Cards

Term
design intent
Definition
The _____ _____ is the approach the designer and owner decide to take to satisfy the program requirements and specific needs arising from these requirements.
Term
Constraints
Definition
_______ are the given conditions within which a detail must perform and over which the designer has little or no control.
Term
design development
Definition
During the late _____ _______ stage of a project, the budget for the job will have been well established.  Any design detailing work the interior designer does must fit within the overall cost limitations.
Term
Material permeability
Definition
Can it resist moisture, or mist it be protected with coating or by some other mechanical means?
Term
Material Durability
Definition
Will aging, building movement, and other forms of deterioration cause the material to crack or break up, allowing water to penetrate?
Term
Aggravating circumstances
Definition
Will other conditions, such as pressure, puncture, or abuse, cause a normally water-resistant detail to leak?
Term
Capillary action
Definition
Does the material have tiny joints or holes that can admit water
Term
Sealants
Definition
Have the proper type of sealnts been selected for the type of material used and for the expected movement of the joint? Is the backup material correct, and is the sealant installed with the correct dimensions?
Term
Constructablility
Definition
__________ includes the requirements produced by the detail itself, regardless of its design intent or functional needs.  A detail may add to the design intent of the project, meet all of the constraints and solve the functional problems, but may be impossible to build.
Term
Connection
Definition
________ refers to the way the various parts of the detail are attached to one onother and to the sustrate.
Term
Structure
Definition

_______ refers to the strength required by the detail to resist the forces applied to it as well as its own weight and loading.

Term
Movement
Definition
_______ as a constructablility element of detailing includes making provisions for both movement of the detail (if any) and of the building that the detail must accomodate.
Term
tolerance
Definition
The amount of allowable variance from a given line, dimension, or size is known as tolerance and must be accounted for in detailing.
Term

B) building owner

 

The building owner sets standards and regulations regarding the type of building standard light fixtures, if any.

Definition

Before preparing construction documents, the interior designer should verify if any paticular types of lighting fixtures are required by coordinating with the

A) architect

B) building owner

C) contractor

D) electrical engineer

Term

D) tolerance

 

The tolerance of the gypsum wallboard used to build the niche would be of greatest concern because the cabinet would be built to very exact dimensions while the wallboard would be built to less exact standards.  For a built-in cabinet, the fit would need to be tight and the interior designer would have to know the tolerance of wallboard construction in order to dimension the opening size and develop a method of fitting the millwork.

Definition

When reviewing a detail of a gypsum wall board niche to recieve a built-in millwork cabinet, the interior designer should be most concerned with

A) clearance

B) connection

C) movement

D) tolerance

 

Term

C) the positioning of required lighting 

 

Lighting locations are shown on the interior designer's reflected ceiling plans.  All of the other options listed would be on the electrical engineer's drawings or the security consultant's drawings.

Definition

When coordinating with a security consultant, the interior designer's drawing should show

A) a schedule of all security devices

B) the emergency backup power supply

C) the positioning of required lighting

D) the wiring of the security devices

Term

C) design development

 

Only broad planning issues related to barrier-free design need be made during the early design phases of programming and schematic design.  While decisions about detailed items, like the locations of grab bars, can be made during the construction documents phase, it is better if accessiblility research has been completed prior to beginning the construction drawings.

Definition

The determination of exact requirements for grab bars in toilet rooms is most appropriately made during

A) programming

B) schematic design

C) design development

D) construction drawing development

Term

A) adhesives

 

Although the correct selection of adhesive is important, the other three elements must be used correctly to prevent penetration of water to the substrates.

Definition

Which of the following is NOT an effective tool for controlling moisture when detailing the area around a spa pool?

 

A) adhesives

B) drainage

C) flashing

D) sealants

Term

C) manufacturer who makes the product

 

All manufacturers know the limitations of their products and should be consulted when one of their products is going to be used in a specific situation that the interior designer knows about.  Although the other sources may be consulted for additional information, only the manufacturer knows the limitations of a product.

Definition

The interior designer's best source concerning the limitations on the use of a product can be obtained from the

A) building code official who inspects the product

B) specialty contractor who installs the product

C) manufacturer who makes the product

D) trade association representing the product type.
