This chapter examines the shifting landscape of disciplines and professions, with particular focus towards “Spatial and Experience Design.” In spite of trends and increasing examples of the erosion and overlapping of disciplinary and professional boundaries, there is a need for some sort of disciplinary and professional definition. There needs to be a body of knowledge and skills defined and practiced and routes to circumvent them. This is especially relevant in a world of inter-, multi-, and trans-disciplinary work and comprehensive creative practices. The chapter examines core aspects of spatial/interior design and how this may intersect with other related disciplines and practices. An articulated interior urbanism creates clear areas of contribution from “interior” designers within the city. The chapter explores these cross-fertilizations through the curricular use of intensive design workshops (often of one-week duration) with a singular focus of the student's attention; selected student works from two such workshops at Politecnico di Milano are included.

This Chapter glances at the shifting landscape of disciplines and professions, with particular focus towards “Interior Design.” In spite of trends and increasing examples of the erosion and overlapping of disciplinary and professional boundaries, ironically or not, there remains the need for some sort of definition; in other words, there needs to be a body of knowledge and skills defined and practiced. This is especially relevant in a world of inter-, multi-, and trans-disciplinary work and comprehensive creative practices. After a very quick look at “Environmental Design” – or the design of environments and experiences – the paper spends a bit more time examining possible core aspects of Interior Design while promoting its expanded field. An articulated interior urbanism creates clear areas of contribution from the interior designers within the city. Additionally, the chapter explores the curricular use of intensive design workshops with a singular focus of the student's attention; selected student work from Politecnico di Milano is included.

The problems faced by the children of Banjarmasin Al-Ashr Orphanage are almost the same as those faced by other orphanages in the city of Banjarmasin, namely, lack funds and personnel or volunteers who help and guide orphanage children to develop their skills and creativity as a provision in carrying out life after the completion of the orphanage. The purpose of this community service program is to make the children of the Al-Ashr Orphanage have a strong and more independent motivation by providing them with the knowledge and skills they will use to prepare themselves for the future. While the target of this activity is to make the children of the Al-Ashr Orphanage have design skills in making invitations, brochures, and banners as well as online businesses. The method used is training and guidance, where training is carried out with presentations and practices.

The city of Cairo - since the beginning of the third millennium - has witnessed a constructional expansion of new cities for people of class A to live within gated communities, which provide luxury and safety. This research aims to identify the tangible and intangible needs from the occupants’ and the interior designer’s perspective, due to the diversity of these needs. The identification of these demands may help to clarify the requirements provided by the large construction companies, which will highlight the role of the interior designer in the design process of the residential units.Keywords: Interior design in Egypt, Contemporary Egyptian residences, Egyptian residential needs, Gated communities in Egypt.eISSN: 2398-4287© 2019.

Beautiful City

The city of Surabaya is the second largest city after Jakarta and of course is inhabited by millions of peoplewho produce trash every day, especially plastic waste which is mostly produced from used food containers,plastic cups, straws and plastic bags. Various methods are used by the government to overcome this problemso that the city of Surabaya can become a cleaner and more beautiful city. One community in Surabaya calledthe Waste Recycling Project is a caring community, focusing on the waste recycling activities in Surabaya.The Waste Recycling Project community is able to change the form (transformation) of waste into functionalgoods. This encourages this community to have a place where it can be developed into a community tourismdestination with a Human Centered Design approach where people and tourists can come to visit the WasteRecycling Project to tour and learn together about plastic waste management. This interior design is focusedon designing a community place that can accommodate gathering activities for service learning, space forplastic waste recycle workshop activities, and as a forum for aspirations of creative ideas as well as a gatheringplace for people who have interests and concerns for the surrounding environment.

People interact with surfaces in interior spaces, where a huge part of their life lasts. Many of these surfaces which surrounds the interior spaces are covering or coating materials in various textures and shapes. Materials used in interior surfaces are applied for various purposes. Protection, insulation or decoration can be considered as the main objective of these purposes.This study aims to research what kind of polymer based surface materials are used by interior designers and their reasons, frequency and area of use.  For this reason, the study is composed on a questionnaire. The questions are prepared by summarizing the polymer based material information obtained from the literature. The questionnaire participants are interior designers who are actively working in the field. With this group, a survey on selection of plastic materials has been made. Survey results are explained in the findings. The last chapter includes the conclusions and recommendations of the study.Keywords: Interior design, surface materials, plastics, polymers.

Abstract The Casa da Nostalgia, or “Nostalgic house,” in the Taipa area of the special administrative region of Macau, is a museum devoted to temporary exhibitions reconstructing everyday life in the city, especially in the epoch of Portuguese ruling. Just opposite the museum, on the other side of a large pond, a giant casino, the Venetian Macau, reproduces Venice both with its external architecture and its interior design. The article analyzes these two urban settings in order to develop a semiotic understanding of as many ways of symbolically reconstructing cities. On the one hand, cities can be reconstructed in a nostalgic form; the essay inquires on the origin and the consequences of urban nostalgia; on the other hand, cities can be reconstructed as ersatz. The article further investigates the dialectics between predominantly temporal or prevailingly spatial urban reconstructions, with reference to the socio-cultural dynamics that have changed Macau in the last decades. The article concludes with the methodological suggestion that the study of urban re-constructions requires the combined efforts of several disciplines, jointly investigating why, how, but also to what effect cities are re-built.
