ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN: EXPERIMENT AND EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Le Corbusier: Villa Savoye, Poissy, France

As architects, interior designers, artists and craftsmen know well, experiment and experience matters. Experimentation and experience need to be in harmony; below, you’ll understand why.

Experimentation is related to the idea of the AVANT-GARDE , a sense of fresh air and a pillar of the arts. Parenthetically, architects often experiment with furniture design as an economical alternative to trying the same with buildings.

WHAT IF?

Experience comes with years and years of practice and professional maturity. While practice is important, it can also hinder a designer, if he/she is caught in the daily professional routine, churns out paintings or buildings, without having to think “what if?”.

On the other hand, experimentation can produce an avant-garde work, even if the designer is in the very early stage of his/her practice; there are many examples to verify this. While experience assures that the roof the architect designed doesn't leak, he/she will be remembered posthumously only for the avant-garde produced...

Therefore, it should be clear by now, that a balance or harmony is needed, between experimentation and experience. Then, the end result is often WOW!
