Today's case sharer, Mr. Man, applied for studying in the United States for interior space design. His collection of works received offers from six schools, including Pratt, RISD and Parsons. She took the responsibility of the future interior designer as the fundamental starting point of her collection of learning works, and she took the responsibility of the future interior designer as the fundamental starting point of her collection of learning works. Under the leadership of professional interior space teachers, she solved the interior design work of transforming residential areas into office areas when all entrepreneurs have limited funds! As a result, Mr. Mann also received recognition from RISD $17000, SAIC 50% tuition reduction, and Boston Institute of Architecture in 5 schools!

The Case of Studying Abroad in American Interior Space Design

Interior space is closely related to people's living conditions. How to meet the living habits of different people through design in small places is often a difficult problem for designers to solve. Today, Mann's case of studying in the United States for interior space design listed several space places. With limited funds, the residential area will be transformed into office area, furniture design Museum and tramp's home, in order to solve the different problems of residential space and exhibition space, Mann combined a variety of disciplines to design the final set of Studying Abroad in Interior Space Design The collection also reflects the great potential of Mann as a future interior designer!

　　 Creation experience of overseas works collection of interior space design:

During the whole research process, we found that with the development of society, there has been a new upsurge in China. Many young people want to start their own companies. However, due to the shortage of funds, they have no money to rent expensive offices. Therefore, some of them choose to move their offices to residential buildings. Housing has great advantages. For example, it is close to community resources and cheap. Nevertheless, the layout of residential space still does not meet people's needs for start-ups. In this way, we need to transform the space to meet the needs of those who want to start a business.

　　 Problems:

A) A small number of bedrooms.

B) Limited space in the workplace.

C) Inadequate use of the used area and contracted area.

D) Each space is separated.

In the design and transformation of the entire interior space, we have created a space with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation so that people can communicate. How to solve the above problems and balance the relationship between more functions and existing open areas?

　　 Solution reconfigurable space

In order to maintain the flexibility of space, changeable furniture is introduced. When these furniture can be stored on the revolving storage wall, it will produce a large space utilization rate. In the detailed design, the rotatable storage wall is designed based on the principle of notebook heat dissipation.

Enterprise office belongs to commercial space design, which is very different from the home decoration in interior decoration. Before starting work, it is necessary to effectively design office and divide functional zones. Only in this way can the working environment conform to the actual situation, and only in this way can the interior space flexibly use the characteristics of the interior space, grasp the overall reasonable layout of the interior space, etc.

The insertion method is used to solve the above problem, that is, a series of multi-functional convertible walls are embedded in the open area. According to different forms of extensible walls, three modes are formed: open extensible wall mode, display extensible wall mode, and private meeting mode. In addition, three bedrooms were created in the available space, taking into account that start-ups work around the clock.

　　 Learning process:

The teacher's first impression of Ms. Mann is that she is a very thoughtful girl and is very happy to discuss her ideas with others. At the project opening, she discussed the points of interest with her teacher. Although she knew what direction she wanted to go, she did not think about the solution process comprehensively. The teacher also helped her to analyze from multiple perspectives and finally choose the project direction that she was most interested in.

For example, this case of interior space design was also the first theme identified by Ms. Mann. In the early analysis, she was also able to actively find the entry point of the project, find the existing problems, and then focus on solutions with the teacher. Later, she found the user group and space function layout targeted by the space according to the space type, This is also the basic design idea to establish the space type.

Exhibition space design

The design of the exhibition space between the edges was inspired by the creative feelings of a homeless man who picked up a dead bird at the street corner. Feeling sad about the same fate, he decided to build a home for himself and many dead birds.

The highlight of the whole space project lies in the center. In this work, some dead birds hang from the top and are connected by wires. From different entrances to the center, tourists will get a completely more convenient perspective and experience. In addition, they may expect when they will meet - because the central content changes over time. We encourage tourists to enjoy the atmosphere that seems dark but somewhat optimistic.

The model consists of two parts: black and white. During the process of making the model, all materials do not need adhesive tape or glue. These components are interlocked with each other.

Dead birds are displayed in the center of space. Visitors can enter from different doors to get different views. Because the blackboard and whiteboard are built together, it presents a world between black and white, real and unreal.

Interior space design and display now pay more attention to interaction, so that art is not so mysterious, so that people can participate in it, and obtain higher experience effect in the viewing process.

Requirements for Studying Abroad in American Interior Space Design

Generally speaking, 4-5 projects will be required. Each project involves a complete process from research at the initial stage of creativity to model making, effect display, post rendering, etc. Each project may be a different theme or a continuous creation. The school will take the collection of works as the main basis to understand the potential of learning in creativity, hand painting, logic and other aspects.

Different schools have different requirements for the collection of works, so the collection of works should be modified according to the target school to give a good impression. The school will require applicants to submit 10-20 pieces of works. It is better to carefully produce and organize these works to make a portfolio that looks gorgeous, and write a paragraph of explanatory text for each work. The portfolio should be printed in color, not black and white, and the actual design drawings should not be edited by PS. In addition to the paper-based collection of works, there are also links between CDs and the main business of their works. Most schools require CD discs to be free of any driver, and web links can be used as the content mentioned in paper or CD works. The use of web links alone is not recommended.

As the undergraduate of Mann is architecture, he belongs to interdisciplinary creation in the whole collection of works, so he successfully applied to the Top 10 Interior Space Design University in the United States at the same time Preet College of Art Rhode Island School of Design, Savannah School of Art and Design, Chicago School of Art, Parsons School of Design, Southern California Institute of Architecture!

　　 Case summary:

In Ms. Mann's overseas work collection project of American interior space design, we will find that her project site selection or design starting point is very different from our original understanding of the "interior design" category, such as project selection will include display design, installation design, architectural design, etc. In fact, this "difference" is exactly the way we should dispel the "prejudice" against interior design and further expand the direction of thinking.

Interior design belongs to the art of space. The definition of this space is not just under the eaves, but also refers to the more flowing relationship between people in the architectural space. While Mann fully understands that there are more possibilities for people and space, and on this basis, he explores how design can help people create more value in their living environment. Therefore, Mann's overseas works collection of American interior space design will not only focus on the theme, but also have more space to expand. Whether it is interior design, architecture, landscape and other design projects with real site selection, we must fully do research. We need to fully understand the cultural background, geographical conditions, policy trends and other aspects of the design site, so as to ensure that we have the most real foothold in the follow-up design process, which is also the part of our works that can most stimulate resonance!
