Basics Interior Architecture: Elements / Objects

 "Basics Interior Architecture: Elements and Objects" explores the manner in which an interior space can be manipulated through the precise placement of forms. This title describes the principles underpinning the design of objects, and their placement within the interior space. It also discusses the influence that this has upon the character and perception of the space; providing focus or rhythm, controlling visual movement or expressing scale. "Basics Interior Architecture: Elements and Objects" teaches how the manipulation of objects and elements can create interior spaces of distinctive and apposite qualities.

This book introduces different aspects of the organisation of interior space via dedicated chapters for each topic.Each chapter provides clear examples from leading architectural practices, annotated to explain the reasons behind the design choices made. A careful analysis of the host buildingwill reveal a number of key characteristicsand particular properties, all of whichhave an influence upon the significant strategic arrangement of the interior space.These discoveries may be as simple as an acknowledgement of the sun’s path,the main direction of the circulationor the structural system of the building.
 

The designer can analyse the nature, characteristics and qualities of the existing building. This examination can then help to inform the redesign of the spaces.The elegance and rhythm of an existing building can provide the organisational impetus for the redesign of the interior.

The 11th Architecture Biennale,entitled ‘Out There: ArchitectureBeyond Building’, questioned the relationship between building and architecture.
