INT 456/656-01CINEMATIC SPACE

Cinematic Space is focused on the study of itecture and interiors being an integral component in the creation of a cinematic experience and narrative structure of film. Open to interior design students, as well as communication design, architecture, and film students, the course offers students a diverseapproach to understanding cinematic space as a parallel idea to interior design and architectural conceptual design thinking, and considerations of theoretical design ideas, spatial relationships, and structure.

Within the course, exploration of the ‘space within a space,’ will illustrate how the role of the production designer becomes a critical creative component to filmmaking and spatial definition. Through selected readings, lectures, film viewing, student presentations, and guest speakers, students will better understand how to analyze and utilize the facets of filmmaking processes and cinematic space to enhance their own work.

INT 481/731-01INTERIOR OPTIONS LAB:

INTERIOR CLADDING

This lab will examine the concepts, materials, applications and performance of the “cladded interior.” Cladding can be conceived as surfaces with protective qualities and as coverings that are layered onto substrata that range from columns and partitions to openings. As a performative skin, cladding conceals, insulates, resists, reflects, and absorbs. Often, cladding is used to “cover up” what is unsightly, abrasive, or vulnerable. Sharing its etymology with clothing, this concept of “covering” also suggests a close relationship with the scale of the human body—a tactile and conforming

surface that not only presents a face, or veneer, to the exterior, but reminds us that textiles and tectonics are also derived from the same root.

Students will research and explore concepts, materials and applications of skins and surfaces as they create interior cladding to develop full-scale designs investigating materiality, fabrication and installation that is site-specific. Concepts of cladding may seek inspiration from biological surfaces to digital and include embedded technologies and interactive surfaces.

PARAMETRICS

Parametrics is an advanced level design lab that will teach students the fundamentals of parametric and rule based modeling for design applications in Interior Design, Architecture and Product Design. The curriculum will encourage a conceptual shift away from the authorship of individual design artifacts, and towards the creation and navigation of rule based design spaces. In order to do so, the course will investigate rule-based and parametric design

concepts and techniques in the context of a generative modeling environment: Grasshopper for Rhino. An introduction to basic modeling techniques in Rhino, and numerous examples of how to utilize Rhino/GH in the context of contemporary design workflows will be included. The coursework will be supported by both practical and conceptual reading material. Assignments originate from the context of the applied modeling.

NARRATIVE SPACES

Narrative Space explores how interiors can be shaped to communicate cultural identity by weaving together physical artifacts and oral testimonies, as well as photographic and other documentary evidence. Using ethnographic techniques such as data collection, site observation, field documentation, and data analysis, students will explore methods of observing and recording to visualize human and spatial behaviors. Working in groups, students

will spend the semester on a single project, that includes researching, conceptualizing and constructing different exhibits at 1:1 scale based on the ethnographic data gathered. Topics are related to current socio-cultural issues.

SOFT CONSTRUCTION

The primary goal of Soft Construction is to expand the use of textiles in habitable space, therefore making textiles a predominate element in the environment. Students will be asked to engage with multiple textile techniques and experiments in order to develop a vocabulary and methodology toward “textile thinking.” The class is conducted in a workshop format where students work and produce

artifacts and invent during the class time block. Two projects will be issued: one at a furniture scale and one at an interior architectural scale.Shop certification is required.

BIOMIMICRY

We find conditions that affect our psyche and work production in negative ways. This Options Lab is created to mitigate these environmental stresses. Our focus will be on how to influence the design of the interior by exploring sustainable principals and the process of making things ecologically. The lab combines BIOMIMICRY, SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES & INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. First, we attempt to learn about the several million years of research and development that has

been conducted on the Earth. Second, we will study how to apply broad sustainability principles and life cycle assessment. Third, we will use this knowledge to begin to generate ideas and forms, or proposals that perform and give back to people in space. Proposals will address air/noise pollution, electro-smog and environmentally unsound materials – all coming from understanding the three different levels of Biomimicry.

