Interior architecture

in summer, my professor has taught us that there are actually difference between interior architecture, interior design, interior decoration, and architecture, which is like a rag around architecture. I didn’t know there are such difference between those interior and architecture fields, and sometimes it is a lines blurring on this discussing topic, to define the role and responsivities of each profession. Although we have already known that interior design involved with architecture and technical aspects of interior design, and less involved with decorative, soft furnishings side. As a result, what is interior architecture? That was my question since then, so I started to did some research…

Architecture and interior design are incredible primary sources that have helped historians to look deeply into the cultural, social, and political value of any civilizations in the past. Space planning of a dwelling not only can reflect the function and activity of the people in one culture; it also allows us to have a micro/macro investigation on how people lived and the phenomenon customs that one culture practiced. This investigation is perfectly applicable in order to compare and contrast…

Andreas Gursky was born on January 15, 1955 in Leipzig, Germany. He is a German photographer and a professor at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf, which is as well in Germany. This photographer is best known for his monumental digitally manipulated photographs which portray various aspects such as consumer culture and busyness of modern life, resulting in dramatic images that mark the line between the representation and the abstract. Gursky began photographing in black and white with a hand-held…

Interdependence is by definition the support system of two or more people that rely and depend on each other to accomplish a set goal. There are many inner and outer obstacles in a person’s path that can hinder then from finishing what they had originally intended. For me some of my inner obstacles are that I tend to procrastinate on my assignments, I fear failure, and I tend to be very sarcastic when unsure of things. Some of my outer obstacles are my job and my family. By forming a group with…

Why is it young girls look in the mirror and cringe? Why do young girls even look in the mirror at all? Perhaps it is the need to feel pretty. They dive deep into the mirror looking for “pretty” traits. Small waist. Wide hips. Long, Healthy hair. Flat Stomach. But then again comes the question, why do girls feel that being pretty physically is what matters. Society has taught us that it is on the outside that matters. The hair, the lips the eyes, rather than personality. For some what’s on…

What is alter ego and does it affect a person's behavior? A study carried by the University of Pennsylvania shows that individuals have different ideas on what alter ego really is. In this paper we will concentrate in researching the alter ego, its psychological and philosophical characteristics, and how the individual make its alter ego ideal and relates to it. When the alter ego is developed the person thinks about it all the time, and at some point the subject will like to start a new life as…

In society, every person has a set of routines in which they carry out. Commonly, many people deem their everyday routines as mundane because they perform them on a daily basis. What people tend to be oblivious of is that most of their daily routines are constructed by society, every action one takes throughout their day is something they were taught by society. For example, the act of brushing one’s teeth or washing one’s hands after using the bathroom, are activities one is taught by their…

In my opinion, education is not preparation for life, it’s truly life itself and it’s bound to take you beyond wonders. One must not let their past drag them down, but lift them up to aim for greater heights. My educational goal is to major in Architecture. I plan on being a part of the FIU Connect-4-Success program, which is a program that allows you to attend an FIU partner college in order to complete prerequisite courses and a guaranteed admission to FIU once you finish. I plan to attend…

Nikon 3100 camera. This present represented so much more to me, it was the help I needed to find myself in the artistic world. This new environment opened up my eyes to many wonderful things, I discovered that in art expressing yourself allows you to have a new voice, through photography I learned how capture live and send a message to the world just by looking at my viewfinder. I spend most of my nights drawing different figures because I knew that practice was the key to success. I became more…

I would not say that the community that I grew up in necessarily fostered creativity. The small farming community in Illinois about thirty minutes from both the Iowa and Wisconsin boarders tended to focus solely on agriculture and sports. I try not to give where I grew up any credit for my academic success and passion for interior design, but honestly, growing up where I did gave me the strongest push to make something important of myself and my life. Growing up an only child, I was often forced…
