Construction Concept

ConstructionConstruction concept and concept are not natural bedfellows so I explain basic construction principles and relationships of components. It is about how things come together. I propose a new word ‘Interadapt’ which is about what interior design does to a building. I describe two basic fixing relationships: fixing to structure and object to object. This involves structure to support systems; from doors to furniture; shelving and stairs. I ask the question of what is expressed simply to emphasise how important a contribution construction makes towards defining the character and concept of the final interior. I provide examples including the tricky element of glass, which deals with the notion of transparency. Sustainable construction is the ultimate goal in reducing the carbon footprint and reducing greenhouse gases. This means that we try and specify recyclable and renewable materials in building projects and minimise energy consumption and waste production. Green construction is clean, sustainable construction. It involves minimising any negative effects of building projects on the environment and communities, whilst making the finished structure as environmentally friendly as possible.
