As we progress towards the future technology has become even more expansive and necessary in numerous jobs. For interior design many aspects have been improved with the ability to connect with each other worldwide. Being able to have contacts and clients halfway around the world, and to be able to converse with distributers and manufactures in real time as opposed to via e-mail has become indispensable to our community. I do not know if I am in favor of designing a space that I have never been in or basing a design on the general characteristics of a population. I agree that you can obtain enough information to achieve a virtual experience that would mimic the space; however I feel that the only way to achieve the experience of the environment is through firsthand knowledge. I feel that visiting the site and experiencing s and interacting with the space is what enhances design. Human experience the world with all of their senses not just their eyes. The intangible aspects of a space are what give it its individuality.
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it, our entire learning process while going to school is designing spaces that we have never been in! With the right amount of information, it shouldn't matter where it is in the world for us to understand how what kind of design it requires.
And with the help of computers and technology, we can almost literally experience a space with out being there....thru renderings.
