| dc.description.abstract | "As a main issue in an open space it might be lose privacy or even sounds will annoy. Open plans has effectively raised in popularity, which means to offer endless design opportunities. Room dividers a a visual barrier are great opportunity to create a space when it comes to build an efficient utilization or zones. Nowadays, there are different types of room dividers with various functions, which also fulfil architectural needs. This kind of products are depending on their versatility qualities as well as visually and acoustically. Especially, it refers on viewer's perspective and also how to arrange the room divider. Room dividers serve many purposes, for example, it gives the space nice atmosphere through its material but also make the space lively. This research deals with how to create an interior space by implementing sustainable design methods into modular room dividers and their effects. Additionally, it is also focused on investigating visual view and light, the acoustic control, the sustainability, and the modularity. The research begins by a short description of room dividers with their origin and historical background and then going into the characteristics, such as the different types of room dividers. Furthermore, explaining a brief introduction of visual control, which includes the light control, view control and the acoustic control as well. Additionally, explaining the sustainability and modular systems. Moreover, it will provide detailed analysis with the examples of three case studies. Subsequently, an explanation of the design goals, that includes a design proposal. Four prototypes were tried out and analysed through out the dimensions and the geometry. The goal is to analyse and compare the functionality and the materials in order to design a modular room dividers. Furthermore, the purpose is to design a sustainable room divider at selecting materials with low environmental impacts. Keywords: Office design, Modular system, Sustainable methods, Room dividers." | en |
