SFL 102 Introduction to Interiors Design Notebook 1: Field Observation Objectives: Raise your awareness of “behaviors, feelings, and perceptions” of interior spaces through observation. Description: Select a residential space (such as a kitchen or living room) that you are not familiar with. Observe how people use the place and act in the space. Specifically note the human behavior that is guided by entrances, furniture, art, and architectural features such as fireplaces, counters, windows, etc. Use this sheet. Limit your answers to the space available below. 1. What space did you observe? I observed my friend Jessi’s kitchen in her new apartment that she recently moved in to. 2. How does the interior space planning (arrangement of the space) influence how people use the space? The space was well arranged and functioned to make a useable kitchen. The entrance was to the side and led to an open area, and the decorations were minimal but brought a “homey” feeling to the space. The counters were kept mostly clear, with a few essential appliances such as a toaster and a microwave in places that allowed them to be used easily but did not make the area feel cluttered.
3. How does the decoration in the space influence human choices and actions? The decorations influence human choices and actions because they are in a very minimalistic style, which allows the people visiting the apartment to not be distracted or overwhelmed by the decoration choices, and instead focus on other things. They also influence human actions because they are very small and out of the way, which allows the room as a whole to feel cohesive and not overwhelming. 4. What were your feelings and perceptions about these spaces? I enjoyed the feelings in this space. It felt comfortable and familiar, even though I had never been there before. I also perceived that this space was an organized and clean one, which helped to emphasize the positive feelings that I felt in the room.
