Famous Interior Designers...?
Hey guys, i need some help!
I have a project on famous interior designers, however the project itself is to find 6 interiors with a dominant material in each.
For example:
The name of a particular Interior which is made up of mainly decorative glass, and the name of the famous interior designer.
The Materials i can choose 6 from as follows:
- Natural stone
- Stainless steel
- Aluminium
- Natural timber
- Man made timber
- Bricks
- Glass (Toughened)
- Glass (Decorative)
- Plaster (Functional)
- Plaster (Decorative)
- Plastics/Laminate
- Plastics/Acrylic
- Paint (Broad wall)
- Paint (Decorative effects)
- Ceramic tiles
- Vinyl
Im having so much trouble with this project, and any help would be appreciated!
Hope these few ideas can help get you started:
Decorative Glass: The Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, designed by Mansart, decorated by Lebrun, 1678.
Decorative Paint: The Louis XV Room at Versailles, by decorative painter Huet, 1678.
Ceramic tiles: Have a look at the University of Mexico library, designed by Juan O'Groman.
Man-made timber: do you mean milled lumber? If so, have a look at some of Frank Lloyd Wright's interiors. Of course he was an architect, but he was such a snob that he insisted on doing the many of his clients' interiors as well.
Decorative Glass: why not use Tiffany or Lalique as your models? They were both designers. Or perhaps a master chandelier designer from Waterford?
Toughened Glass: Have a look at Philip Johnson's house in New Canaan, Connecticut. He was the architect/designer of the glass walls, but he used Mies van der Rohe furnishings.
Good luck on your project!

Touch screen computer systems (kiosks) are seen more and more these days in many and various locations. They are used for a variety of applications such as ticketing, information delivery, photo printing and many others. Most uses tend to fit to a fairly common design brief - being used indoors.
Taking a complex electronic item outdoors requires a more more detailed and well-thought design process to ensure that the machine will continue to work both in the warmest and coldest times of the years. Not only this, but it will also have to deal with the british weather - rain!
Having survived all that the weather can throw at it, a touch screen kiosk for outdoor use must be tough engough to cope with some fairly harsh use.
Touchscreen kiosks are often used with a number of input devices and other peripherals such as telephone handset and it is vital that all components of the system are designed for the environment it will be used in. Telephone handsets are available with ruggedised plastic casings and armoured cables. Keyboards are availble in stainless steel, reistant to all including the worst rain, snow and ice.
Touchscreen kiosks all have LCD screens and a touchscreen covering and the designer must give some thought on how to protect the screen from vandalism whilst still providing a pleasant usege experience. In direct sunlight it may be difficult for the user to see the LCD so think about how the metalwork design may help to provide some shade to the screen. Alternatively take a look at high-brightness LCD screens or sunlight visible LCDs using transflective technology.
The main motherboard will have a temperature specification detailing the lowest and upper operating temperature which the motherboard has been designed for use. Operation of the motherboard below the lower temperature or above the higher operating temperature may stop the system from funtioning correctly. Proper heating and cooling of the system is therefore required to ensure reliable operation year round. The system can be kept warm during the coldest winters by using a small heating element inside the kiosk. Cooling can be done using fans to create an airflow out of the enclosure. However - ideally cooling holes would allow heat to escape from the system but this is a compromise to stop ingress of water.
A watchdog timer, if present, will help in many situations if the hardware locks-up for any reason. A watchdog timer is a device usually on the motherboard of industrial motherboards which is a simple timer which needs to be reset periodically. If it does not get reset then the watchdog will cause the motherboard itself to reset thus rebooting the system.
Networking, while it may be possible to connect the kiosk to a local area network over WIFI this will only work if the kiosk is within 100m or so of the nearset router. The kiosk could be hard wired using an ethernet cable or you could look at using a 3g modem such as those at Sequoia technology (http://www.sequoia.co.uk) to provide a fast wireless internet connection.
In short, designing systems for use outdoors is a complex task with many pitfalls. If your looking into using kiosks outdoors and need some help then please talk to us first.
