Introduction to standards.
4
Standards are technical documents that allow users to evaluate whether a product or service meets a standard in a systematic way. These specifications are often derived from the user's expectations of the product or service in question.
When a legislative or contractual requirement makes standards obligatory, they must be followed. Standards are developed by private national bodies to which the States attribute this capacity exclusively. National bodies may join forces on a regional or global scale to agree on standards with a wider geographical scope, which will then be passed on to the national level. Broadly speaking, in Spain the standardization body is AENOR, in Europe it is CEN and at world level it is ISO. The standards shall be named with a set of letters indicating the type of document, the standardization body and the specific subject to which it relates. For example, Spanish standards are known as UNE, European standards are referred to as EN and international standards are referred to as ISO. When standards are in the drafting phase, provisional documents shall be published for review by user groups (manufacturers, testing centres, consumers). These documents are called Draft Standards and add the two PR initials to their name.
There are standards for some of the elements that make up the sleeping system, such as a mattress or base, although there are no standards for other elements, such as a pillow. However, certain material standards may be used at an even more broader level to assess the characteristics of the product, such as thermal resistance or flammability. Finally, it should be noted that some of the characteristics that can be expected of the resting equipment are difficult to standardize due to their very nature or because the level of knowledge on the subject is limited. The assessment of these characteristics may reasonably be covered by the technical reports of independent bodies of recognized prestige.
The Technical Building Code (CTE), which is focused on performance, was published in the BOE on March 28, 2006, and has been recently updated, CTE is the framework that establishes the Building Law 's protection and habitability standards for buildings (LOE).
This code is divided into two sections:
The first part collects all of the mandatory safety and habitability criteria while constructing a building in compliance with the "Ley de Ordenación de la Edificación" (LOE), while the second part is made up of a set of different Basic Documents (DB) required to comply with the above requirements. The Basic Documents are the following :
• DB SE Structural Safety
• DB SI Safety in case of fire
• DB SU Safety in use
• DB HS Habitability Requirements (hygiene, health and environment) • DB HR Protection against noise • DB HE Energy Efficiency

The person in charge of sourcing and /or purchasing hotel bedding equipment and furnishings should demand that the supplier validate the product's quality through test certificates in compliance with UNE standards.
Some soft furnishings, as pillows or cushions, are not considered in these standards. However, the FF&E designer should look for certified and approved materials.
By applying these regulations, the risk of fire spread can be reduced and minimised.

Ethical is the new black
11
An entity is rated not only by the amount of information acquired and displayed, but also by how he or she behaves toward customers, rivals, the rest of the group, and society in general from the standpoint of each collective (Bellizi, 2006). Codes of ethics, which define what is appropriate, honest, and due in the development or exercise of the corresponding profession, bring these types of minimum standards together. (Lugli, Kocollari and Nigrisoli, 2009) For example, historically, codes of ethics were created or appeared in professional groups with high repercussions or social responsibility, such as lawyers, doctors and teachers, with the aim of finding the right balance between morality and technical-scientific professionalism.
12
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro.
So, why do companies use the definition of an ethics code? Clearly, ethics is concerned with maxims, is not embodied in a law, is not enforceable, proposes motives, and is mainly concerned with individual conscience (O'Fallon and Butterfield, 2005). Deontology, on the other hand, is duty-oriented, reflects ethical rules and codes, includes specific behavior, and is supported by a group of professionals (Helin and Sandström, 2007). Deontology is a list of legally binding minimum values that fall somewhere between morality and law. However, rather than using the term deontology, the term ethics is more often used to convey that the right thing is being done.
72546664
Ethics is characterized as "the collection of moral rules that regulate a person's conduct in any sphere of life," according to the RAE. Professional, civic, and sporting ethics are all relevant. It is also a branch of philosophy concerned with the positive and the basis of its ideals." Professional codes, for their part, are governed by deontology, or the duties that regulate a professional activity, as specified by the RAE as "a collection of duties related to the practice of a given profession." While ethics refers to the moral rules or standards of faithful compliance of a profession, deontology refers to the moral rules or standards of faithful compliance of a profession (Kaptein, 2004). Corporate ethics and policies are of collective or group application and are addressed to the professionals in a field or to the employees of a company (Canary and Jennings, 2008; O'Dwyer and Madden, 2006).
"A code of conduct is an organizational statement of policy, values, or principles that governs a company's behavior in terms of human resource creation, environmental management, and relationships with consumers, customers, governments, and the community, wherever they work," according to the International Organization of Employers (IOE). It goes on to say that "companies and their organizations are free to create, enforce, adopt, publicize, and practice a code of conduct.” They also have the option of developing a code of conduct in-house, in collaboration with a third party" (IOE, 1999). According to the OECD, "a code of conduct is a voluntary agreement entered into by companies, societies, or other bodies that establishes rules and standards regulating the activities of enterprises in the marketplace" (OECD, 2001). Let´s see some examples in the next pages.
13
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro.
A code of conduct, according to Fauchère (2006), is "a formal text outlining the policy or values that businesses agree to follow." Voluntary codes, by definition, include commitments made by businesses, primarily to respond to consumer demands, without being constrained by legislation or regulations.
72546664
Aside from the individual ethics of each person, the codes of ethics that each professional must follow in the business sphere generally include codes of conduct that normally monitor situations such as labor rights, working hours, rest, minimum guaranteed wages, preventing and fighting fraud, health and safety (Gaumnitz and Lere, 2004). In certain cases, and depending on the company's international and economic reach and significance, these or some of these conditions are applied to other stakeholders such as contractors, manufacturers, and subjects with whom it negotiates. We must not overlook that any inappropriate use of corporate resources will harm any entity's credibility and reputation in the market, that would obviously have financial implications and lead to institutional damage. As a consequence, the primary objective of codes of ethics and codes of conduct is the company's success or survival in the short, medium, and long term.
The firm was born in 1954, a family-owned company that has become very significant nowadays. The 21st century brought major changes to the concept and strategy of the organization, with a particular drive for the internationalization of their services. The Code of Ethics applies to all Estudio Lamela members, regardless of their hierarchical rank, geographical or functional location, or current contractual connection. There are no relationships with suppliers and partners that violate laws or the essential values described in this Code of Ethics. Employees agree to use computer systems and communication devices responsibly. Employees do not expect privacy if they are overseen by Estudio Lamela while performing management and control activities. The code of ethics, as well as the objectives of social responsibility and the existing rules, have to be respected in Spain and in the countries where Estudio Lamela works. (Lamela, 2021)

