The contemporary design world is the most important indicator of the humans'
desire for creativity. During the historical process the concept of design developed
according to the necessities of the period and it reached today creating different areas of
expertise. The act of design, which has probably begun by motives such as
personalization or possession inside the caves, now forms the basis of many
occupations. One of these occupations is interior architecture, which looks at design
with a space-human scale, turns towards the individual along with a collective
perspective and customizes the life of the individual.
“It is the nature of Humankind not only to use spaces, but to fill them with beauty
and meaning” (IFI, 2011). Therefore, ‘’Interior architecture, which is characterized as
the occupation of the 21st century, emerges as an unavoidable reality of life with its
education, fields of application and auxiliary occupational groups.’’(Kaptan, 1998).
Even though it has a short history, there has been many definitions of "interior
architecture" discipline from many different perspectives and many other areas of
expertise, such as illumination design and acoustics design, were developed in
connection with this discipline. If we consider the general definition of the concept of
interior architecture, “ has defined interior architecture as an occupation, which designs
predetermined spaces in terms of practical, aesthetical and symbolical functions, in
accordance with humans' physical and spiritual properties and their actions, in order to
meet the humans' needs” (Kacar, 1998).
Like all design disciplines, interior architecture discipline has also created its own
culture. This culture is comprised of its own means of communication. The drawing
language of interior architects, the scale and terminology used by the internal architects
are among these means of communication and they form the basis of interior
architecture. This study examines these communication techniques used during the
design process and raises awareness regarding the importance of this matter.
