Philosophy,
Interior Architect (Design ) is an embodiment of 'a way of life' and the values that determine its path. The 'design process' is closer to the one experienced by an artist while creating a work of art. Of course, the site, context, materials and function do play a role in defining the actual design moves and these get absorbed and internalized to aid the design process unselfconsciously. A successful work of Interior design has SIMPLICITY & CLARITY with crystallization of design thought and moves to a degree that the design is simple, almost austere. The construction techniques and materials are used to explore all their intrinsic qualities like strength, density, and texture in their bare HONEST form. A constantly changing experience jogs the mind constantly and it continues to absorb and react to the built environment making it PLAYFUL. Constant play between two contrasts like changing views, light and shadow, change in axis, smooth and rough texture, hard and soft landscape. Each one enhances the opposite by contrast in close proximity. There is always a duality at play - two opposite materials, two colors, two spaces, two geometries and two textures.
Eventually the built environment consists of SPACES, which are sensed through a play of LIGHT. These are the both, the tools as well as the end products in architecture & Interiors .
