Architectural Interiors

involves the detailed planning and design of the indoor / enclosed areas of any
proposed building / structure, including retrofit, renovation, rehabilitation or expansion
work which shall cover all architectural and utility aspects, including the architectural
lay-outing of all building engineering systems found therein.

Interior architects, though often grouped with interior decorators, take on a bigger task than
making a room or building aesthetically pleasing. They take into account what is practical and
beautiful, but they must also understand the structure of a building in order to make it safe and
functional. Interior architects usually hold degrees and are certified in their career field. Interior
architects specialize in designing and building interiors for safety, functionality and aesthetics. It
is important that interior architects not only understand the durability and strength of building
materials, but also be skilled in the use of light, color and textures in a space.

Interior architects are typically part of the building or remodeling process from beginning to
end. They begin a job by meeting with the client to discuss the expectations for the project. At
these initial meetings, it is the interior architect's job to listen to the wants and needs of the
client and make building suggestions. They also need to get a feel for the space.

While the Interior Designer focuses on ways to decorate interior spaces, an Interior Architect designs
and constructs that space. So, although you often work with the Interior Designer, your job as an
Interior Architect is very different.nnWhen you create a design, you consider many factors, such as
natural and artificial lighting. What time of day receives the most light? Which type of ceiling fixtures
should you use? Load-bearing walls, safety and building codes, number of windows, doors, seats,
tables, the central heating system all come into play as well. In addition, as an Interior Architect are
often charged with creating a space that serves a specific purpose, such as a relaxing atmosphere
for a spa or a productive air in an office.nnYou work on the inside of the building, and often specialize
in one type, such as a casino, house, or theater. You also work as part of a construction team that
includes Engineers, Construction Workers, and other Architects. It requires a lot of communication to
relate your ideas while acknowledging those of others. Teamwork is pivotal.nnTake, for example, the
task of designing the interiors of a theater. The Engineer needs to make sure it is structurally sound.
You want to embellish it with a mosaic ceiling, flying buttresses, and walls embossed in gold. And the
Construction Supervisor needs to make sure the project is done on time and within budget. In order
to do your job, you have to respect and consider everyone elses.n

1.1.1 Acoustic Design

AIA

involves the detailed planning and design to control sound transmission for compatibility with
the architectural design concept.
In todays architectural environment, good acoustical design isnt a luxury its a necessity.
Acoustics impacts everything from employee productivity in office settings to performance
quality in auditoriums to the market value of apartments, condominiums and single-family
homes. While the science behind sound is well understood, using that science to create desired
acoustical performance within a specific building or room is complex. Theres no single
acoustical solution that can be universally applied to building design. Each built environment
offers its own unique set of acoustical parameters. The acoustical design for a business
conference room, for instance, differs greatly from the design needed for a kindergarten
classroom.
kindergarten classroom. Understanding these differences and knowing how to utilize building
materials, system design and technologies are key factors behind successful acoustical design.
This article will provide basic background on the science and measurement of sound, as well as
insights into some of the principles of wall partition and ceiling system acoustical design.
When creating acoustical specifications, remember that every space presents a unique acoustical
challenge. An employment office, for example, may require all-confidential private offices, while
a bank may warrant varying levels of speech privacy. In office settings, conference rooms and
executive offices usually require high levels of acoustical control, but other areas may require
only moderate measures. Consider the past environment of the occupants.

Acoustic design is important because I can prevent unnecessary sound to enter a room. It also
prevents unwanted sound that interferes with the function of a given space.
Noise is subjective because what is disturbing and unacceptable to one room
application, may be acceptable to another.

1.1.1 Site Development Planning (SDP)

lay-outing and utilization of spaces within and surrounding a specific building /
structure in relation with the existing natural and/or built environments have to be a
well-coordinated effort so that both the building / structure and the host environment
shall act as one.

 Sustainable site design is one of the most economical and critical tools for
incorporating green infrastructure into development projects. Green
infrastructure serves to protect water quality in streams, lakes and wetlands
and thereby can meet community needs and regulatory requirements.
Specifically, sustainable site design incorporates stream buffers, bioswales,
rain gardens, reduced hard surfaces and similar low impact development
practices into a network of green spaces can help improve or reasonably mimic
preconstruction runoff conditions.
A site development plan includes a drawing and supporting documents,
showing the proposed improvements involved in developing a given lot. Site
development plans show information regarding the location of all structures,
roads, parking, landscaping, utilities, storm water management (SWM)
facilities, and drainage.

Historic and Cultural Heritage Conservation and Planning

The suitably trained and experienced Consulting Architect in this area of architectural
practice provides research, assessment, recording, management, interpretation and
conservation of historical heritage.

Conservation of cultural heritage involves protection and restoration using "any methods that prove
effective in keeping that property in as close to its original condition as possible for as long as
possible
Conserving our historic and cultural heritage is one of the most important thing, our
historic building that way build way back in time shows the evolution of architecture in our
country.
Our country has a law when it comes to cultural and heritage conservation. We have rich
historical background that makes our buildings, houses and surrounding the way it is.
Before ethos modern things come out we have our own style of design a structure that we
adapt from different countries that came and seize our country.
Conserving our historic and cultural heritage is one of the most important thing, our
historic building that way build way back in time shows the evolution of architecture in our
country.

1.1.1 Architectural Lighting Layout and Design

involves the detailed planning and design of light transmission, timing and control for
compatibility with the architectural design concept.
It shows where and when is the natural lighting in a room, building. It shows how
sustainable a lighting can be in a project.
Lighting fixtures come in a wide variety of styles for various functions. The most important functions
are as a holder for the light source, to provide directed light and to avoid visual glare. Some are very
plain and functional, while some are pieces of art in themselves. Nearly any material can be used, so
long as it can tolerate the excess heat and is in keeping with safety codes.