TASTE

What is taste and how is it constructed? How do objects and spaces gain values extrinsic to themselves? Taste shifts in modernity from a static set of values reiterating socioeconomic strata, to a dynamic system of value relations between an artifact or space, its representations and its consumption. Taste becomes modern through its engagement with media. Histories and theories of taste, from the aesthetic to the political, will be investigated. Students will analyze a project from the Case

Study House Program (1945-1966), as these houses were conceived as media. The analysis will look within and without, at its substance and image, to excavate design media as a metaphor for, and one site of, the formation of taste.

This course makes a thorough study of textiles, wall covering, and carpet as it relates to aesthetics, application, and function. Both historical and current color & design movements in architecture and interiorsare examined in detail. The structure and other physical properties vis-a-vis design and application are studied, and that understanding applied to a mid-term textile design project. The second half of the semester consists

of a series of trips to textile manufacturers, showrooms and notable projects to function as case-studies for the use of textiles in architecture and the interior.

All-Nighter Survival Kit

Back up back up back up!!!! Need all to have access to all my �les at all times.

Very thirsty. All the time.

My magic wand.

Blessed to have these babies. They have the most nimble touch.

Don’t really need these when I'm on my computer, but they allow me to tap into my designer persona.

Where the magic happens.

One must be able to block out any source of distraction to become one with DESIGN.

Do need these. My eyes get like the Sahara desert.

Very necessary as well. Stressed out lips are not cute, and you never know if your night might call for an impromptu make out sesh!

Great for trips to the bathroom.

If only this was MY energy source.

You never knewwhen you’re goingto need a burst of potassium!

An all-nighter for me typically starts with a nap in the late afternoon that mentally prepares me for a concentrated period time. The environment is also an impor-tant factor. I need to be in a studio

alone or surrounded by other people that are also working––as long as it is at a desk and nowhere near a bed. I’m not a huge coffee drinker either, because it just makes me feel jittery. So instead of coffee to keep me awake, I use upbeat music to help me power through. Also snacks.

Everyone has their different methods of getting through an all-nighter. This is a personal collections of objects that I can- not be without when tackling an immense pile of work, in a short period of time.

This course is directed toward the understanding of the concept of negative volume (space) in relation to interior and exterior environmental situations. Students apply the theory to a project (shop, restaurant, outdoor theater, exhibition space, or some other built environment) and bring it to finished model form. The spring semester applies the principles of Form and Space Methodology to a single context or space. Initial concept models explore abstract visual ideas, interpretive themes,

and material/site relationships. Students will then express relationships and adjustments of proportion, hierarchy, scale, color, texture, interior modeling, axial movement and spatial opposition.Final presentation models describe completed designs and are built with attention to craftsmanship.

This course presumes that our future experience of spaces will be a blend of traditional “concrete and static” reality + “virtual and dynamic” reality. With research projects, students will explore the potential of Reality Augmented. Video projection is used to transform the perceptual structure of architectural and interior spaces. The intention is to mold, with light, the user’s experience of spaces. The class begins with analysis/duplication

of the work by light artists James Turrell, Robert Irwin, Dan Flavin, etc. Students then extend this work to create spatial expressions that explore the possibilities of our future Reality Augmented.It is an open interdisciplinary graduate research course for interior designers, architects, industrial designers, digital artists, fine artists, and ComD majors. All other Pratt graduate students are welcome. Email: [email protected] with questions.

PS 410THURSDAY 1:00 PM – 3:50 PM

Consuming food is a universal activity, totally influenced by the culture in which it is performed. The TableTop course asks a student to choose a culture other than their own, fully research that culture and use this knowledge to design tableware that communicates that culture, visually and through its use in a public venue located in New York City.

A name is created, a location determined and a restaurant façade, interior plan and menu are designed. But the major emphasis is on the design and creation of six pieces of tableware that will provide the diner with a seamlessly satisfying experience.
