Abstract:

The article is dedicated a history of the unique furniture collection of the State Tyutchev Memorial estate «Mouranovo». The author put under consideration and systematizes the main house interiors of the Memorial estate according to the furniture styles in 18"1 and 19"1 cent. The owners and creators of the interior and exterior design made all the best for comfort and attractiveness in each room of the «nest of the gentry». Furniture made by European masters was added to some items made by local joiners and wood carvers; Empire style and Biedermeyer complimented one anther, some objects in Jacob style made more prominent some goods created in historical method. The author writes about special things and details in interiors of the main house in the time of the Engelgardts, E. Boratynsky, the Putyatas, the Tyutchevs from early 19th cent, till early 20"´ cent. Special emphasis is made on the importance to preserve some objects which became historical things of the house. The eclecticism in interiors of the Mouranovo memorial estate develops a taste of its visitors till nowdays, harmony of its furniture sets and separate pieces unites not only different styles but different generations, in the same way keeping the base of the nobility family life.

Abstract:

The present study is an analysis of the domestic furniture of the workers of the Industrial Colonies in Catalonia, taking like an example the specific case of the Colony of Borgonyà. The choice of Borgonyà is not a coincidence, the Colony is especially interesting because his peculiar cultural contrast, combining the Scottish heritage in the construction of the houses with the local tradition in furniture. Also, most of the current population of the Colony were workers of the factory, so thanks to their personal testimonies and family pictures, we can make an accuracy reconstruction of the history of the worker’s domestic interiors. Throughout the study, we will identify different qualities and furniture’s typologies related with the different status of the workers. We will recognize rural traditional furniture pieces at the ordinary worker’s houses in contrast of contemporary furniture at the keeper’s houses, with the quality of a middle-class bourgeois family.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to analyze the architecture of residential interiors and furniture making presented at the exhibition in 1912, to indicate the sources of inspiration for designers and to place them in the context of foreign furniture making. The sources of information were the exhibition catalog, press articles, and the archival materials stored in the National Archives in Krakow that had not been used so far, as well as photographs from the collections of the Print Room of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and the Museum of the Jagiellonian University.The interiors and furniture presented by the artists from the society for Polish applied arts (TPSS) at the Krakow exhibition in 1912 perfectly matched the trends prevailing in designing around 1910. How far they were from the curvy-line Art Nouveau. The designers consciously and creatively used their native tradition, especially the furniture making of the Biedermeier period and folk art. On the one hand, Polish artists drew from the architecture of manor interiors, and on the other they were close to the inspiration of an English home. Their projects can be compared with the works of Austrian artists from the circle of the Vienna Workshop and German artists associated with the Deutscher Werkbund. They were a harbinger of simplified, geometrized, folk-inspired, influencing the beauty of the material, Polish furniture of the interwar period. The equipment for the house of a worker and a craftsman being an example of cheap furniture was characterized by solidity, modesty, operating with economical, but noble forms, inspired by folk ornamentation. They were the beginning of attempts by Polish designers to create minimalist, functional, solid and cheap equipment that were continued in the interwar period.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to examine the concept and practice of green building for office interiors: whether the green intent can be effectively implemented in an interior retrofitting project. Design/methodology/approach Reviewing green building rating systems for interiors, examining certified interior projects and interviewing occupants working in certified green offices. Findings The green building credits for interiors fall into three relational layers: the urban context, the host building and interior fit-outs. Most projects under study performed well on credits for interior fit-outs (e.g. low emitting materials, energy efficient equipment and appliances, etc.), while underperformed on credits for its host building (e.g. air-conditioning systems, ventilation, etc.). The latter might more significantly affect working experience. The other important green aspects, such as daylight availability, facilities accessibility, might be subject to its location and urban context. Research limitations/implications This article presents a multi-examination of green interiors. The data came from second-hand Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design scorecards and qualitative interviews. More quantitative surveys are expected to be conducted. Practical implications Green interior retrofitting should go beyond selecting environmental-friendly finishes and furniture or resource-efficient fixtures and appliances. It should proactively start from assessing the environmental performance of the host building and its urban context. Originality/value Most research looked at green building as a whole. Green interiors are actually more practical for tenants who intend to reduce their corporate environmental impacts, whereas they do not have control over whole building design and operations. This article highlights the importance of green interior retrofitting and provides guidance.

