EXPRESSIVE QUALITIES

Walls become active to the degree that their design an material arouse visual Interest especially if they suggest movement .They are used storage or displays of collections and also they are integrated with built infurniture.

The main reception area is a double height space, echoing the proportions of the colonnade, creating a ‘grand lobby’ ambience with a distinctive feature

AMBIENCE

A feeling of dynamism is expressed in a room produce the feeling of organised , energetic & formality is established . Symmetrical balance & pronounce regurlarity are the fundamental means to achieve this .When wall surface are smooth and proportionate , it makes one feel upright in a formal wall .

DYNAMISM

• Here the range is from glossy, smoothness to stony, roughness with countless intermediate steps provided by plaster and wall, tile and brick, wood and plaster.

• A basic pattern of companionable surface texture gives a sense of coherence, but variety and contrast are needed to stimulate it.

PERCEPTIBLE

• The scale of the walls in relation to the size of the space, the character of furnishings and the personalities of the people influence the space illusion.

• The scale of the stone walls appear large in the big rooms , and small in tiny sitting rooms. Large scale is produced by tile, bold textures.

• It reduces visual space but is impressive moderate to small – scale walls make rooms more spacious and home like.

PROPORTION

• Enclosure is brought about by opaque, substantial looking walls, by warm dark colors and noticeable texture by small separated, framed doors, and by windows with small panes and protective draperies.

• Openness come with a maximum of transparent, translucent or apparently thin, unobtrusive walls and with a minimum of walls that block view or movement.

SPACE ILLUSION

• Colour value is one of the most critical factor in light absorption and reflection.

• Light colour walls are refreshing , increase apparent size makes room easier to light up , and are effective background for anything placed against them.

• White reflects 89% of light reflecting it and black as little as 2%.

LIGHT ABSORPTION

• The amount of time and money needed to maintain walls affects the extent of satisfaction they give.

• Strong materials like masonry, tile and vinyl plaster are durable and easily maintained anywhere.

• Some fragile material like glass, mirror needs regular care.

DURABILITY

• Small houses and open plans with lightweight furniture, allows greater freedom for children to move around freely, but generate noise.

• The trend of keep away from large upholstered furniture and heavy draperies make the interiors noisy and reflect sound.

ACOUSTICS

• In the intrest of economy and comfort, the extent of heat – cold emitted by the wall surface to its environment insulation is significant.

• Glass walls absorb heat, while the thick insulated walls restrain radiation.
