The first place I analyzed was a small office and a large church. I talked about contrast between the two sizes of the buildings, which refers to the scale of them. Tehnological advances were achieved before the making of the tall church, such as: architectural and engineering advances as well as material advances. In the 2nd video (uploaded on canvas due to technical problems) I talked about the contrast between 2 materials on the Hunt Morgan House. The red brick against the white/ grey stone was a contrast between 2 materials and 2 colors. In the third video I talked about pattern. There was a pattern on the church's stained glass window. (this wasn't the same church as in the first video) When light hits the glass window, color will appear more vibrant. The color and the glass are both technological advances. The stained glass makes up color, line, texture, and shape.

The buildings' exterior is important because it's the structure of the building. It holds many technological advancements.
These lights were something I found interesting because of the way they grab your attention and add to the overall feel of the interior.
An elevator is an obvious technological advancement. But what's notable here is the material usage, which is also a technological advancement.
This is an architectural advancement. The usage of materials are modern.
I found this table with plugs so that you could plug in something and charge it.
One of the most notable things I found here was the table with the charging station. Not only is this a technological advance, but it caters to people, because many students have laptops that they need to charge. This adds to the human experience in that you can simply charge your phone or laptop from a simple table. Other things that add to the human experience are the use of materials throughout the building. Metal and glass are used a lot throughout the space, which is a technological advance and it also makes the room sleek and modern. I found that the space produces a comforting but energetic environment through the use of the interesting lighting fixtures. The neutral colors, lights, glass, and other textiles, create a cohesion of a modern space that makes students' experiences a positive one.

This technically advanced chair has neon lights that you're able to sit on. This chair is compelling because of the use of light that functions as a chair.
I find the use of technically advanced materials to be interesting. It's interesting how the designer chose to use faux leather and metal. These two materials come together and give the chair a sleek look.
Technology is changing interior design and how designers
can design spaces for clients. For example, virtual reality allows you to
see a room like you would in real life except it is digital. The client can personally
experience what their room will look like before actually remodeling or making
the room. Technology has also changed the way designers and clients
communicate. Instead of describing or drawing what a potential room could look
like, designers can make it on their computer or tablet.
Technology,
light + color is connected in a few ways. Artificial lighting is technology and
there have been new developments for lighting. For example, there are sheets of
plastic that can be put on your walls and used as lighting. There’s also many
other lighting inventions.
Technology
can be linked to other units we have had. For example, my case study building had
many arches which is a technological advancement. That can be liked to unit one
because of the lines of the arch, also there were different scales of the
arches. There were some arches that were smaller and the main one that was
connected to the opening of the building, was very large compared to humans. Technology
can be sometimes used to describe buildings, like if the building has lots of
technology. You could also describe spaces using their technological advancements
because technically, about everything in a building is a technological advance
in some way.

Technology being incorporated into textiles creates many new
opportunities for the usability of things. These new things that are being
developed such as wall coverings that control temperature, shows that
comfortability is important in interior design. I see positive outcomes with
the new technologies being created. For example, the Organic Light Emiting Diod
conserves 50% of lighting energy. The article also states how they are working
on a project to have plastic sheets of light, eliminating electricity usage and
costs. I don’t think new technologies will take away the traditional creativity
that interior designers have. If anything it will make them more creative in finding
the best materials/items relevant to their clients’ needs.
