Designing Spaces with Technology in Mind
It is often common practice during the building and design of a structural space to neglect the inclusion of an audio-visual system till the completion of the property. However, this limits the spread and how functional the installed audio-visual system will be. It is more appropriate to have the audio-visual installer work together during the onset of the project, this will enhance the full maximization of space as well as broaden the reach and functionality of the installed system.
When there is a need to build or upgrade the audio-visual equipment of a building, we at Audio Graffiti can work with you in transforming your home or space to accommodate high and functional equipment and gadget.
Basic Steps Guide in Installing or Upgrading Audio-Visuals
Identify Types of Audio-visual Needed
Before commencing on the project it is important to know what is required or what the purpose of the audio-visual to be installed is, this will determine the type of equipment that will be installed and how to modify it to fit the proposed project.
Details of the Space
It is best to know the space where the audio-visual system will be installed. For instance, the design of a lecture theatre will be quite different from that of an auditorium or a public space.
Design
We will work with your idea and with you to come up with a design plan that will suit your requirement and need for the audio-visual system. The design can always be modified until it is fully accepted by the client.
Installation
The final step of this exercise is the last stage of the design and the actual installation of the audio-visual system as agreed by the client. Asides from these steps listed above, the audio-visual technologist should be well intimated during the creative design of the project in line with the interior designer, this is to avoid underwhelming performances of the installed audio-visual system.
Reflecting Materials
One of the things an interior designer should avoid is the use of reflective materials both for sound and light. Materials such as shiny fabrics, light paints that bounce off light should be guided against while designing. Also, hard wall surfaces or stone floors will affect the sound emission in the house and therefore should be avoided.
Timing of Audio-Visual Selection
During the design of the space, there is a need to have an early selection of audio-visual equipment to be fitted into the apartment, this is important to be able to meet up with the sizes of fittings such as bookshelves, racks etc. the sizes of audio-visual equipment to be fitted are determined and factored into the construction.
Designing of Lighting Control
There is a need for proper planning of the right light source and light control to create a harmonious lighting effect in the building. The type of structure will also determine how the light will be fixed and installed.
