Brainstorm

The Stickiness Factor and Interior & Environmental Design.

I found brainstorming as a group an interesting process, it was beneficial to hear from others their ideas about the chapter and how this relates to Interior and Environmental Design. Something that kept re-occurring through the brainstorming session and also through my personal discussions with others was that interior design can often be stereotyped into design something pretty or extravagant. This, however, is not always the case sometimes Interiors can be designed in such a way as to improve the quality of people's life.

Group Session- The Stickiness Factor & IED

Through group discussions I found particular interests in the idea of Desiging for education. It was whilst thinking of different ways of educating that I started to think about designing for those who maybe need particular help or benefit from being in a certain situation. This led me to research into designing for people living with Autism and I found a presentation by The Scottish Society for Autism. This presentation helped me to understand that Interior design is exceptionally important to people with Autism. Everything from the amount of space or colours used in a classroom is carefully designed so as to help concentration and also provide safe ans comfortable surroundings.
