The Design Process by Kilmer & Kilmer 2014

Programming

-data gathering stage through surveys and interviews

-site visits

-log observation

-log of daily activities

-matrices, charts and diagrams

-preliminary sketches and drawings

Schematic Design

-graphic presentation of preliminary design

-prepared for first client design presentation

-presentation: Relationship diagrams; blocking and fit plans; preliminary layouts, color and material studies, 3D drawings; study models, presentation boards showing sketches, diagrams, and mixed media materials

Schematic Design

-not yet final but at least 75% approved after the final presentation

-Relationship diagrams; blocking and fit plans; preliminary layouts, color and material studies, 3D drawings; study models, presentation boards showing sketches, diagrams, and mixed media materials

Design Development

-reaching finality, concepts do not change

-Orthographic drawings: plans, elevations, ceiling plans, conceptual diagrams, 3D drawings, colors, materials and finish samples, scale models, multimedia presentation Related Graphics

-no building

Clients and Interior Designer

Who are involved during the Programming, Schematic Design, and Design Development stages in the Design Process?

Interior Designer and builders

Who are involved during the Construction Documents and Contract Administration Stages?

Construction drawings

Set of drawings that allow you to interpret design intent into buildable items. The set of drawings are graphic explanations and communication tool between the designer and a builder. These guide the construction process by depicting a structure's dimensions, installation materials and other factors, and also help ensure local agencies grant the project any necessary permits.

preliminary plans or base plans

How to set-up construction drawings

-___________ or ___________ are required. Coordination with other trades (Architectural, Structural or MEPFS) is necessary so that ID is consistent with other aspects of the project.

-In some cases, if ID works are dependent with what are existing on site. As-builts or present plans can be the basis for ID construction drawings.

-Verification of measurements is necessary for all cases.

-In some cases, if ID works are dependent with what are existing on site. As-builts or precent plans can be the basis for ID construction drawings.

-Verification of measurements is necessary for all cases.

Specifications

________ are written instructions to the general contractor and vendors for the materials, performance standards, and method of construction or installation to be utilized.

These are written in technical terms and usually include what is to be done, how it is to be done, who is to do it, and the standards of materials and performance to be met.

specifications, construction drawings, and legal contracts

In the design field, these _____________, the accompanying _____________, and various _____________ direct the various parties in implementing the solution into physical reality.

Perspective Drawings

Site Development Plans and Floor Plans

Reflected Ceiling Plan

Interior Elevations/Sections

Electrical Plans and other Utility Plans

Detailed drawings of interior elements and casework

Construction Drawing Sheets

Construction Drawings

____________ are the final output needed in order to communicate designs for interior construction.

Change Bulletin

Construction Drawings are final and executory. They should not be changed at any point, except for the issuance of proper _________. They are also the basis of Tender and Project Contracts.

dimensioning, call-outs, line weights

Construction Drawings should be clear and can be understood by those who will execute the designs, observing proper _________, _________ and _________.

trades and disciplines

Construction Drawings are the product of coordination of various ________ and ________ in one project.
