Unit Summary: Experience

Hello, guys! I'm here today to discuss what I learned about during this experience unit and how I think it effects interior design. Along with this description, there'll be an image that helps to describe my point.
   The experience that someone has in any space is very important because it effects how they feel when navigating through it. It's usually based on the lighting, color scheme, and behavior throughout the room. For instance, if you were to enter a room that had dark walls and dim lighting, you probably would get an negative feeling about the space. On the other hand, if you were to enter a room the had light colored walls and brighter lighting, you'd feel a lot better about this room in comparison to the other. While more factors go into the overall experience of a space, lighting and color are some of the main ones in my eyes.
   While on the subject of experience, I'd like to mention one of the locations I had to visit for a field study: the Christ Church Cathedral. The color choices throughout the room were very rich, and some of them were lightened by the warm lighting that filled the entire space. There were gold/brass light fixtures that were placed along each wall and hanging from the high ceiling. This gave off a very positive feeling to the members of the church as well as newcomers. The acoustics of the voices and music that made up the sermon were another factor that helped the experience of the space. Overall, the Christ Church Cathedral was definitely a great example of a good experience of a space.
