The Roots of Industrialization

As looking thorough to my research, I was told to seek the roots of why ID industrialization is happening in Malaysia.
After weeks of observation, analysis and articles reading, findings are such:

1. The technology and materials available in Malaysia is one of the constriction for ID creativity in Malaysia. The quest for extraordinary enquiries results in extra costing, reluctant of contractors and worries of client.
2. Occurrence of trends such as GBI also holds back designer's creativity, people tend to preach the fame and status among the rest, where gaining the certificates is a big step towards succession. The rules and regulation to gain it had indirectly created a limitation.
3. Work ethics is also another bolded issues in Malaysian industries. Its often good to have someone to lead the group, however, its terrible when the leaders do not listen or disagree with the others. Just like architects has all says for construction where the rest listens. In this case, other ideas and opinion are prohibitions.
4. Construction procedures is also another cause of creativity limitation. Design is also about unity, when designer comes after architect, all ID can do is only to compliment the architect's output. In fact, they should come at same path.
5. Market niche can also be tricky at time, the fixed mindset for expected outcome from client tremendously affect the end-results and lost in originality. of course, on good hands, stylization had made design communication and execution easier between designers and clients.
6. Worse in case, when all the above are practiced and merged into a norm. Interior designer are automatically a consultant rather than an spatial artist.

We are "INDIVIDUALS" !!!

"A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."
Steve Jobs

Every individuals tries to be somebody that contributes to their society. However, how is it possible? Who is there to support you whenever you make a stand? How can you show your stand is right? What are the impact you will received for doing so? When is the right time for you to strike your opinion?

These are doubts that most individuals think, Malaysians especially. Everyone is so busy trying to tell when no one is there to listen.

Just like ID Industrialization in Malaysia, formula and constriction had occurs in the industries for easy approach, communication and economy where artistic values had been neglected.

e.g. One fresh graduates might have an intention to repel the "SOCIAL RULES" but failed to. As time goes, finding that going with the flow made good profit and changes his stands. Later on, when a junior comes about repelling the system, senior might find it "SHALLOW MINDED".

worse: The cycles goes round and round~

How great if people would hold firm on their stands. Things would be a lot different around!!!

Bare in mind every individuals are different, that's why we are termed 'INDIVIDUALS".

My degree IAD final year Dissertation

Hi all, I'm Julius Lok Juin Chern, currently doing my final year in interior architecture and design at KBU International College, Malaysia.
Recently, I've done my internship in an ID company. It came about rethinking our role as ID, an artistic profession or consultant.
Below are my issues and discussion for my dissertation in details:

Area of Study: Interior Designer, Consultant or Artist?

Issues: Interior architecture and design had been listed as a professionals industry today. However, the industrialization of this creative field had slowly emerged into a stagnant and formulated enormity. As outcome seen in reality, Malaysia especially, interior design are rather more pastiche and losses in aesthetic values. The industrialization had given opportunity for the industries to grow but for better or worse?

Aim: To investigate the relationship between interior designers, client/user and spaces by looking into industries output, users perspective and responds towards spatial design.

Objectives:

• To observe the market situation for interior design field.
•  To investigate the industrialization impact towards interior design industries, which result in duty wavered for today’s interior designers.
• To analyze the outcome appreciation by users/owners by evaluating the weightage of interior designed spaces, a norm or work of beauty.
• To incline the capability and possibilities of interior designer, looking into designers that differ from the formulation.
• To inflict the responsibilities of interior designers towards spaces and its end-users.

Your opinion and discussion on comment are very much welcomed and wish myself all the best for my final year ^.^!