Human rights are taken seriously by the Swedish corporation. IWAY's code of ethics calls for a fixed minimum wage, the prohibition of involuntary and child labor, and nondiscrimination. These specifications must be followed not only by the international corporation, but also by the manufacturers. Their corporate ethics code is very broad and detailed. They have gone to great lengths to explain the value of integrity to the organization and expect their workers to obey this code both at work and outside of work. The IKEA Code of Conduct is based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and is inspired by the UN Global Compact's ten principles. In designing the parameters, they were also influenced by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work. (Ikea, 2021)

"The design freelancers Airbnb." The idea behind this new network is to register freelancers and expect businesses to contact, freely and at no cost. That is how the company, Malt defines itself. According to official data from the Ministry of Employment and Social Security in September 2017, the platform is the best way to put businesses looking for freelance workers in touch with them in Spain, where about 3,25 million (3,249,846) employees are registered for the employment market. The allure is that the dotcom takes care of the paperwork, that is an automated procedure, and that the user gets payments on schedule. The interested user only needs to fill out the platform's registration form with his or her information and wait for clients to contact them. (Expansion, 2021)

Who we are Welcome to drives what the family! we do I love spotting my hands or shoes. I don't mind. I will be an actress or singer in my next life. I was in a theater project while I was at university, where I was performing, singing and dancing as well. That's why I'm not famous and you don't know me.
I was born in a village in Galicia more than four decades ago, and I lead a small but fantastic team of professionals who do nothing more than turn their passion for design into works that, in their hands, attain a special meaning. Design, craftsmanship, industry, and human diversity have all been a part of my life since I was a child, as my father would take me with him to the workshop. My grandfather was the handyman who patched everything, and if there wasn't a cure, the two of them would invent one. He always had something up his sleeve. My grandfather instilled in me a curiosity of what others deem to be the most unappealing element of interior design: the work site.

Environmentally Sustainable Interior
Design
Thanks f 31
Traditionally, the interior design practice has been concerned with a one-dimensional practice: providing aesthetic improvements to a client's living space. Interior design practice has undergone a drastic change in recent years, with design practices now focusing on delivering safe and sustainable environments. Buildings, residents, and communities are all involved in the development of an environmentally friendly urban setting, and society is starting to recognize this. This interest in environmental stewardship is what has created the context and demand for environmentally friendly interior design (Hayes, 2015))
LEED certification was created in 1993 by the American Green Building Council. It is a voluntary initiative based on market consensus to plan buildings with a heavy emphasis on energy conservation. It assesses building processes using six criteria: architectural material and resource sustainability, water and energy efficiency, environmentally friendly materials, and interior quality and innovation. In addition to construction permits, this certification provides accreditation to contractors who have completed environmental training. (Certicalia, 2021)

And as we should be wary of "all natural" food labeling, we should also be skeptical of "green" furniture labels. As we become ESID experts, we will be able to determine whether a particular feature of interior design is really a sustainable option.

