INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior decoration or decor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, wall decals, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets. In some cases, interior decorating is performed professionally by certified interior decorators (C.I.D.)

Although the terms interior decorating and interior design are sometimes used interchangeably, each discipline exhibits a distinct difference in its scope. Interior decorating is generally focused on the selection and presentation of interior items within a space, such as furniture, accessories, finishes and room layout. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space.

Interior architecture bridges the practices of interior design and architecture so that professionals working in the field have a structural and load bearing education with an emphasis on interior spaces. The field is similar to architecture in that it deals with structures and load bearing walls. It is similar to interior design in that it focuses on interior spaces.

The National Center for Education Statistics's definition of Interior Architecture: "A program that prepares individuals to apply architectural principles in the design of structural interiors for living, recreational, and business purposes and to function as professional interior architects. Includes instruction in architecture, structural systems design, heating and cooling systems, occupational and safety standards, interior design, specific end-use applications, and professional responsibilities and standards."

In the United States, what is considered "interior design" is called "interior architecture." However, a practicing professional cannot use the title of "Interior Architect" unless they complete the requirements for becoming a licensed architect.

In mainland Europe (that is excluding the anglo-Saxon countries) the term "Interior Architecture" is generally used. In many European countries the use of the title "Interior Architect" is legally regulated. For more information see ECIA

INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior design is a practice concerned with anything that is found inside a space - walls, windows, doors, finishes, textures, light, furnishings and furniture. All of these elements are used by interior designers to develop a functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing space for a building's users.

The work of a interior designer draws upon many disciplines including environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan the spaces of almost every type of building including: hotels, corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences, shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals. Today, interior designers must be attuned to architectural detailing including: floor plans, home renovations, and construction codes.

Tips Persiapan Dan Saat Menghadapi Gempa Bumi

Awal September 2007, wilayah Sumatra, tepatnya Propinsi Bengkulu, dikagetkan dengan bencana gempa bumi yang mencapai 6,9 SR. Berdasarkan informasi dari media massa elektonik, akibat gempa bumi tersebut merengut korban jiwa sedikitnya 6 orang dan warga mengalami kerugian yang tidak sedikit. Bangunan-bangunan seperti sekolah, rumah sakit, pusat perbelanjaan pun tidak luput dari kerusakan akibat gempa tersebut.
Untuk itu, kita perlu mengetahui persiapan dan langkah yang harus dilakukan saat menghadapi gempa agar terhindar dari runtuhan perabotan dan bangunan.

Persiapan sebelum terjadi gempa
1. Merenovasi ulang struktur bangunan tempat tinggal
2. Memperhatikan letak pintu, lift, dan tangga darurat di lingkungan tempat tinggal dan tempat kerja, serta tempat yang memungkinkan aman untuk berlindung ketika terjadi gempa.
3. Belajar melakukan P3K dan mengetahui bagaimana menggunakan Pemadam Kebakaran
4. Mencatat nomor telpon penting yang dapat dihubungi pada saat terjadi gempa
5. Perabotan seperti, lemari dan cabinet diatur menempel pada dinding dengan cara di paku atau diikat untuk menghindari jatuh atau bergeser pada saat terjadi gempa.
6. Simpanlah bahan yang mudah terbakar ditempat yang tidak mudah pecah, agar terhindar dari kebakaran.
7. Usahakan meletakkan benda yang berat sedapat mungkin berada pada bagian bawah.
Tindakan Saat Terjadi Gempa
Berada didalam ruangan/bangunan
1. Bila berada di dalam bangunan, berlindunglah di bawah meja yang besar dan kokoh. Karena semakin besar bendanya, maka semakin kuat benda tersebut dan semakin kecil kemungkinannya untuk terluka akibat reruntuhan.
2. Selain itu, Doug Copp, Kepala Penyelamat dan Manajer Bencana dari American Rescue Team International (ARTI), tim penyelamat paling berpengalaman di dunia, sangat menyarankan untuk berlindung di samping suatu benda seperti di samping sofa, di samping benda besar yang kemungkinan akan remuk sedikit tapi menyisakan ruangan kosong di sebelahnya. Contohnya jika anda berada di tempat tidur pada saat gempa terjadi, bergulinglah ke samping tempat tidur, atau berbaring meringkuk di sebelah sofa atau kursi besar.
3. Bila tidak ada, lindungilah kepala dengan bantal atau benda lainnya.
4. Jauhi rak buku, almari dan jendela kaca.
5. Jangan berdiri di belakang pintu saat terjadi gempa, karena pintu tersebut dapat rubuh ke depan atau ke belakang dan anda akan tertimpa langit-langit di atasnya.
6. Berlari keluar bangunan apabila masih dapat dilakukan.
7. Jika gempa cukup kuat jangan gunakan tangga, karena tangga memiliki "momen
frekuensi" yang berbeda, sehingga tangga akan berayun terpisah dari bangunan utama. Tangga akan menjadi bagian bangunan yang paling mungkin untuk rusak.
Berada di luar bangunan
1. Jauhi bangunan tinggi, dinding, tebing terjal, tiang listrik, papan reklame, pohon yang tinggi, dsb untuk menghindar dari tertimpanya benda-benda tersebut.
2. Usahakan dapat mencapai daerah yang terbuka seperti lapangan.
3. Jangan berhenti di atas jalan layang atau dibawah jembatan/kolong tol.
4. Bila getaran gempa kuat, keluarlah dari dalam kendaraan, karena orang-orang yang berada di dalam kendaraan akan tertimpa reruntuhan bahan bangunan tinggi atau jalanan di atasnya runtuh dan akibatnya meremukkan kendaraan seperti yang terjadi pada lantai-lantai jalan tol Nimitz.
