These places had to be representative of the current and future lifestyles of individuals. Just as technology has altered human existence\, interior design has a responsibility to respond to a world that is ever evolving. Design must recognize current and developing ideas of how the places for today are rooted in our way of living. \n So a focus on “place making” was emphasized rather than just “space making.” As appropriate to an Interior Design baccalaureate degree\, each thesis deals with physical space\, the perception of space\, and the meaning of space in relationship to human behavioral issues and how these combine to become a “place.” URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/interior-design-2017-senior-thesis-exhibition-place-makingspace-becomes-place-closes/ LOCATION:Feldman Center Lobby\, Marvin Feldman Center\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition GEO:40.7473893;-73.9948645 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Feldman Center Lobby Marvin Feldman Center New York City NY 10001 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Marvin Feldman Center:geo:-73.9948645,40.7473893 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20171020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20171020T130000 DTSTAMP:20260407T144736 CREATED:20171003T160709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171016T205624Z UID:10004113-1508497200-1508504400@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Chelsea Film Festival: Short Film Series 5 DESCRIPTION:FIT is the educational partner of the Chelsea Film Festival\, which will take place Thursday\, October 19 to Sunday\, October 22.
