INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

To complete the the research, I interviewed the interior designer Onna Carr with just three simple but fundamental, for me, design questions:

1. What do you feel you need to consider when you are designing for a project?

2. Did you run into a creative block on a project?

3. Is there any interior design style you favor?

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.8) ASSIGNMENT (A)

SHORT

INTERVIEW ANSWERS

1. I think it is important to design with the end in mind. To understand fully what your client desires as their finished product and to create with that vision in mind. I believe that consideration and thoughtfulness, are the two greatest considerations for me as an interior designer 2. No. I have never yet run into a creative block in interior design as yet. Things always have worked out very well for me and my clients.

3. Personally, I am fond of cottage-style design with its airy style and kitschy accents. I also appreciate the incorporation of vintage and antique items into modern interiors. For a specific period I am fond of historically, I am drawn to aspects of both Baroque and Rococo. I appreciate the grandness of Baroque and how this style gave way to the slightly lighter beauty of Rococo. The gilded furniture and attention to detail of these periods is awe-inspiring to me.

SKETCHES Transitional Armchair

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.11) ASSIGNMENT (A)

EXPLANATIONS OF THE PICTURES LIGHT 1 - The windows of the Cathedral of Saint Denis are very colored and they let in a lot of light, a clear sign of a Gothic light.

2 - The light present in a Gothic Revival apartment, it amalgamates very well with the dark colours of this bedroom.

3 - The Palladian windows in this picture, are a great referement to the Classicism and then also to the type of the light that these windows produce inside this room.

4 - The illumination of a Baroque interior passes also through the surfaceas as in this case, where we can see some of them are plain, and gilded and decorated in other points.

5 - The glass courtain wall in this picture are one of the architectural symbols of modernism, so for this reason I have chosen this picture of Tugendhat House.

6 - The Transitional interiors can be very dark or very bright, with this picture I wanted to grasp the brightest aspect of this style.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.1) ASSIGNMENT (B)

TEXTURE 7 - The window, as this one, is a typical texture of the Gothic period.

8 - Among the textures of the Gothic Revival style, we can find the red velvet as on the cushions on this sofa.

9 - The textures of Classicism are bright surfaces, marble plain, rough stone that interact each other in the same space, featuring the type of interior as in this photo.

10 - The heaviness of the Baroque style is not only about aestethics but in this case the gilded pattern of the surface in the picture, explains this concept.

11 - The modernism develops around naked texture, not intricated, colorless as in this interior "Truth to materials".

12 - In the Transitional interior the textures determinate the project and here, I think it's a very good example between the colours of the room, the cushions and the fabric.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.2) ASSIGNMENT (B)

COLOUR 13 - The dark colours of Gothic are really visible in this picture.

14 - The Gothic Revival, as the Gothic style can be dark or bright. It expresses its brightness as in this case where I chose the picture for its fresco.

15 - Palazzo Colonna in Rome is a clear example of interior of Classicism with gilded decorations and coloured frescos.

16 - The Baroque colours , rich and sad, are good represented in this interior of the Monastary in Prague.

17 - The Modernism doesn't use colours or if it uses them, are primary colours on white background as in this case very explicit inside the Bauhaus of Dessau.

18 - Among the several colour options which are good for a Transitional interior (strong colours or brilliant, scale of whites and cream), I choosen the picture of bright interior with neutral colours.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.3) ASSIGNMENT (B)

OBJECTS 19 - The Gothic objects, reflect, the architecture in a small version of this style. As in this example these objects are featured by meticulous gilded details and upward momentum.

20 - The Gothic Revival has produced useful objects as mirrors, frames, furniture in general, then I chose a clock with its gilded ornaments and detailed, which represent this style.

21 - The fireplace, in classicist style, in marble, well worked, scraped is an object that really often identify the style in the space where it is insered.

22 - Reliquary with bones is a typical object of the Baroque period and show this style with the use of fine materials with which it is made and from its meticulous workmanship.

23 - The Modernist objects show the production process with which they were built, but I chose this iconic teapot of the Bauhaus for its essential geometrical forms.

24 - The Transitional wall clock is an object that strengthens really much a project of interior.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.4) ASSIGNMENT (B)

FORM 25 - Westminster Abbey is an iconical example of Gothic architecture. The upward momentum and the accurated processing of the ornaments, determinate the style.

26 - The wheel window on the facade and the upward momentum , give an image of the Gothic Revival style very strong. This also featured by a weaker decoration.

27 - The Art Gallery of Sydney, with its doric columns (Parthenon style) represent the typical architecture of Antique Greece. This is a piece of Classicist style.

28 - The Baroque is the first architectural style which is exported all around the world, for this reason I chose this building of Mexico.

