The semi-basement apartment of the Kim family, with its small, high-set window, does not merely provide minimal light and ventilation; it also creates an atmosphere of confinement and deprivation, reflecting their socio-economic struggles. This space profoundly impacts their sensory and emotional experience, illustrating how architecture can shape human conditions and convey deeper socio-economic realities.

Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space… On one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure

As a Professional designer, I work more productively, artistically, and efficiently to create functional, aesthetically beautiful, and user-friendly rooms with the use of interior design systems and fixing techniques. Sustainable design systems at the very least try to take energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, and the influence on the environment into account. Furthermore, interior design can benefit from the flexibility and efficiency that compact design offers.

This is the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages. In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings, it deals with the larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods and districts, and entire cities, with the goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable. The process demands a good understanding of a wide range of subjects from physical geography, through to social science, and an appreciation for disciplines, such as real estate development, urban economics, political economy and social theory.

Architects and designers work hard to make homes as functional as possible. Do you think there are design characteristics that all houses and apartments should have? Provide examples of those characteristics to support your opinion.
