Description

This module will explore how materials create an ambience and provide texture or substance to architecture. Interior case studies that illustrate the innovative use of materials will provide learners with opportunities and inspiration for design. This module will also illustrate how the structural skeleton and the form of a building, the materials that hold it in place, its texture, tissue and skin, shape its architectural form. Specifically, the module will explore how these elements can be combined and crafted to create atmosphere. Arguably, the integrity of good design comes from a deep understanding of how to apply materiality from different contexts and environments inventively in projects. This module will blend theoretical elements with practical and analytical tasks, survey exercises and site visits. Comprehensive material appraisal and technical studies will be combined with detailing, modelling and material texture and form studies.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Conduct a basic condition survey appraisal and report of an existing building or heritage building relevant to a design studio project.

Evaluate the variety, properties and typical usage of typical materials and finishes used in traditional and modern construction.

Differentiate between the application of inadequate and environmentally harmful versus high-quality materials, building products and finishes in terms of their maintenance, lifecycle and sustainability.

Define the properties of selected materials and finishes in terms of their structure and mechanics, statics, strength, texture, colour and impact of light.

Describe the sensory and experiential aspects of assembled materials in a variety of interior settings and environments.

Conduct technical drafting, modelling, material studies and assembly exercises analyzing materials and assembly within variety of interior spaces.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Interior Materials and Detailing is is taught using a combination of lectures, presentations, theoretical discussion and practical based tutorials, workshops, projects, fieldwork and visits. Both individual and group work modes are utilised throughout.

Module Assessment Strategies

A series of continuous assessment typologies are utilised throughout the semester to examine both theoretical and practical aspects of the students' learning.

Presentations both individual and group;
Class tests/quizzes Moodle and class based;
Project work;
Reports.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat assessment will be dependent on failed components. This will be confirmed at formal exam boards.

Indicative Syllabus

The Module has four key themes:

Materials in design: sensory experience; texture; colour/light; form and finish. Modelling and crafting of material spaces (theory and practice).
Material Properties: mechanics, static, durability, elasticity, form, 3D Forms, plasticity, refinement, strength, texture, workability, specification and assembly, detailing – joinery (theory and practice).
Sustainability and lifecycle assessment: Exploration of the ecological and environmental impacts of a variety of materials (theory and practice).
Surveying: Internal condition survey techniques and introduction to building defect analysis (practical).
Building anatomy introduction: Practical exploration of the built anatomy of an existing building (linked to a studio project).

Required & Recommended Book List

Required Reading
2015-04-01 Construction and Detailing for Interior Design
ISBN 1780674775 ISBN-13 9781780674773

Construction and detailing are vital skills for all students studying interior design and architecture. This book is structured to encourage a diversity of techniques, allowing each student the means to find and put into practice the appropriate solution to fabrication issues and also to express their own personal aesthetic. The relation of existing building shells to the construction and detailing of new elements is also explored. Practical tips are given throughout the book, the roles of consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, and fabricators are explained, and theories of modern, sustainable approaches to interior detailing are discussed. The chapters are packed with professional, annotated drawings and explanatory photographs of techniques, materials, and tools. Through these, the principles of sound construction are explained. This second edition includes revised diagrams to increase clarity, more on sustainability, and more on services and lighting.
