Color planning in today's healthcare environments is a challenge for interior designers due to the diverse occupants who may establish different meanings of environmental colors based on their backgrounds and life experiences. Researchers have shown the close relationship between color perception and patients' mental and/or emotional attitudes. Mor...
Int:erior designers utilize a systematic, human-centric design process to identify and solve problems. This design process is well documented in the iiterature and focuses on interior designers' understanding ofhuman behaviors and how people's physical, social, and psychological needs are met through design of interior environments. To to this, int...
A critical question in interior design is how multisensory information is integrated into occupant perception and interpretation of the environmental contexts and meanings. Although there have been efforts to identify and theorize visual perception of interior factors or features (e.g., colors, fixtures, and signs), the hidden meanings behind visua...
Human perception has long been a critical subject of design thinking. While various studies have stressed the link between thinking and acting, particularly in spatial experience, the term “design thinking” seems to disconnect conceptual thinking from physical expression or process. Spatial perception is multimodal and fundamentally bound to the bo...
This perspective article, looking through the lens of neurodiversity, discusses the benefits and challenges of implementing virtual environments and wearable technologies in interior design and related fields. While the relationship between human perception and built environments has long been studied in the environmental design disciplines, the di...

Implementing scientific measures in design research has continuously drawn researchers’ attention. Despite the calls for the application of neuroscience in design, its utilization in practice has been lacking. This quasi-experimental study implementing eye-tracking examined how the interi...
Occupant experience in built environments is bound to the body that is not a mere receptacle of the sensory stimuli but a holistic mechanism of spatial perception. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of perception (1945/2012) emphasizes the subjective sensory processes of the lived body, "being a self of movement" or "feeling of doing," tie the three asp...
The multimodality of human senses plays an essential role in one's spatial experience, and; the visual perceives the surroundings and responds to the sensory attributes. The scope of research on visual attention has been broadened encompassing psychophysics, cognitive neuroscience, and computer science, and eye-tracking is one of the methods increa...
Sensory experience in built environments is highly complex, and the multimodality of human perception plays a crucial role in interior occupants' spatial experiences. This study explored how visual attention to the interior elements of commercial settings was affected by auditory stimuli, involving eye-tracking experiments and semi-structured inter...
This study investigates how the interior colors of an urban marketplace built in a reused and repurposed historic building relate the interior settings to the context of the cityscape. This case study of Ponce City Market in Atlanta aimed to identify 1) the color schemes of the cityscape, the interior structures of the marketplace, and its graphic...

The human experience is bound to the body. Space is experienced and becomes meaningful only when the lived body is present in the context of the space. This study discusses how the relationship between body, space, and time was explored through cross-disciplinary studio practice that involved design, dance, and music.
Since color is fundamentally informative, people learn about and interpret their surroundings while perceiving environmental colors. Research has found the close relationship between people's backgrounds and life-experiences and their perception of and emotional responses to environmental colors. Due to the subjective nature of individuals' color-a...
Issue Interior design students often struggle while transforming abstract inspirations to tangible forms and space. Research has suggested that narrative methods may help students use their imagination in such a process, while raising a concern that using the me thods may also interfere students' visual presentation of their ideas (Danko, Meneely,...
Concept" is an intangible property of design that is often considered ambiguous in its definition. The multidisciplinary approach of this study to design thinking, which encompasses art, design, and social sciences, discusses about the process in which entry-level interior design students learn about people's spatial experience and design concept i...
This study proposes a teaching model that promotes students’ creative and innovative design thinking in designing an experiential space. Interior design is a multifaceted discipline where designers engage human experience in their complex design process. To thrive in the profession, interior design students learn how to organize and analyze large a...
The study proposes a pedagogical framework "a triad of sociocultural sustainability of design: context, content, and meaning," which details the social dimension of sustainability. This article introduces the concepts and factors of the three constituents-context, context, and meaning-and explains how the framework has been used in teaching design...
This paper presents findings related to symbolic interactionism in the development and interpretation of art installations. It stems from three projects created by the first author: Attrition, Contrition and Babel Amidst an Arising. This paper looks at symbolic interactionism as a proactive tool used by the artist first to engage the observer; seco...
Promoting students' creative thinking and effective visual communication can lead them to successful studio coursework (Hasirci & Demirkan, 2007). This study presents the collaborative teaching strategies used in two entry-level interior design courses, Concept Studio and Studio I, to enhance students' leaning. Problem Interior design educators-as...
오늘날의 정보화 시대를 살아가는 우리는 세계 각지에서 일어나는 많은 일들을 실시간으로 접할 수 있다. 20세기 중반 이후 생산기술의 발전이 디자인의 혁신을 가속 화시켰듯이, 20세기 후반의 정보산업의 발달은 국가간의 교류를 활성화시킨 원동력이 되었다. 이러한 변화와 함께 진행된 세계화는, 1970년대 초 경제성장과 시장성 향상을 목표로 북미와 유럽 국가들의 주도하에 시작되었다. 정치학자 녜(Joseph Nye)는'세계 화(globalism)' 를 세계의 균형된 발전을 위한 국가간의 상호교류라고 정의하였다. 1) 세 계화의 과정을 일컫는'글로벌라이제이션(globalization)' 2) 에는 경제, 기술, 사회문화, 정치...
Recently, security issues have been dominating the headlines and policy makers’ lists of promises. Although the notion of security has long been integral to interior design, the current reliance of security measures on surveillance systems that use cameras and video monitors warrants revisiting the role of interior designers. With an overview of th...
