Interior Design Project for Temporary Housing for Internally Displaced Persons in Ukraine

Kyiv National University of Technology and Design

Project idea

The successful creation of temporary housing for internally displaced persons requires a comprehensive approach. Utilizing systematic principles and methods allows for the creation of housing that considers the needs and desires of the users. Key principles, such as adaptability and flexibility, multifunctional zoning, scientific validity, integrative approach, mobility, minimalism, compactness, and composition, play an important role in shaping the interior of temporary housing. These principles help create functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing spaces that improve the quality of life for internally displaced persons.
Additionally, colors in the interior affect the emotional state and mood of the people. Light, warm colors can promote calmness and create the right energy in the space. Compositional solutions allow for the maximum use of the limited space of temporary housing, ensuring convenience and functionality. Communicative design, including properly placed zones and elements, fosters interaction among residents and enhances their communication abilities.

Project description

The design project was developed using the Autodesk Revit software suite for automated design, visualized with the 3D modeling software Autodesk 3ds Max, and rendered with Chaos Corona. Post-processing was done using Adobe Photoshop. The project proposal includes the search for a stylistic concept, selection of color schemes, spatial organization of furniture, interior decoration, and lighting solutions.
The result of the proposed project is the creation of a comprehensive interior design project for temporary housing for internally displaced persons, complete with the necessary drawings, specifications, and visualizations.
