We spend about 90% of our time indoors! We use the built environment, especially interior spaces, to reside, eat, sleep, bathe, meditate, teach, learn, work, exercise, shop, watch movies, have parties... The list is endless.
Whether it is a cup of coffee that we share with a special someone or the quiet space that we look for to cram for our exams, these spaces provide us with the right kind of environment to meet our needs. In fact, this need for the right kind of built and interior space has existed since pre-historic ages. From the cave drawings of early man to the planned architecture of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro to the smart-cities of modern India, our built environment has been a reflection of our existence and its evolution.
Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design, and Interior Decoration are all aspects of how we perceive, conceive, create, and adorn built spaces in order to provide the intended experience to the user. These built spaces may be permanent or temporary (exhibition events, sets). They may be for a residential project or for a commercial space and may involve the use of the most technologically advanced fixtures and fittings, or may use traditional features that have an old world charm, or use a combination of both! The permutations and combinations are plenty!
Architecture is a broad-based field concerned with the process of construction. It encompasses all aspects of planning, designing, and execution as per prescribed architectural laws and regulations. The focus here is more on the exterior design of a building. "Interior architectural designs" and "Interior Decoration & Styling" are specialized areas within architecture that focus on planning, designing, decorating, or re-purposing internal aspects of the structure to make it usable for the client in accordance with their functional and aesthetic needs.
Decorating a space means making it beautiful. Interior decoration and styling are more focused on the artistic and aesthetic aspects of the built-space. Design is all about making a space conducive to the various needs of the user. In this sense, design is much more than selecting the colors of the curtains and arranging furniture in a room. It involves an advanced understanding of the built environment and ergonomics.
Interior Architecture and Design is the knowledge of and the ability to intelligently apply design concepts to create functionally and structurally sound and aesthetically appealing interiors. It requires knowledge of concepts of design and technology such as construction, material, landscape, space design, conservation, services (such as plumbing, HVAC), and even adaptive re-use (reusing a building for a purpose other than that it was built for, such as palaces that have now been converted into luxury hotels). This is combined with an understanding of complex design processes, safety and sustainability, and the demographics of end users.
Interior and architectural designer is thus a specialist who –
• He understands the structural, hardware-related, and softer aspects of finishing and furnishing a space.
• Has a sound awareness of human history and anthropology, design theory and perspectives, materiality and technology, spatiality and styling to give the best interior space experience to the client or user.