Abstract:

Building indoors reconstruction is an active research topic due to the importance of the wide range of applications to which they can be subjected, from architecture and furniture design, to movies and video games editing, or even crime scene investigation. Among the constructive elements defining the inside of a building, doors are important entities in applications like routing and navigation, and their automated recognition is advantageous e.g. in case of large multi-storey buildings with many office rooms. The inherent complexity of the automation of the recognition process is increased by the presence of clutter and occlusions, difficult to avoid in indoor scenes. In this work, we present a pipeline of techniques used for the reconstruction and interpretation of building interiors using information acquired in the form of point clouds and images. The methodology goes in depth with door detection and labelling as either <i>opened, closed or furniture (false positive)</i>

Abstract:

This article is an attempt at outlining key aesthetic standards of interior design of the 1950s and 1960s on the basis of examples exhibited in the Polish and foreign romantic comedies of that time. Some distinguishing features of 1960s Polish aesthetics were the characteristic abstract language, organic form, asymmetry, diagonal lines, arrangements based on “A” and “X” letter outlines and lively colours. Furniture design used new materials mostly plywood and plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and epoxy resins. The 1960s, called “small stabilization” by design historians, were slightly different. Shops offered a variety of new products designed by Polish creators – such as furniture, home appliances, tools and machines. New Polish industrial design of 1960s is represented by the RAMONA and EWA radios and the BAMBINO record player, whereas sectional furniture – especially SYSTEM MK designed by Bogusława and Czesław Kowalski, better known as “the Kowalskis’ furniture” – became the icon of the decade. Polish and foreign romantic comedies from 1950s and 1960s are an excellent iconographic source of information on how interior design changed in the second half of the 20th century, and specifically on how living space was organized and adapted for private and public purposes. In Poland, attempts were made to use all the “design innovations” coming from the west, however, the immutably closed Polish borders prevented them from spreading freely. We had to use local designers. In the 2nd half of the twentieth century, a period which Prof Irena Huml called “the invasion of modernity” started. The doctrine of socialist realism was rejected and the focus was on modernity. Innovation became the most desirable feature of a work of art, and modernity the most important concept.

Abstract:

In recent years, the furniture design trends include ensuring ergonomic standards, development of new environmentally friendly materials, optimised use of natural resources, and sustainably increased conversion of waste into value-added products. The circular economy principles require the reuse, recycling or upcycling of materials. The potential of reusing waste corrugated cardboard to produce new lightweight boards suitable for furniture and interior applications was investigated in this work. Two types of multi-layered panels were manufactured in the laboratory from corrugated cardboard and beech veneer, bonded with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. Seven types of end corner joints of the created lightweight furniture panels and three conventional honeycomb panels were tested. Bending moments and stiffness coefficients in the compression test were evaluated. The bending strength values of the joints made of waste cardboard and beech veneer exhibited the required strength for application in furniture constructions or as interior elements. The joints made of multi-layer panels with a thickness of 51 mm, joined by dowels, demonstrated the highest bending strength and stiffness values (33.22 N∙m). The joints made of 21 mm thick multi-layer panels and connected with Confirmat had satisfactory bending strength values (10.53 N∙m) and Minifix had the lowest strength values (6.15 N∙m). The highest stiffness values (327 N∙m/rad) were determined for the 50 mm thick cardboard honeycomb panels connected by plastic corner connector and special screw Varianta, and the lowest values for the joints made of 21 mm thick multi-layer panels connected by Confirmat (40 N∙m/rad) and Minifix (43 N∙m/rad), respectively. The application of waste corrugated cardboard as a structural material for furniture and interiors can be improved by further investigations.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on possibilities in increasing the user comfort of seating furniture in public waiting interiors. There are several aspects helping to achieve the best comfort of sitting, such as appropriate ergonomic design, shape, or material composition. While every of the said aspects have a significant impact on the final comfort, it would be better, or even essential, to adopt a complex view of this issue. One of the complex ways to increase the user comfort is to observe the interaction of the human (the “user”) with the material. The paper describes tactile properties in the interaction with basic types of materials the public gets in direct contact with when sitting in public waiting interiors. The conducted research focuses on tactile properties leading to contact comfort of the most used materials, and analyses the properties in relation to temperature, roughness, hardness and comfort. The four mentioned tactile properties are essential for our goal – an increase in user comfort. The preferred materials were defined according to a preceding terrain survey which explored what materials are most commonly used for present seating furniture. The paper then presents the methodology and results of the research focusing on interaction between the human user and the material. The results of the said research might prove useful for future designing and development of seating furniture which focuses on the user’s sensational balance and calmness, i.e. the optimal comfort.

