture, stance, and proximity to the listener, eye movements and contact, and dress and appearance. |
| Verbal communication: | The sharing of information between individuals by using speech. |
| Written communication: | Involves any type of message that makes use of the written word. Examples: e-mail, letters, proposals, brochures. |
| Interior design process: | A method that interior designers use for organizing their work, guiding their actions, and finalizing their decisions when working with team members and clients. |
| Interior design process: | Although the phases of the process are linear, it is not unusual for a designer to revisit them several times as a client changes his or her mind or a design is further refined. |
| Pre-design: | Takes place before the interior design process begins. Designer interviews the client and asks questions to understand client’s needs. If the designer’s skills match and the client agrees a contract is signed so the interior design process can begin. |
| Programming: | Phase 1 of the interior design process. The designer clearly identifies the client’s design problem, current situation, and future needs. Involves fact-finding, client interviews, on-site analysis of the project and creation of the client program. |
| Programming: | By the end the designer should fully understand the needs of the project in detail and the client should verify accuracy before the designer proceeds to the next phase. |
| Client program: | A document that outlines the client project-functions, specific need requirements in each space, issues, and current status. |
| Client program: | Becomes a checklist-type document that helps the designer understand the client’s situation and needs, and ensures inclusion of every requirement in the final design solution. |
| Schematic design: | Phase 2 of the interior design process. A brainstorming or “what-if” phase that is creative and innovative. The designer explores and generates multiple ideas and multiple-design solutions based on the client program. |
| Schematic design: | Designer uses schematics- quick drawings to help envision floor plants, spaces, and more. Includes concept development, preliminary space planning, drawings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and budget projection. |
| Schematic design: | By the end of this phase the designer will have explored multiple design solutions and will provide the client with enough information to be able to select a proposed solution. |
| Design development: | Phase 3 of the interior design process. The refinement of designs and decisions the designer and client made. Phase of critical analysis, problem solving, and creativity. |
| Design development: | Phase includes floor plan revisions, evaluation of systems details, refinement of material and furnishings, development of interior architectural detailing, refinement of budget, and client sign-offs. |
| Contract documents: | Phase 4 of the interior design process. Involves preparing formal documents for the construction and installation of design. These documents are the legally binding document. |
| Contract documents: | Continue with refinement of budget, development of working drawings, specification book, bidding with contractor, and client approvals. |
| Contract administration: | Phase 5 of the interior design process. The design comes to life. Designer schedules and monitors construction work and costs. |
| Move-in and post occupancy: | Phase 6 of the interior design process. Designers sets a move-in date and schedules furniture and equipment delivery. Designer needs to assess the client’s satisfaction. |
