Abstract

The process of establishing a comprehensive analytical structure is defined by the symbolic and metaphorical aspect of the technical framework interpreted in the working in details drawings. The tectonic representation of these drawings refers to the principles of producing and assembling blocks that integrate the basic components of the content of the design process; function, structure, and materiality through a detailed arrangement without dissipating the intent or extent of the design within the implementation of kinetic mechanisms in the late 20th century. The Working details and technical drawings became an official language and an operational approach to model designs recognized between the designers to display ideas and express knowledge from one mind to another. They are reference analytical codes to understand every detail concerning the structure and the principles and joints governing the assembly of the unit as a whole.  The mechanical mechanisms are the technical and efficient elements, embedded within the processes of the design and the production, to add a functional dimension to the elements of interior architecture. Kinetic proprieties emerged as a multifunctional dimension applying methods and elements of movement due to advances in mechanics, electronics, and robotics.  The practical part of the study done the authors is represented in the working detailed drawings that analyze the wooden structure of a classical unit. It demonstrates how to integrate mechanical mechanism to the leaves of the cabinet in order to meet the user's needs. As a conclusion, these units adopted the concept of kinetic movement as a technological design strategy aimed to create adaptive types of interior elements and design destinations that are efficient in form, flexible in structure and adaptable to the diversity of purpose and multifunctional concept. As well as studying the modification of the traditional system of interior architecture through the implementations of kinetics.