Abstract:

This paper examines the interior as a condition that is continuously in production through the arrangement of objects and furniture. This is done along two lines of inquiry. First by examining a few different historical and contemporary conceptions of the domestic interior through the lens of architectural representation. Second by using the technique of laser scanning to document a number of inhabited interiors in two apartment buildings. Through a series of representations, or cloud drawings, produced from the scans, the paper presents three ways of reading the interior: as environments, as assemblies, and as materialities. Departing from Robin Evans’ writing on drawing techniques for representing the interior and their correlation to ways of inhabitation, the paper poses questions around how the understanding of the interior may shift when using emerging techniques for architectural representation. Through readings of Walter Benjamin as well as Sylvia Lavin, the paper discusses such shifts in relation to changes in the conception of the interior and the objects that it contains.

Abstract:

Abstract At the end of the 1950s, 200 coffee tables and other furniture and fittings were created by interior designers who won a design competition organized by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (GNAT) in Ankara. The tables were envisioned to be made by modern ceramic artists and designers of the time. Despite never meeting, they created joint works that were celebrated at the time for their artistic quality. The coffee tables, which were used by government ministers, were useful for introducing ceramics into government interiors while informing the leaders of a modernizing Turkish nation about modern art. This study traces the stories behind the creation of these unique artworks based on the personal stories of Füreya Koral, Sadun Ersin, and the Taylan Ceramics Atelier, who were all significant contributors to the history of this furniture. The method used included literature review, a comprehensive archival research through popular magazines, and interviews with artists and designers of the time. The interviews helped uncover data that could not be accessed otherwise. The findings contribute to Turkish and international design history, uncovering artworks and identifying modernist artists and designers of the time in Turkey.

Abstract:

Many colors scattered in nature give it unique beauty. This diverse color is the most important element of art. Color is very important in any decoration. By proper color combination, any object can be made not only attractive but also its beauty. Can be increased. Through the interior decoration, we currently try to increase the beauty and utility of any building. To decorate a room or building by interior decoration, firstly it is necessary to carefully plan the color used on the walls, curtain floors and furniture within that room, by using the colors used in the room in a particular type. Special expressions can be expressed by creating an environment. प्रकृति में बिखरे अनेक रंग उसे अनुपम सौन्दर्य प्रदान करते है ये विविध रंग कला के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तत्व है किसी भी सज्जा में रंग का बहुत महत्व है उचित रंग संयोजन से किसी भी वस्तु को न केवल आर्कषक बनाया जा सकता है वरन् उस की सुन्दरता को भी बढ़ाया जा सकता है। आंतरिक सज्जा के द्वारा वर्तमान में हम किसी भी भवन की सुन्दरता तथा उपयागिता को बढ़ाने का प्रयत्न करते है। आंतरिक सज्जा द्वारा किसी कमरे या भवन की सजावट करने के लिये सबसे पहले उस कक्ष के भीतर दीवारों, पर्दे फर्श तथा फर्नीचर पर उपयोग में लाये गये रंग का ध्यानपूर्वक नियोजन करना आवश्यक है, कक्ष में उपयोग में लाये गये रंगों के द्वारा एक विशेष प्रकार के वातावरण का निर्माण करके विशेष भाव अभिव्यक्त किये जा सकते है।

