FORUM 1 (WEEK 1)

Q: Designing interiors is no longer only about materials, finishes, space planning and beautiful furniture; but it is now looking into how people work, integrating systems thinking with activities etc. What is your opinion?

As I know, interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structures to achieve a built interior environment that solves the customer's problems and links space with business strategies and goals. These solutions are practical, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. In addition, designers also need to be rely on others to realize the collective vision and ensure that it is meaningful, because all designs will have an impact in the community. So whenever a designer works on a project, the designer must ensure that all building materials, processes, and designs are comply with regulations. So its means that designers need to be aware the safety standards and guidelines in all aspects of design, construction and a built interior environment. In order to design out a better and safety for a space to solve the problems.
