2. A number of specific quality emerge out of the wall to express specific character .
Dynamism
Ambience
Perceptible
Proportion
Space illusion
Light absorption
Durability
Acoustics
Thermal effect.
EXPRESSIVE QUALITIES
3. 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
4. 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
5. • 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
6. • 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
7. • 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
8. • 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
9. • 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
10. • 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
11. • 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.
