Throughout
the unit on experiences within an interior space, I began to learn to look past
just the materials but more into what the materials did for the space. Lighting,
artificial or natural, does more for a space than just making it brighter. It
can cause a room to feel more calm, it can create certain shadows in a
particular space, and it can help reveal more materials being used in the
space. An experience can be created through the light and materials because of
the way they work together to give off a particular vibe and make a person feel
a certain way. Stone can make a place feel grand and elegant while wood can
make a place feel cozy to a person.
More
than just materials, I learned that the way people place themselves, near or
far from another, give a sign as to how they interact in a space. This is
mainly talked about using the word proxemics.
If people are within a certain amount of space, and are close together, it invites
a person to be social and to make conversation. If people were to place themselves
further away, they do not want people to be within their personal space.
Studying the way people behave in a space can also be done by looking at the
room they are in.
Looking
at a space like the interior included, it is able to be seen how people should
behave within. This is a grand foyer within a house. When one first walks in, their
eyes are drawn up the steps because of the big steps. There is no chair or
seating areas within the foyer, this shows that people do not sit in this room.
This room is for the entrance and the seating that is within the back portion
of the house invites a person in the next room to sit and be social. The
materials in the space are a smooth, finished, creatively decorated flooring
that provides elegance and sets the mood for the remainder of the house. The
designed ceiling with trim and the mix of wood (stairs) and stone flooring
provides a cozy but grand home.
