The Effectiveness of the Materials of Termination in the Design of Household Kitchens

Abstract

The aim of the design process is to find an internal environment that meets the functional and aesthetic human needs; this is done through the selection of materials of termination based on the foundations and principles of the design of household kitchens. Therefore, this study is aimed at search at the effectiveness of the materials of termination in the design of household kitchens. The study is a result of a problem that the researcher found interesting and worth researching. This problem is embodies by the question: What is the effect of the materials of termination in the design of kitchens?The importance of this study lies in its research of the effectiveness of the materials of termination in the design of the household kitchens. Household kitchens are one of the most important spaces in the house as it witnesses a continuous movement during most of the day and is often a place where the whole family gathers. Therefore, and as a result to its functional nature, the kitchen should have some kind of aesthetic properties. The study of the effectiveness and efficiency of the materials of termination are responsible in making the kitchen space either a comfortable or non-comfortable place to work in; and this is the objective of this research: a guide for the selection of materials of termination with efficiency in the design of kitchens, and to identify the characteristics of the materials of termination used in designing the kitchen. The specific objective of the research is: the effectiveness of the materials of termination in the design of kitchens. And the space objective is: the cooking space in home kitchens with spaces between (300-400 m2). This Includes identifying the terms that came in the research title and need to be defined. The second chapter discusses the theoretical framework consisting of two sections, the first is on the concept of material of termination in the design of kitchens; and the second is concerned with the basics of organizing spaces of kitchens. The third chapter included the descriptive research methodology to analyze the contents in the models. And the research community space included the cooking space concerned with the kitchen areas between (300-400 m2). While in the research sample, the researcher selected three models by which she achieved the goal of the research. And the fourth quarter includes the results found by the researcher. Among these results
