Open Post #1: Material Choices



We hear many cases of fires and people slipping inside their own houses due to poor materials. Well to fix those, people call well-formed architects or interior designers, because we learn the quality of the materials and where they should be placed.


The government estimates 8,400 fires that were caused due poor material selections, causing around 275 deaths because furnishing were ignition point. Well, interior designers study those cases and prevent these to happen.

As I said before, we study where each material should be placed and why. For an example; have you ever noticed why in a lecture hall the flooring is normally always hard and normally never a carpet texture? Well, when it is a lecture, it is expected that the professor wants everyone to listen to him/her so the flooring needs to be adequate to the situation, amplifying the sound. The hard and resilient floor amplifies the sound so that everyone can hear. Now, in a restaurant, you normally see carpets in areas where people will be seated, because the talk at each table will be private for each table (carpeted walls or floors).







That’s only part of what interior designer’s do. We need to figure out what kind of door is better for the circulation of the people, as well as the window and also measurements for them. Those are small parts of the big role of an interior designer.
