Interior Design Short Course (n.3)
This week, to wrap my design for the kitchen area, Professor Bicci showed me different samples of kitchen interior and this one in particular is a modular design solution example he showed.
Professor Bicci discussed with me today an example of how resin flooring is done as a cheaper alternative than marble material. We watched several samples on the internet on how it is done.
I was introduced to several kinds of wood materials (laminated wood, veneers, oak, MDF etc.) that can be used for interior design. Today I learned about how and what wood material is best used on a particular area/furniture.
I was also introduced to a couple of metal materials that can also be applied in interior design such as stainless steel, brass, copper, and aluminum.
Professor Bicci briefly explained to me a sample of a technical drawing as my next task for the next couple of weeks. He discussed how it should be done and the placement of each drawing.
This week I designed a dining table made out of brass for a 8-10 seater table. It is designed with a glass top to better appreciate the design of the bottom.
We discussed possible solutions on how the table base can be attached with the glass. Professor Bicci drew a couple of solutions that can be done depending on the aesthetic of the table I want to achieve.
This week I went to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa since it’s a quick train ride away from Florence.
I also went to the beautiful town of Lucca which is also part of Tuscany and is a quick train ride away from Florence. I particularly like the overall ambiance this charming town has.
I spent a beautiful Friday evening watching the sunset in Arno river and I saw a boat in the middle of the river and it was a lovely sight to see.