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With this paper it is made an analysis of the concepts for organization of the furniture and furnishing of office spaces. Two different aspects are beeing developed, which are intended for two different business structures and entities. The comparative approach for two functional divergent concepts allows clearer insight in the requests, the possibilities and the capacities of the premise for each specific purpose. Through the project analyzes the potential users of the office space would have detailed review and knowledge for the planning and the design procedures of the concrete space. The organization of the furniture and the remaining arrangement vary in the two project varieties created for them and are much depended on the analyzes of the anthropometric and ergonomic principles of design being applied in the development of the project varieties.AIM: The aim of the ergonomic analyzes being shown in the paper is to get quality and comfortable working space, in which the human factor is very important.RESULTS: Through better understanding of the ergonomic parameters, the designer can influence on the health and the safety in the working place. In fact, responsibility and task of each designer is to constantly follow the researches in the field of the ergonomic in order to apply, maintain and improve them while designing the furniture and the interior. In this paper the most frequent ergonomic problems are being covered appearing in separate characteristic working places. Also, the amount of communication and manipulation space is being mentioned. Moreover, the nodes with problematic connections are being mentioned and the opportunities to overcome them. CONCLUSION: Only with quality understanding of the human factor, its working place, the equipment, the working environment and the interaction relationships which exist between them, could the furniture and the interiors be designed in healthy and safe manner to create effective and efficient working systems.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the analysis of thermal comfort in a flat in the new high residential building. Providing the optimal parameters of thermal comfort in each room of the flat is the basic prerequisite for the satisfaction with housing. Incorrect position and size of heating elements, incorrect positioning of the furniture and incorrect use of residential interiors may significantly disturb the thermal comfort. Residential areas in the new residential buildings are much more intensively used as in the other types of buildings. Surface of new flats is the most optimized. Experimental measurements were carried out in the winter season in 2016 in the residential rooms of the large flat in the new high residential building. Device Testo 480 with temperature and humidity sensor, globe thermometer and turbulence sensor was used for the measurements. Obtained values of air temperature, air relative humidity, air velocity, globe temperature and indexes PMV, PPD are presented in the graphs. Heating system of the flat and the possibility of its regulation, positioning and size of the heating elements in the individual rooms, positioning of the furniture and the utilization of rooms were evaluated on the basis of parameters of thermal comfort. In the conclusion of the paper, there are principles on the architectural design of the residential interiors and their heating in the new residential buildings.

Abstract:

Russian-born painter and architect Vladimir Dubenecky (1888–1932) is well known in Lithuania because of valuable architectural legacy created during his living and working in Kaunas in 1919–1932. The aim of the discussion is to open less known side of V. Dubenecky creative work – public interior design. Until now it is little examined theme, so this article will extend the approach to well-known artist’s architectural works, thereby creating additional material for the history of Lithuanian interiors. Only one part of representativeness aspect is discussed in this article, that is the national representation. The representative interior project of the Constituent Seimas, Parliament, (1924) is chosen for the study because of that. The Parliament’s interior project was focused on the conference room equipment and furniture design. Meanwhile the discussion of the design project is studied how the past architectural styles and folk art had been creatively remade in order to create the new style, which was named as National Style during the interwar period. The creative origin of the National style is discussed as well and it is supposed that the National Style started as a continuation of Art Nouveau and a little later it became the part of Art Deco. The National Style worked in order to fulfill one of the main tasks of the interior desig – national representativeness. Inspite of the National Style was widely promoted during the interwar period, other different kinds of representation existed as well: political representation, representation of modernity, representation of power. Several other inter-war Lithuanian representative interiors are mentioned in the article as examples for comparison the different types of representation. They are the Cabinet of Minister’s and the Museum of Vytautas the Great.