29 - The essentiality of geometric forms of the Modernism, is strongly visible on the Massaro House realized by Frank Lloyd Wright.

30 - Being a mix of several style, the Transitional style is featured by past and future, also in this case, is evident the classicist simmetry from the outside and from the windows which have modern frame but of Palladian style.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.5) ASSIGNMENT (B)

SPACE 31 - The Gothic style is recognized for the interior large space created by vaulted ceilings and flying buttresses. These two elements permit to the structure to transfer their weight to the exterior.

Entering in this cathedral I felt this sense of large.

32 - Being born by the awakening of the Gothic, the Gothic Revival has some architectural signs very similar and often the same to the precedent style. In this picturewe can see how the space develops on height as in the gothic style.

33 - The Classicism it manifests trough the use of simmetry and as in this picture it is visible with extreme precision.

34 - The Baroque interior, as that one in the picture, express its decorative and gilded featured, around all space: from the walls to the objects that furnish it.

35 - The absence of decoration and colours, with minimal furniture and natural texture, create this modern interior.

36 - The brightness of the space, the door windows in palladian style, the smooth lines of the chair and those ones rigid of the table, the neutral colours, indicate us that we have a transitional space.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.6) ASSIGNMENT (B)

FURNITURE 37 - In this Gothic chair, is clear to see how this object has the same featured of its architecture.

In fact it is so tall and slender and the seat is very large.

38 - Also in this case we can see how the backseat seems to be the facade of Neogothic church.

39 - The simplicity and the lack of decorations on the object and on the furniture, recognize this chair on the Classicism. Decorations and other details, of this period, were manifested more on frescos than on the furniture.

40 - As already seen on the Baroque space the gilded and lavish decorations is present also on furniture.

41 - An iconical modernist design signed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Cassina, it is also in this case a mirror of its period. No decorations and minimal lines.

42 - Smooth lines, clear upholstery and blu velvet, define this small sofa for the Transitional style.

Introduction to: MARCEL WANDERS

Marcel Wanders because he is fascinating in his way of designing.

He creates interior spaces, objects and structures as if he were telling a story and I think this is the best and the most interesting way to approach this work with an extraordinary philosophy that will be reflected in every project. I am intrigued by the contemporary and often minimal design of northern Europe but in this caseI see Wanders as a small innovator that doesn’t give up a bit of color and decoration to this style of design (contemporary) that emphasizes this clean style which mostly is very neat. I think he is a very interesting designer because of what immediately strikes me in his work, is the use of patterns and textures in surfaces.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.8) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

LIGHT

As in the classic design and in this case too, especially in the picture number 1, the light enhances the surface which is very elaborate. Also the patterns, which are the leitmotif of his works, are enhanced by light even if they are simple textures designed and not necessarily three-dimensional sculptures. From these pictures is possible to notice how differently, the light can be used.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.9) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

TEXTURE

The pictures for this category may not be enough to explain how much Marcel Wanders uses them. He is in fact one of the major designers who most uses this form of furniture and we see how his choice is very varied with textures that can be three-dimensional, two-dimensional, modern or inspired by the tradition of several cultures and created on different materials, not with only graphic variants.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.10) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

COLOUR

The color, in his interiors, in his objects, in the patterns, are always very bright even if he uses dark colours. In the design of Marcel Wanders, color is an important and decisive element. It is an element that furnishes, that revives, that enhances and in fact are always bright and strong colors, warm or cold but rarely, almost never neutral colors to be used.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.11) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

OBJECTS

I also really appreciate the objects of Marcel Wanders. Very different objects, and this is the thing I like the most: inspired by the Dutch tradition with white and blue ceramics, or terra cotta. But not only the materials, the textures and the carvings characterize the design of his objects, in fact even in the forms we find objects from the minimalist line to more elaborate lines.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.12) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

FORM

The form is never trivial, in fact both in the spaces and in the objects Marcel Wanders uses a line that creates a shape that is then enriched by texture, pattern, color and materials that transform a minimal line into a complete object or space.

STUDENT NUMBER - 10309 STUDENT NAME - Andrea Gramaccia MODULE - 1 (1.13) ASSIGNMENT (B)

MARCEL WANDERS

SPACE

Space is always, or often, very bright, with natural light or lamps that are also very distinctive design objects. White is often predominant and this is also one of the reasons why the spaces are illuminated but they are never banal and are enriched with pieces of furniture that sometimes are kitsch with gold colour and/or with baroque pattern.

MARCEL WANDERS

FURNITURE

Among the objects of different styles, we obviously find the furniture. Here too, we have more innovative furniture than classic with a minimal design but above all functional, smart furniture, conceived in a practical and not only aesthetic way. In the vastness of furniture we find some of them that are provocative objects of art.
