Historic/Cultural Design Solution

Revised – Assignment 3 – Historical Design Solution for a Contemporary Space
Writing Enhanced Requirement (200-points)

Premise – The home owners/clients (ages 40 – 60) of this project like to travel and vacation globally, which has highly influenced them to become collectors of historic cultural art and decorative objects. They are seeking a recommendation on how they can incorporate collected pieces, new and existing, into their home.

The drawings of the residential social space available in class are in ¼” = 1’0” scale. The space can be a living room, family room, great room or den, or dining room with sitting area. This project requires you to develop a design solution for a transitional or contemporary space using a designer quality for today’s home owner. The designed space should include contemporary furniture and interior elements to showcase the collected art and decorative objects (minimum of 6 historic art objects are required, 2 from each of the three selected historic style). This is NOT a TV room but formal entertaining space. As the designer, you will be selecting all furniture, art and decorative pieces as well as interior finishes for the space. The mixture of history art can be from any of the cultures studied listed below.

Historic/Cultural Styles
1. Egyptian 4. Islamic, Persian or Arabic 7. Romanesque
2. Chinese or Japanese 5. Mayan or Native American 8. Gothic
3. African 6. Classical Greek or Roman 9. Renaissance

To develop the design solution, you will use evidence-based design. The mixture and selections of art pieces should reflect research and analysis on how they can be incorporated together as furniture art and decorative objects. One historic style may be used primarily in the selection of furniture and the others in accessories or the historic styles can be both furniture and accessories. Reference the historic analysis from the text, class discussions, and resources from previous assignments. You will support the design solution with both a graphic design board and a written analysis that explains how the design is a designer mixture of styles and why. Selections of manufacturers from the first assignment will be a starting point in your selection and the written design analysis from assignment 2 can be used as a model for the written analysis of this space.
