In interior architecture it is necessary to use revision in order to create the best design possible. Revision is broken into two pars. Vision means looking at something and visualizing it. Re is to do something again. Thus, revision is the relooking or reevaluation of, in this case, a design or drawing. Without revisions designs would be very plain or over complicated. Ideas would need to be added or subtracted to acquire the best design possible. “After a millennium, man was once more the measure of all things. Everything was possible for humankind, believed Pico, for to man ‘it is granted to have whatever he chooses, to be whatever he wills’” (Roth 2007). The Baroque style was a revision to the styles used in the Renaissance. As artists and architects began to break the rules and work more with rationality instead of strictly religious thoughts, designs began to evolve and become much more interesting.

Audience
The audience of a design are the viewers who will be interacting with the said design. Others may view the design as “something” where at the target audience sees it as something so much more and will appreciate it in ways that others may not. A uniquely designed playground would be viewed much more appreciatively by the children and parents playing than by the businesswoman going on her afternoon jog in the park. A design for a single person as the audience could be more narrow and personalized than a design that is to sit in a large public space for all to view.
Character
To give something character is to give it personality and a way for it to speak for itself. Giving a design character allows it to show the observer what it is about and what it is used for without being prompted. The designs that I view as having the most character are the ones that end up making me smile. Not because they are funny but because they intrigue me too look at longer and begin to understand what their points are. They are the designs that are the most successful in canting my attention and keeping ii there long enough to analyze and know its purpose.

Transition
In design, transition can be the movement or evolution between one style to another. This is apparent when observing the sculptures of David by Michelangelo and Bernini. Michelangelo’s David is showing the physical perfection of man and is contemplative and thinking about what he has just accomplished. This followed the rules of the time but Bernini broke the rule of contemplative sculpture in the Baroque era. Bernini’s David is in action and shows a different and new view on a figure in movement. I feel that Bernini’s David has much more movement and rhythm which is the ideal principal of the Baroque style.
Datum
In drafting and in perception and communication we have been working with perspective drawings and how to accommodate everything within a space to follow the horizon line and vanishing point. The horizon line is essentially a datum although is it not physically seen in an actual space. The horizon line and the vanishing point upon the horizon line act as a reference that allows one to measure the height and length of surfaces in certain perspectives. We have been using these references to locate the position in which we are to place the furniture and other amenities in our spaces.

This week had been all about transitions, evolutions, and revisions. Allowing transition and creating revisions allows a design to transform into a work that has character and appeal greatly to the target audience as well as the audience that it is not directly aimed towards.
