Hey, guys! Today, I'll be reflecting on the lecture I had to watch over the materials used in Interior Design. Materials effect interior environments in several ways, which mainly includes the mood it gives off and what it represents. Depending on the materials used depends on how the viewer feels. The designer could use natural materials for an Earth-made kind of feeling, processed materials to show a cross of nature-made and man-made, and synthetic to show only man-made ideas. Another factor would be color. Color can represent so many different things, although colors don't technically mean anything. The source of materials and the colors used play a huge part in Interior Design because we as humans like to have things created around their own ideas and feelings, and our job is to reflect on those ideas.
In my case study on the High Museum of Art, one main material that I'm able to recognize is the wood flooring. The functional purpose of this flooring is probably for the acoustics of the museum. However, I think another point to it would be to add some natural elements to the man-made building. This kind of symbolizes the natural ability the artists used while creating the art pieces that are viewed in the museum.
Below is an up-close image of the flooring in one of the galleries.