Abstract:

Automatic generation of indoor navigable models is mostly based on 2D floor plans. However, in many cases the floor plans are out of date. Buildings are not always built according to their blue prints, interiors might change after a few years because of modified walls and doors, and furniture may be repositioned to the user’s preferences. Therefore, new approaches for the quick recording of indoor environments should be investigated. This paper concentrates on laser scanning with a Mobile Laser Scanner (MLS) device. The MLS device stores a point cloud and its trajectory. If the MLS device is operated by a human, the trajectory contains information which can be used to distinguish different surfaces. In this paper a method is presented for the identification of walkable surfaces based on the analysis of the point cloud and the trajectory of the MLS scanner. This method consists of several steps. First, the point cloud is voxelized. Second, the trajectory is analysing and projecting to acquire seed voxels. Third, these seed voxels are generated into floor regions by the use of a region growing process. By identifying dynamic objects, doors and furniture, these floor regions can be modified so that each region represents a specific navigable space inside a building as a free navigable voxel space. By combining the point cloud and its corresponding trajectory, the walkable space can be identified for any type of building even if the interior is scanned during business hours.

Abstract:

Summary: Few names could be found in the research literature on the Soviet furniture design of the 1950–60s. Neither they are present in the most important historical sources on the subject – the catalogues of all-Union furniture exhibitions, where, as a rule, the mention is made of design organizations that presented certain pieces of furniture to the exhibition, and not the designers themselves. The article offers a method of processing sources that makes it possible to solve this problem. The method is based on the systematization of visual material: numerous photographs of interiors published in the late 1950s and 1960s in various specialized Soviet editions – exhibition catalogues; magazines on architecture and decorative art; advice literature on furnishing a house aimed at a wider public. The article refers to 36 sources (books and articles) with several hundred illustrations. It has been established that the visual material in the advice literature considered consists almost entirely of shots of the four largest furniture exhibitions held in Moscow at the turn of the decade – displays in the mock-up models of the apartments at the Permanent All-Union Exhibition of Construction and Architecture, the Exhibition of All-Union Competition of Furniture for Single-Family Apartments (both 1958), the exhibition “Iskusstvo – v byt” [Art to the Household] and the Second All-Union Furniture Competition (both 1961). The view of one and the same fragment of the display (sometimes even the same picture) in the 1960s publications is reproduced repeatedly. In addition, some pieces of furniture were presented at several exhibitions. Thus, in the sources the images of same piece of furniture was often published many times. Having identified the item in the photos and collected information from various sources related to these images, we could often find evidence of authorship. In this way it is possible to stablish the names of many participants in the four exhibitions mentioned above. In the article they are indicated together with the names of participants of the All-Union Furniture Exhibition of 1956 found in its catalogue (the only exhibition catalogue providing the names of designers) – a total of 82 names. Many of these designers participated not in one, but in several of exhibitions mentioned (some – in all five), many of them were awarded prizes. The analysis of sources allowed, firstly, to identify the most “successful” Soviet furniture designers of the 1950–60s, and, secondly, to attribute to them many of the projects whose authorship previously had not been established. In particular, significant arrays of images associated with the names of Yuri Sluchevsky, Elena Orlova (Bocharova), Konstantin Blomerius (Moscow), Lygija Marija Stapulionienė (Vilnius), Irma Karakis (Kiev) were collected. Of the 82 names given in the article, most are not found in historiography. Their introduction to scientific circulation makes it possible to expand the pool of search for personal archives necessary for further research of Soviet furniture design.

Abstract:

Despite their different aesthetics both modernism and detective fiction engage with, refashion and, at times, critique realism, and the description of objects is central to this. Tracing how certain types of object and relationships with objects feature in works by Virginia Woolf and Agatha Christie in the 1920s reveals that for each author, descriptions of interiors, and particularly the stuff that individuals accumulate in their homes, is central, and the presence of belongings vies with the absence of their owners. Considering the valences of furniture, scrap paper and curios shows how possessions continue to speak of the real even in writing that challenges realist modes of representation.

