MDES INTERIOR DESIGN

Reid Building, 39 students

We are delighted to celebrate another year of fantastic work from Interior Design MDes students. They are actively engaging with the social and political aspects of everyday life using their spatial education as a navigational device. Their critical approaches emphasise the production of space with the use of physical and digital tools. Venturing beyond mainstream notions of the discipline, they imagine types of future human inhabitation and suggest how spaces might be. Their studies, together with their personal stories, have furnished them with the greatest opportunity to discuss, debate and  explore innovative approaches to the making of interiors, and thereby reframing our relationship with space.

These and other questions were floated between participants, their answers may be found embedded in the work you will discover here.

from The Influence of Interior Design: Wealth, Power, and Status

The first means used by human to communicate are sounds and words alongside posture. Movement can be used as an inspiring way to perceive It was developed for the purpose of sensing into the systems we are embedded within to gain insight and wisdom, to close the feedback loop between reality and its invisible source of awareness and thought. This invisible source of thought and awareness can only be accessed and understood in the present moment.

In the original description, the narrator speaks of a scene in the living room when the family has just moved in and everything is full of anticipation and excitement, so in the model I have also used bright, warm colours to create a very welcoming and exciting character of the space

from Design Process

I found that of all the elements that go into forming IDENTITY, this restaurant fulfilled every need when it came to hosting a Christmas event, and I think that's why people can develop such a strong collective memory of this place.

from Preliminary Research

The motivation for my project comes from some old photos of mine. These photos all depict a place - the first rice noodle restaurant my father opened in our hometown. It was just like any other noodle shop in the city at that time, nothing particularly special about it. However, one year, my parents went to the provincial capital city to learn experience and they found luxury hotels all decorate for Christmas. In our remote mountainous hometown, very few people knew what Christmas was. So, during the Christmas season, everyone gathered with curiosity at the restaurant to experience the festive atmosphere with friends and family. Year after year, it accompanied generations of people as they grew up. When mentioning the concept of Christmas, the first thing that comes to people's minds is not the birth of Jesus but going to this restaurant to have a meal. And this concept is known only to the locals. In other cities, people wouldn't associate Christmas with the same idea and definition. This event, this place, is like a symbol that brings the people of this street and this city together.
