Opposing to the last module Specialist Studies in Interior Design and the stress I encountered to manage my time efficiently, today’s session gave me an introduction for ways I could manage my time more professionally with an insight on how I could potentially present my work. RIBA plan of work (a system that all designers need to follow) gives creatives a strategy for time-division based upon the different tasks they need to proceed during a project. The RIBA scheme acts as an act of conduct between the designer and the client. This plan ensures that the client and the designer are safe in terms of agreements. It highlights to the client what designers are doing, who for, how long, and for how much. The BIID -- “The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) -- is the leading professional organisation for interior designers in the UK.” (BIID, N.D.)

What is beneficial to note from today’s session is that RIBA and BIID work together to ensure that there are legal arrangements between the client and the designer. The BIID, however, is used for more significant contracts in Interior Design services. The reason for having a BIID contract is to have a safe backup so that if any arguments occur between the customer and the inventor they will be resolved under legal actions.

   I grasped a lot from today’s session through the RIBA plan of work and by looking at my lecturer’s design work. One thing I would like to take forward in my work is the RIBA plan of work; this is by utilising the system to manage the projects that I am currently working on. The RIBA stages are as the following: one, strategy definition, where understanding the client and their needs while also coming up with a strategic plan of actions. Two, preparation and brief, where I would talk about the kind of things that I would like to design and come up with a list of things that I will include in the project. Three, concept design, where I will produce the concept and develop a feasible design idea with estimate costings of the space. Four, spatial coordination, this will be the stage where the design will be designed in much more detail and coordinated in the way it will lead to the final design. Five, technical design, this is where I will get to develop my design even further by detailing all the different features within the space. Moreover, the sixth, seventh, and eighth stage are when the construction, handover, and after the use of the building take place (which at this point will not be the case for me).

    Overall, this session was very helpful in terms of knowing what stages I will need to do next and what procedures I could potentially take forward in relations to presenting my projects.

Reference List:

I am now at a point in the project where I can reflect upon the work I have done so far. This week has been a crucial week as I have spent bait of time in the print room producing outcomes that would otherwise have been created digitally. M task 1 book is nearing completion which now allows me to focus on my second book, a more digital based book which I planned to allow me to build up on my digital illations from the previous project. 

I have so far produced the covers and one internal page. I now need to refine what I have done so far and design the other four pages.

Progress so far...

Task 1 - Book is fully made, needs to be bound together.

Task 2 - Refine current work, design other pages, print, construct and bind.

Task 3 - Complete

Task 4 - Complete

My aim is to have refined and designed all aspects of my second book by tuesday where I can then spend the wednesday of next week completing the production of the book. I will then focus on my presentation for friday as well as how I am going to present my submission, along with a 1000 word reflective essay.