Abstract:

The extraction of permanent structures (such as walls, floors, and ceilings) is an important step in the reconstruction of building interiors from point clouds. These permanent structures are, in general, assumed to be planar. However, point clouds from building interiors often also contain clutter with planar surfaces such as furniture, cabinets, etc. Hence, not all planar surfaces that are extracted belong to permanent structures. This is undesirable as it can result in geometric errors in the reconstruction. Therefore, it is important that reconstruction methods can correctly detect and extract all permanent structures even in the presence of such clutter. We propose to perform semantic scene completion using deep learning, prior to the extraction of permanent structures to improve the reconstruction results. For this, we started from the ScanComplete network proposed by Dai et al. We adapted the network to use a different input representation to eliminate the need for scanning trajectory information as this is not always available. Furthermore, we optimized the architecture to make inference and training significantly faster. To further improve the results of the network, we created a more realistic dataset based on real-life scans from building interiors. The experimental results show that our approach significantly improves the extraction of the permanent structures from both synthetically generated as well as real-life point clouds, thereby improving the overall reconstruction results.

Abstract:

The era of Colonization in Indonesia left many architecture and interior influence. For many years, colonizers especially Dutch and English have developed many architectural building which included their interior elements. Bandung, is one of the cities which enjoyed massive influence of Dutch colonialism design. However the change of people way of living and conducting business, change the city area planning. Most of residential areas now have becoming commercial/business area. Houses area are being leased or sold to be transformed into offices, cafes, restaurant or being entirely demolished into new buildings. There are still residential buildings from this era which are being kept as it is.Either by the owner and endorsed by the appeals of communities intended to preserve them as historical buildings. However there are not yet efforts to preserve the interior elements, especially the furnitures. Hence there are little knowledge about the development of furnitur design as a result of living culture of this period. The ones left are difficult to study as furnituer has shorter life span than building so it could be already altered, moved or sold. And in the meantime new furnitures could be acquired.Hence, it is the intention of this research to study what is left of furnitur from colonialization era in this paticular residential house. To try to documents and analyze what style and influence the commonly called â€œDutch Furnitureâ€ by Indonesian antique dealers and also by the people in general.. This research will try to find out how and why this particular style still exist through the colonialism era in Indonesia to be compared to the development of styles in the European world.

Abstract:

Background:Today, polyurethane foams can be found in various commercial products such as bedding, home furniture, automotive interiors and even construction materials. From a chemical point of view, polyurethane foams are made from a chemical reaction between a polyol (molecules with more than one hydroxyl group) and a diisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent.Objective:Because of their highly stable bonds, polyurethane foams are considered as nondegradable leading to some environmental impact. To address this concern different bio-based fillers have been used to create "greener" polyurethane materials. This review presents an overview of different bio-based fillers and containing natural polyols for polyurethane foams formulation with respect to their natural properties, sizes, geometries and contents.Method:A wide range of bio-based fillers derived from wood and non-wood sources are summarized based on their physico-mechanical properties. Then, possible applications are presented and future trends are discussed for the research and development of these complex (multiphase systems) materials (polymer composite foams).Conclusion:Beside traditional polyurethane foams applications including automotive, building, home furniture and package, bio-based filler addition could bring new feature and widen their applications such as shape memory and medication, as well as oil absorbent.

Abstract:

Brazil has several forest species that can be used for sustainable wood production. However, finding materials with technological quality is still a challenge. Wood is an excellent building material, however, there are few studies that have investigated the technological characterization, machining and processing of these species, including Mezilaurus itauba (Meisn.) Taub. Ex Mez. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the technical characteristics and application potential of M. itauba wood from two distinct commercial lots, by analyzing its mechanical properties and performing machining tests. For this, static bending, dynamics and machining tests were carried out. The perpendicular compression tests of the evaluated fibers presented mean values of 9899.77 Mpa and 10670.74 Mpa for the elasticity module of lot 1 and lot 2, respectively. The average value observed for the L1 rupture module was 96.02 Mpa, while for L2 it was 113.85 Mpa. For the shear tests, low variation was observed between the specimens as well as between the evaluated lots. As for machining tests, M. itauba wood was classified as excellent for manufacturing furniture and internal openings. The M. itauba lots have acceptable mechanical strength, and the density is indicated for structural works, as well as for manufacturing furniture and interiors.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the second stage of architectural and design activity of Hector (Hector) Guimar (1867–1942), during which his unique style was finally formed. During the period from 1900 to 1912, following the traditions of «total design», the architect was engaged not only in the design of residential and public buildings, but also in the decorative design of their facades and interiors, furniture, tableware, elements of technical equipment. He compiled a catalog of metal decorative elements for their serial production, published a set of advertising cards of his best works. The most well-known architectural designs are made in Guimard’s style, such as the house Jassede at Versailles (1903), Hotel Deron-Levent (1907), Castel d’Orgeval (1904–1905), Villa Surprise (1903-1907), Hôtel Guimard (1909–1912), Hôtel Mez-zara (1910–1911).

