SOLUTION STATEMENT

When choosing the materials for the Red to Black space, an attention to use of the space was established. The focus toward relaxation and building a friendship is seen through texture, color, and in the layout of elements. In addition, the materials contribute to the essential needs of the space; to build a partnership between the clients as well as letting them feel welcomed at all times.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FALL 2011

Being in this Materials class I have had the opportunity to explore new materials.  In freshmen studio we learned the dimensions and logistics of a space but this year, being a sophomore, I have been able to learn about the actual materials that can be used to make up a space. This class gave me the opportunity to take field trips with other interior design students, which was a great bonding experience, not to mention the great places we got to visit. The one field trip that I loved was the Jeff Seal homes.

Being able to go out and physically see, touch, and experience materials was a great learning experience for me. I am a very visual person and being able to have it in person was even better! The tours of the two Jeff seal homes were amazing because it was showing us how all the hard work really does pay off. Seeing everything come together in different stages was more motivation to work even harder. Going to the different flooring stores as well as seeing fabrics was a great experience as well. So many materials can be used when designing a space, it can be over whelming sometimes, but with the proper education these decisions can be easily cut down.

This class was not only filled with fun field trips but also was filled with learning about fabrics, flooring, kitchen materials, and a huge subject was LEED. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Our environment is being used up and needs to be saved; LEED can help do this by using recycled products. This new subject, LEED, is becoming a more prominent design structure and will only continue to grow and be used more often.

From learning about fibers, paint, wall coverings, flooring, LEED, and going on field trips, this semester has been valuable. The interior design program at Tech has really opened up my eyes and I have been so excited to tell all my friends and family about what I have learned. Interior design this semester has shown me so many opportunities that are out there in the field and I cannot wait until graduation, where I can go out into the work force and apply my knowledge. 

PARKHILL SMITH & COOPER

The Interior Design class was able to go on yet another field trip. Parkhill Smith and Cooper; other wise known as PSC, which is Lubbock’s first LEED certified building. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is an internationally recognized rating system for buildings. Not knowing much information about LEED, which can be confusing if you are just learning about it, this trip to PSC was incredibly helpful. Being able to physically see and read what made the building LEED certified was what I personally though to be a great learning tool.

One of the main points of LEED is to improve the environment for your employees or in homes. The information and facts that have been collected are amazing and proof that LEED certified buildings are a great space for anyone. At PSC they have a 12% rate of less sick days taken then that of a non-LEED certified building. This is great for the workspace and productivity of the company. When in a hospital that is LEED certified, it is more likely for a patient to heal faster with the use of natural light and being surrounded by employees who work in a LEED certified space.

            Many materials being used to build homes or commercial buildings are actually very harmful during the building process and even after complete. Paint and carpets have harmful chemicals that do not go away as well as not using the right insulation. To have a LEED certified building it is encouraged to use sustainable, recycled, recyclable, and naturally made materials. At PSC they used friendly paint, duct socks, large windows for natural sunlight, glass walls where needed, and open office plan. The duct socks were new to me, they are used to distribute the air in a building evenly with the use of flexible fabric. When on, the sock inflates and when off it deflates, the duct sock is also more aesthetically pleasing because of the many colors and sizes available.

After going on the field trip, learning more about LEED in materials and studio class, I look forward to the day when I am able to design a LEED certified building.  This design is becoming a huge influence on designers all around the world and its not dyeing out any time soon. With LEED being such a prominent factor in design, LEED will only continue to grow and become more important in building designs. As an interior design student, I look forward to being able to design with LEED and see how it will evolve in the future.
