Department:
Technical Sciences
Course Leader:
conf. Gabriela Mindu
Learning outcomes:
Acquiring the correct technical vocabulary, in-depth knowledge of the main materials and products which are used in interior design.
Knowledge of the main properties and behavior of the materials and products during use and maintenance, toxicity, while observing the valid standards and regulations
Content:
Introduction, technical vocabulary. Mechanical stresses and effects with direct application in interior design. Romanian codes and regulations in the field.
Wood - overview, internal structure, characteristics, drying and protection methods.
Ornamentation-enhancement of materials and products used in constructions, architecture and interior designing.
Natural stone - classification according to geological origin, characteristics. Extraction, processing and usage of the natural stone in constructions, architecture and interior designing.
Ceramic materials and products - classification of clays, processing methods, properties, enhancement (adornment) and usage of ceramic materials and products in works of architecture, construction, design and furniture.
Glass materials and products - composition, properties and manufacturing methods, usage areas in architecture and interior design.
Metals - classification, properties, methods of forming, corrosion and protection methods. Materials and products used in constructions, architecture, design and furniture.
Plastic materials (polymers) - general presentations, characteristics, forming and decoration methods. The main polymers used in interior architecture. Materials, products and areas of use.
Mineral binding materials and composite materials. Composite materials: of high density – mortars, concrete, artificial stones based on mineral bindings; of low density - materials and products used in thermal and acoustic insulations.
Textile materials - general ideas, fibre types and fabrics used in the field of interior design.
Miscellaneous: wet finishes - paints; dry finishes - wall panelling; floorings, suspended ceilings, furniture, flexible floors; polishing plaster coat, glues, adhesives and airtight materials, etc.
Teaching Method:
Lectures illustrated by slideshows.
Introducing materials and products samples.
Discussion on type, characteristics, behaviour in use, toxicity, maintenance. Tests after each seminar - writing and drawings
Assessment:
Continuous and summative assessment:
(50% of the final grade) - evaluation of the activity along the way - relevance of the documentation/organization of the database/course of the study

Final summative assessment:
(50% of the final grade) - written work and practical test (recognition of some materials/products studied during the course)

Final grade = 50% of the exam grade + 50% of the grade obtained in the seminar activity