Abstract:

This article examines the impact on American furniture and clothing styles by women missionaries traveling to Turkey in the Victorian era. Although there has been much discussion of the impact of Western missionaries on Turkey and other parts of Asia, the reciprocal impact on American culture has not been adequately assessed. Missionary work, which started in the 1820s in a modest manner, turned into a systematic and large-scale activity, reaching its climax during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Unlike Western diplomats, whose visits took place in the palaces of Istanbul, far from the realities of everyday life, missionary women had informal contact with ordinary Turkish women. Ottoman Turkish domestic space was highly gendered, so only these missionary women would have had access to authentic Ottoman Turkish interiors and been able to observe them as social spaces. The furniture style and the unique concept of comfort that they observed in Turkey presented an alternative point of view of home life and its organization. After spending years abroad, these women would return to the US to recruit and raise money for their missions by traveling from community to community, often creating interest for their work abroad by presenting examples of material culture. This article will put letters, diaries, travelogues and other contemporary material in the context of American culture of the Victorian era in order to chart the unusual way in which American and Turkish women interacted with each other at this historical moment.

Abstract:

Este trabajo estudia la decoración interior de las celdas benedictinas en España durante los siglos XVII y XVIII. Esta investigación se basa en el análisis de unas cartas redactadas por los monjes visitadores de la Orden de San Benito que recogían comentarios sobre el modo de vida y la observancia que se seguía en los monasterios. Hemos examinado estas epístolas para encontrar referencias que nos permitan conocer la ornamentación, los muebles y los objetos que había en las habitaciones privadas. Los datos que hemos localizado demuestran que los benedictinos se rodearon de suntuosos enseres con los que hicieron alarde de su gusto barroco a partir de un lujoso mobiliario que, si bien les alejó de la pobreza y sencillez monacal, vinculó a estos monjes a la moda y la estética de su tiempo.This paper studies the interior decoration of the Benedictine cells in Spain during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This research is based on the analysis of some letters written by the so-called visitor monks of the Order of Saint Benedict who collected comments on lifestyle and the religious observance which was followed inside the monasteries. We have examined these epistles to find references that can allow us to know how the ornamentation, furniture and objects placed in the private rooms were. The data that we have located show how the Benedictines were surrounded by sumptuous furnishings with which they flaunted their Baroque lifestyle, from luxurious furnishings that moved them away from their original monastic poverty and simplicity, linking them to both fashion and the aesthetics of their time.

Abstract:

Objective: This study aimed to explore people’s visual preference for waiting areas in general hospital environments designed with transparency attributes that fully integrate nature. Background: Waiting can be a tedious and frustrating experience among people seeking healthcare treatments and negatively affect their perception of the quality of care. Positive distractions and supportive designs have gained increasing attraction to improve people’s waiting experience. Nature, which has shown therapeutic effects according to a growing amount of evidence, could be a distinguished positive distraction in waiting areas. Additionally, the theory of transparency was operationalized to indicate a spatial continuity between the external nature and the built interiors in general healthcare waiting area design. Method: A survey method was adopted in the study. Twenty-one images of general healthcare waiting areas depicting three design typologies were preselected following a strict procedure, including designs with (a) no window views, (b) limited window views to nature, and (c) transparent spaces with maximum natural views. Ninety-five student participants rated the images based on their visual preference using a Likert-type scale. Results and Conclusions: The results showed that transparent waiting areas were significantly preferred. A significant positive relationship existed between the level of transparency and people’s preference scores. The factor analysis indicated additional supportive features that may affect people’s preferences, including daylight, perceived warmth, noninstitutional furniture arrangement, visual orientation, and the use of natural materials for interior design. However, these tentative results need to be furthered tested with the real patient population as the next step of this study.

