PROCESS of
Interior
design
We determine which elements to use and how to arrange them into
patterns through the process of design.
Although presented as a linear series of steps, the design process is
more often a cyclical, iterative one in which a sequence of careful
Analysis,
Synthesis, and
Evaluation of available information, insights, and possible
solutions is repeated until a successful fit between what exists and
what is desired is achieved.

1.2 ……..vocabulary of interior design in terms of principles and
elements
•
Our ability to focus on and perceive detail is
restricted to
a fairly narrow cone of vision.
•
In surveying our visual field, our eyes
continually move, scan, focus, and refocus to
discover visual information.
•
To make sense of what we see , the brain
interprets the visual data gathered by our
eyes and assembles the information into
visual patterns that we can recognize and
understand.
•
The normal process of perception is utilitarian
and geared
toward recognition.

The point is the generator of all form.
As a point moves, it leaves a trace of
a line—the first dimension.
As the line shifts in direction, it
defines a plane—a two-dimensional
element. The plane, extended in a
direction oblique or perpendicular to
its surface, forms a threedimensional volume.
Point, line, plane, and volume—these
are the primary elements of form. All
visible forms are, in reality, three
dimensional.
In describing form, these primary
elements
differ according to their relative
dimensions of length, width, and
depth—a matter of proportion and Ar.A.Sivaraman , Asst professor ,
