‘The (Re)Creative Workings of Existential Anguish in Interior Architecture’ aims to understand, and potentially incorporate, the unheimliche into interior-architectural design teaching. My inquiry addresses a paradoxical and disquieting force inside interiors that does not intimidate, but rather stimulates, the growth of imagination and creativity through design. How can one define the limits of one’s own certainties and how to overcome them even if they cause existential anguish? I will argue that existential anguish in interiors emerges in the tension between a particular belonging to existing affiliations and the fresh unfamiliarity of unexpected encounters. My inquiry complements prevailing values and norms in interior architecture as preset by society (identity, commodities, light, sight, and so on). Interior-architectural unheimlichkeit may engage in a disruptive design approach that triggers and allows the growth of other values, such as empathy, in interior architecture. The unheimliche may specify a small yet existential part of interior architecture as a discipline. How can existential anguish become a (re)creative agency in design teaching? It can be argued that a series of pedagogic experiments entitled ‘Onheimelijk Studios’, as collectively organized with and by student co-researchers at the St Lucas School of Architecture, Belgium, contributes to the research of existential anguish through the designing and making of interiors.

<p class="Abstract"><em>Modern architecture is an approach in the field of architectural engineering that is used as a design approach. The research is done to discuss the field of architectural engineering, especially in planning and design. The purpose of this research is to reveal the concept of planning and design on the application of modern architecture as a design method in Wedding Center building in Surakarta. The method used is a descriptive explorative method on the preparation of planning and modern architecture design methods on the building design. Modern architectural design method is used as a method of design approach on building Wedding Center in Surakarta in order to be able to provide a building image in accordance with the concept of Wedding Center building as a one-stop wedding service in Surakarta. The results and discussion of analysis in this research are qualitative analysis. The final concept formed from this research is a conceptual model and the physical design model of Wedding Center with Modern Architecture Approaches in Surakarta.</em></p>

Three Dimensional Models

Digital design technologies play a significant role in assisting the designer through conceptual architectural design. Computer supported design systems can generate various images at the early design phase and can contribute to seeking alternative architectural forms. Currently, different design approaches are being employed in the formation of architectural products. Examples of architecture that produce unusual forms are often encountered within unique conceptual approaches. The development of new design examples is supported by the digital production of forms, and three-dimensional models through varying geometric approaches. In this study, a design approach that uses computer aided architectural design to produce architectural forms will be suggested. This approach utilizes principles existing in the unique fractal dimension of elements based on a vocabulary relevant to a specific architectural language. By relying on the fractal dimension and features of an existing architectural pattern, this generative design approach supports creativity in the production of new forms. The proposed approach is evaluated as a creative tool in architectural design. The subject of architecture; buildings, spaces, surroundings, symbols of that particular society are also the elements of a meta-language which creates a fractal geometry based relation. It is possible to analyse this relation through a fractal geometry-based principle. In short, a fractal geometrical generative method is suggested. Also, recently-surfaced discussions about "Chaos Theory" and its effects on the design process via "Chaos and Self - Similarity" are studied. The significance of these different phenomena and disciplines upon architectural design are also studied for developing a possible creative tool.

Today, complex structure of the environment and the modern human life demands design professions acquire a broader perspective in conjunction with a more expanded, cross-boundary knowledge and skills. Particularly in the field of interior architecture, it is necessary to discuss the theme and the scenario while shaping the interiors where the majority of life takes place. This chapter focuses on the significance of theme and scenario development, presents a descriptive reading through the experiences in the Interior Architectural Design Studio, and in this sense, evaluates the discussion within the educational process. The studio addresses the issue by generating interior design ideas and scenarios that are searching for different ways of healthy living connected to nature and productivity within the city of Istanbul. Providing that “theme and scenario development” is considered as the starting point within interior design processes, it can be observed that established connections trigger creativity, interrelation between different scales and cross-boundary design.

First Cause

Based on three main causes this paper intends to motivate interior architecture designers to utilize color as coding tool to be more feasible. First cause: the potential capability of color as powerful element of interior architecture with distinguish relation between human and objects. Second cause: the rapid developments of our contemporary life, which generate enormous items need to be classified. Third cause: the domain of using color as means of coding requires more awareness in spite the existence of many studies and application covering many aspects of color uses and explaining the role color plays in our lives. The paper will investigate types of architecture spaces that more compatible with color coding concepts, likely to enforce interior architectural design like healthcare and educational facilities, industrial projects. The paper will expose to recognize case to confirm the necessity of using color as coding tool. Important recommendations and consideration will be indicated.

Potential Impact

Utilization of energy has boosted socio-economic development but meanwhile exacerbated the environmental problems. Offshore areas in China boast abundant solar energy resources. The present work explores the application of solar energy in offshore residential buildings and the ways for integration of solar collectors with the buildings to analyze the potential impact of installation of solar collectors on the design of offshore residential buildings. An extensive design approach that introduces protruding features, outdoor air-conditioner unit spaces, and “virtual” elements into design of residential buildings was proposed, which would integrate the solar collectors into the architectural design and extend the functions of the residential buildings. This research aims to provide a theoretical basis for promoting utilization of solar energy and integrated design of offshore buildings.
