Concept of Space
a. Definition
Space, in every sense of the word, is one of the most influential aspects of the
“analysis” stage in design problem-solving. Before one actually designs a space for people to
behave in, it makes a great deal of sense for him to be aware of how the people behave to
begin with. Knowing what activities, conditions, and people he is planning for. He should be
able to use his time and effort constructively and in a worthwhile fashion.
b. Bedroom Renovation
While observing the client’s bedroom, the designer noticed that the existing room
does not give her client enough space wherein she can work on her academic and
employment outputs. The existing bedroom is loaded with a lot of things that are quite

A line connects two points. It’s also the path made by a moving point. Lines can be
thick or thin. They can be long or short; horizontal, vertical, curving, or diagonal; each has an
impact on how you perceive space. Lines can also be combined to create shapes and planes,
or forms. Structural elements applied finishes, even lighting can all be applied to create
strong lines within a space. (Lines Used in Architectural Drawings and their Importance,

Curving lines whether freeform, arcing, circular, or elliptical often feel natural, organic,
playful, and soothing. If you are looking to make a space flow curving lines are a great way to
do it. They are also very voluminous taking up space within an interior.
b. Bedroom Renovation
For the existing bedroom’s interior, the designer observed that there are only a few
lines that give impact the room. But, even if there are only a few (or some are hidden
because of large objects inside the room), it is still enough to make the room look dull and
boring because there is no impact coming from the lines of architecture in that aspect.

Form in architecture not just plays a very crucial role but it is probably the most
debated subject as well. It is not just simply the shape or configuration of a building but it
comprises of lot many elements be it a point, line, plane, or volume. So, it may be any text,
textures, or images that we use in design. (Importance of Form In Architecture, 2020) Any
architecture without any form can never be imagined, here are the importance of forms:

called biomimetic architecture. The forms are inspired so much by nature that what seems
so simple in nature can actually translate to better design solutions by a designer. These
design solutions are generally more efficient, sustainable, and healthy. By the way, these
types of forms are not actually about replicating the natural form, it is more about

b. Bedroom Renovation
The form that the existing bedroom has is a regular form, which the designer does
not plan to change. Therefore, the renovated bedroom will still be in its regular form after
some enhancements.

Light plays a central role in the design of a visual environment. The architecture,
people, and objects are all made visible by the lighting. Light influences our well-being, the
aesthetic effect, and the mood of a room or area. It is light that first enables “what you see”.

often best to avoid harsh lights or lighting that casts troublesome shadows. It is also
practical to install a single switch for focal lighting, independent from the room’s overall
lighting switch.

Color is a sensory perception, and as any sensory perception, it has effects that are
symbolic, associative, synesthetic, and emotional. This self-evident logic has been proven
by scientific investigation. Because the body and mind are one entity, neuropsychological
aspects, psychosomatic effects, visual ergonomics, and color’s psychological effects are the
Color has not always been so detached from architectural design. Historically, the
artist’s profession encompassed all, but not exclusively: painting, sculpture, and
architecture. The color was used lavishly in architecture, because of the desire to glorify

b. Bedroom Renovation
To achieve the minimalistic look of the bedroom, the designer decided to opt for the
neutral color palette. The goal is to make the bedroom clean and simple. That’s why the
designer prefers white or off-white colors for the walls. Then incorporate other colors in
terms of a secondary color (grey, brown) as well as accent colors (red or yellow).

simultaneously by eye, the first has tactile, and the second visual associations.

To add more depth in the proposal of the bedroom, the designer decided to use
smooth texture for the base walls, then natural textures on small parts of the bedroom to
accentuate the bedroom and have its simple look at the same time.

archetypal and reusable descriptions. The term pattern in this context is usually attributed to
Christopher Alexander, an Austrian born American architect. The patterns serve as an aid to
design cities and buildings. The concept of having collections of "patterns", or typical
samples as such, is much older. One can think of these collections as forming a pattern
language, whereas the elements of this language may be combined, governed by certain
rules.