The article is devoted to the creative heritage of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928), the outstanding Scottish architect and Margaret MacDonald Macintosh (1865–1933), his wife, an artist-designer. Their life and main character traits which predetermined the choice of their future profession are considered. A brief overview is given to the main stages of their professional development. In the Glasgow School of arts they organized the famous creative group „The Four‟ which created a unique Glasgow style. They participated in international exhibitions of Art Nouvea, engaged in successful architectural and design practice including the development of unique geometrical pictures and Macintosh style furniture, floral and landscape paintings. The paper describes the tragic end of their creative career, departure from Glasgow, posthumous rehabilitation and international recognition. Their style preferences in the world architecture and design are shown as well specific features of their unique style. The articlepresents three of the most famous design projects of the Macintosh spouses made in the tradition of Glasgow style. Here belong interiors of Cranston tea rooms, Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland and Bassett-Lowke Northampton house. At present, many Macintoshes works are successfully restored, their museums and exhibitions are organized.

Abstract:

The article is a fragment of the author’s more extensive study The museum shop. Its role and significance in modern museum, written as a student of the Postgraduate Museum Studies at the University of Warsaw. Based on interviews and both questionnaire and visual surveys, it presents issues pertaining to the location of museum shops within the museum’s premises, correlation between the shop’s assortment on offer and the museum’s programme, as well as the awareness of museum executive managers as to the versatility of such shops’ potential. In many cases the museum shops are being neglected which shows in their underinvestment, lack of care, unattractive offer and unfriendly spatial arrangement. It is hard to understand such approach especially that shops are in most cases the final accent of a visit to the museum. The author underlined the significance of projects intending to modernise the spatial arrangement of museum shops. They envisage the transformation of a shop into a space for the pleasant pastime, relaxation to release a museum fatigue; an opportunity to see and purchase publications giving a deeper insight into just visited expositions. In conclusion, the author points to the abundance of interdisciplinary research which may and should include the subject of museum shop. She draws attention to issues concerning, inter alia: selection and competence of shop personnel, placement within an organisational structure, cooperation with lessees, stock replenishment and budgeting of the shop. Furthermore, the scope of the conducted research included the adaptation of both historic and modern interiors for museum shop purposes, furnishings (interior design, furniture, lighting), presence of exclusive items appreciated by connoisseurs, marketing, promotion, as well as the use of new media in the image- -building of the shop.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article positions multidisciplinary artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis at the center of a web that spans Vienna 1900, the Weimar Bauhaus, and interwar Vienna. Using a network metaphor to read her work, she is understood here as specialist of the ars combinatoria, in which she recombines genre and media in unexpected ways. She translates the language of photograms into painting, ecclesiastical subject matter into a machine aesthetic, adds found objects to abstract paintings, and paints allegories and scenes of distortion in the idiom of New Objectivity, all the while designing stage sets, costumes, modular furniture, toys, and interiors. While she has been the subject of renewed attention, particularly in the design world, much of her fine art has yet to be assessed. She used the idioms of twentieth-century art movements in unusual contexts, some of these very brave: in interwar Vienna, where she created Dadaistic posters to warn of fascism, she was imprisoned and interrogated. Always politically engaged, her interdisciplinary and multimedia approach to art bridged the conceptual divide between the utopian and critical responses to war during the interwar years. Such engagement with both political strains of twentieth-century modernism is rare. After integrating the interdisciplinary lessons of Vienna and the Weimar Bauhaus into her life's work, she shared these lessons with children at Terezín.
