1. Structural and Decorative Design

2. Design  The selecting and organizing of materials to fill a function.  Components of Design  Elements of Design: space, form and shape, line, texture, and color  Principles of design: Balance, rhythm, emphasis, scale and proportion,  The Use of these 2 components plus Unity and Variety will create a Harmonious Design

3. 4 factors that influence Design  Function—What purpose will the object serve?  Materials—Of what will the object be made?  Technology—How will the object be made?  Style—Is the object appropriate and appealing to the user?

4. Form Follows Function  The form of an object or space should reflect its intended use and fulfill its intended function.  The materials selected for a design must be suitable for the intended design. Chair assignment

10. 2 Types of Design  Structural Design  The design is an integral part of the structure itself.  The structure and design cannot be separated.  The simplest design.

11. Decorative Design  Involves the application of color, line, texture, or pattern to an object.  Ornamentation added to enhance the basic structural design.

12. For Decorative design to be successful it must:  Be suitable for the intended function.  Appropriate for the materials that are being used.  Appropriate in size and amount to the object in which it is found.  Used to emphasize the structure.

13. Action Step… “ Learning without thinking is labor lost; thinking without learning is dangerous.” -Confucius #5 In your Study Guide:   Select an object/furnishing (NOT A ROOM) within your surroundings.   Decide if it fits under the structural or decorative design category.   Sketch and write a paragraph explaining your justification for placing the object in that design category. (You have 8 minutes)

32. Action Step….   #6 in your study guide: Follow the instructions for each box. 7. DESIGN PATTERNS  Naturalistic Design  Stylized / Conventional  Geometric Design  Abstract Design

33. NATURALISTIC DESIGN  REPRODUCTIONS OF NATURAL SUBJECTS (FROM NATURE). (FROM NATURE).  Looks almost real. Label your design A

35. STYLIZED (CONVENTIONAL)  REPRESENTATION THAT SIMPLIFIES THE SUBJECT, EMPHASIZING ITS BASIC QUALITIES. Label your design B

37. ABSTRACT DESIGN  UNRECOGNIZEABLE AS A SPECIFIC OBJECT OR THING.  Used in more modern and contemporary designs. Label your design D

39. GEOMETRIC DESIGN GEOMETRIC DESIGN  MADE WITH THE USE OF LINES, STRIPES, PLAIDS, AND GEOMETRIC SHAPES.  USED IN MODERN AND TRADITIONAL DESIGNS. Label your design C

42. Use of Patterns  Too much pattern can make a room feel too busy and uncomfortable.  A room without pattern may be too stark or lacking in character.  Successful Pattern combinations feel comfortable.  Incompatible Pattern combinations create an uneasy feeling.

43. To achieve a feeling of correctness in Combining Patterns:  Maintain a consistent design pattern mood.  Formal naturalistic will not work with geometric.  Evaluate the placement of emphasis and avoid too many patterns in one area.  1 bold pattern on a large area works better than 2-3 smaller patterns scattered throughout the room.  The size of the pattern should correspond to the size of the room and its windows.  Small scale patterns often used in cozy rooms  Large scale patterns for spacious rooms. These make a room appear smaller.  Identify the color scheme of the pattern  Use a variety of sizes of patterns to create interest.

51. DESIGN a CHAIR (assignment #2)  The basic function is given to you, but you decide how and where the chair will be used.  The materials used for your chair are up to you.  Brainstorm the design process

52. Design your own Chair On the day of your test you will have a mini model of a chair that you designed. The presentation of your chair will be a large part of your test along with a short written test.

54. Student Examples

59. Chair Design and Model DUE: _______________________________ The basic function of a chair is a place to sit in, but the designer decides what the chair will look like, how it will be completely used, who will use it, and where it will be used. After you have gone through the first part of the design process and brainstormed these concepts, you will make an actual scaled down model of your chair design. This will be presented to the class on Unit 1 Test Day. A.The Design 1.What is the complete function of your chair? 2.What feeling is created when sitting in your chair? 3.Where will this chair be placed or used? 4.Who will use this chair? 5.What do you envision the materials of the REAL chair to be made of? 6.What style will the chair be? (formal, informal, modern, traditional, contemporary, etc…) 7.Explain the structural part of the chair: 8.Explain the decorative part of the chair: B.Sketch your chair design idea: C.What materials will you be using to make your scaled down model? D.Final evaluation of your model (after you have created it). Explain how the final chair turned out? What design challenges did you have? What did you change or fix from the brainstorming process? Would you want to sit in this chair or have it in your interior space?
