Abstract:
Design is the struggle of mankind to create his higher self in another dimension in a dynamic process; it is also about revealing an idea, a thought, and a project in an aesthetical form by artistic means. Final design is the result by means of ‘’dialect’’ which the designer brings character and soul of those products into light. The product unveiled speaks the language of the designer and bears the imprint of him. What’s more, it is shaped according to the acquisitions and knowledge of the designer. An interior designed and applied harbors the perception, previous acquisitions, experiences and fingerprints of its designer. While every single thing that has been designed bears the imprints of its designer, the proper designer is supposed to reflect the universal principles and rules. When reflecting what is universal in her product as a result of her own experiences and acquisitions, the designer should not neglect ‘human’ and ‘scale’ elements. So to say, the human being who is the only and precise scale should form the starting point of the design. Interior Architecture which as a design discipline takes the human being as its starting point forms its designs in an original and livable way based on the human scale.
TMMOB (Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects) will present the original position of Interior Architecture among other design disciplines and its distinct ‘design dialect’ comparatively with visual documents based on the legal legislations stated by The Chamber of Interior Designers. Relationships of Location-Human, Human-Furniture, Furniture-Location are scale and proportion problems. The solution to this problem should be the scaling and mechanical drawing rules based on the legal legislation of the Chamber of Interior Designers, TMMOB.
The aim of this study is to put an emphasis on the differences of scale which are at the design and application phase. At the same time, introducing the position and significance of Interior Architecture among similar disciplines that have many things in common but differ in the application area. It will be underlined that Interior Architecture uses scale, mechanical drawing and semiotics specific to its own area and it also uses values closer to human criteria in this wise. Besides these, it will be stated that these values are more effective on human behavior and psychology and that they direct the behaviors more efficiently one to one.
