Abstract
THE EVENT OF SURPRISE IN THE DESIGN OF INTERIOR SPACES
It is the responsibility of the interior designer to tame the familiar
and unfamiliar technical (intellectual, material, and technological)
data as design means to break out of the familiar context in interior
design and surprise the user with a new design event that is
emotionally caressing psychologically and physically alluring which
is not an easy matter in a time where knowledge is within
everyone's reach, and the reasons for achieving the design event
became a creative evaluation by the user, not only at the formative
level, but also at the space level as a design event that is dealt with
by a causal and not inevitable manner, Achieving the event of
surprise in designing interior spaces has proved to be a great
challenge to the interior designer's abilities to think of out of the
ordinary and bypassing the user's cognitive reference as an
experience to achieve the emotions of surprise, suspense,
attraction, interaction and enjoyment with its positive progression
away from emotional confusion in dealing with the event, so we
conducted an extensive study that addressed the research problem,
its importance and purpose, while indicating its limits. In order to
avoid confusion, most key terms mentioned, were defined, and the
theoretical framework included two topics: the first of which dealt
with the design event and its causal process, while the second dealt
with the surprise event in interior design, its causes and
consequences. Ultimately, a set of conclusions were drawn that
summarized the scientific and objective process of research starting
with the problem down to its goal: The surprise occurrence in the
interior design, the partial becoming occurring at the level of the
whole, and the overall process occurring at the level of the part.
Numerous recommendations were also made.
