INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN SPACE DESIGN: INDUSTRIAL STYLE

The industrial–style designs affecting today’s perception of designs in a huge velocity has emerged first by the industrial revolution. Although being time–dependent and taking longer time and economically highcost product, the handcraft has allowed the industrial designs to have been rapidly materialized through mass production and have been low-cost economically. Even though William Morris and Philip Webb–designed Red House / Arts and Crafts movement was the sign against mass production and mechanization in England in 1860s, it has not been able to resist the power of industrial production. Due to post–20th century arisen significance of reconciliation and interdisciplinary studies, the interest felt for the industrial designs has enhanced. Considering the common benefits of not only to the designers and but also to the users, the industrial designs have been offering innovation to the user by getting integrated with technology of a space generated in the industry being oriented towards function and form of an object. By selecting the components separately as per products to be employed inside a space, opportunity is being conferred to the special designs. Upon unique combination of separate parts, alternative spaces have been emerging. New materials, current developments, technology and innovation are effective on this style. In current venues from hotels to offices and from restaurants to conference halls, industrially designed products and venue formations are being seen. There are designers and offices adopting exclusively this style. Within the scope of study, selecting samples of different venues with styles designed industrially from World and Turkey, they shall be addressed in terms of space organization and fittings. Upon completion of analysis of samples, the tables under following titles shall be constituted by making analysis among the venues. The structural materials used in the venue–analysis of ceiling, wall and floor materials, lighting fixtures–like overall and local lighting fixtures, accessories, mainly equipment and accessories like–seats–chairs–tables shall be examined. In the venues of this style, dimmed light providing fixtures for Edison bulb, produced from iron bar, controlled natural light being admitted into space, brick-covered surfaces, flooring tiles laid in different colors, solid wood products, independent accessories, Thonet chairs, blackboard bearing handwriting hereon are being frequently seen. Selected materials and distribution of units from the venue shall be evaluated in the study. Due to being open for consumption of this new design language offering difference and creativity to the user, I believe that it shall not be long–lasting nevertheless; outcome of the study is in nature of giving guidance to the designers who wish to make industrial type of designs and to those who shall draw up project in the area with specific classifications.