Sustainable design does not have to mean sacrificing style to make a more environmentally friendly room. New items and well-curated one-of-a-kind pieces result in a well-styled atmosphere. Reusing or repurposing objects is a sustainable way of planning, whether it is a new building or renovating a space. We should choose quality and timeless furnishings to avoid this chair ending up in a landfill.
Sustainable designers understand the fabrics and finishes are better for you and the setting. It is important to remember not only components but also manufacturing and transportation when planning for sustainability. The sustainable design incorporates local distributor procurement as well as efficient manufacturing and transportation.
When planning from a sustainable mindset, we also choose to preserve our wellness. Indoor air quality is a critical concern in sustainable design. Green designers seek zero VOC paints as well as animalfriendly upholstery and rugs. We often see that families being more worried about this for the sake of their families wellbeing.
Interior designers consult on both new building and renovations. More certainly, the property design did not intend to comply with environmental requirements. A failed orientation can result in higher energy usage to cool the rooms. A successful interior designer would be able to suggest ideas to upgrade a place.
Obtaining LEED certification for a project typically entails a lot of paperwork, money, and time. Many current circumstances will make it impossible to be environmentally responsible. However, you can significantly reduce your home's environmental footprint by shopping nearby, minimizing additives in your purchases, and replacing an internal thermostat system.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Interior
Design
Since Howard Rothmann Bowen's book Social Responsibilities of the Businessman was published in the United States in 1953, the principle of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been progressing. Kenneth Arrow's Social Choice and Individual Values (1951), in which he stated his principle of impossibility, also known as Arrow's paradox, inspired Bowen's novel. According to the theory, it is unrealistic to create universal welfare from individual welfare without breaching certain minimum rationality and fairness requirements. Today, CSR is essential in the development of the activities of companies that are inclined towards a policy of sustainable development, i.e. a policy that satisfies present needs but responds to the demands of society. Thus, we can say that the principles of CSR are as follows:

Deforestation is an urgent issue that is sorely lacking on trees and jungles across the globe. Fires, irrigation, intensive livestock farming, and timber exploitation are only a few of the many causes of deforestation becoming ever more dramatic. Indiscriminate deforestation amplifies the impact of climate change as trees absorb CO2, and it also results in a significant loss of biodiversity. All categories of certification aim to ensure that forest management is ecologically responsible, socially efficient, and commercially viable. The result of irresponsible timber exploitation is deforestation.
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
Timber companies and forests can obtain this certification that adds value and guarantees legitimate and responsible raw material suppliers. The different phases of the operation are assessed, from planting in the forests following an appropriate reforestation policy to the finished product.
- Forest Management certification: an audit is carried out in the forests and is given to forest managers or owners when they meet all the requirements.
Thanks f
-Chain of Custody certification: the company that transforms wood products or other products of forest origin, coming from certified as FSC or PEFC forests, to obtain the different consumer products (paper, furniture, cork stoppers, etc.) must audit these goods to check their source. For those forest products that cannot accredit their sustainable origin, the option of at least being able to guarantee their legal source, in this case, we are talking about:
Fig 8 Harvepino (2020)- Deforestation [Photograph] 38
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
- Regulated Source Wood: Document tracks with timber extraction legislation will ensure compliance with the European Timber Market Directive (EUTR); both PEFC and FSC distinguish this wood as coming from Controlled Sources.
Both certificates have a similar framework. Both PEFC and FSC are recognized schemes in all public purchasing policies, such as those established by the EU, UK, Japan, Germany, and others. The main difference is that FSC, based on global Principles and Criteria, certifies forests worldwide through certification bodies accredited by its accreditation body ASI. PEFC certification, in general, requires the creation of a National Forum to agree on the country's Sustainable Forest Management System and Standard, and also the adoption of a trade agreement mechanism.
When purchasing wood, ask for certified timber. It helps to keep our forests safe.
Why should wood be certified?
The following are some of the reasons for certifying (and consuming) this form of wood:
2. It offers economic opportunities to improve productivity by more efficient forest exploitation and harvesting.
3. Forests provide more than just timber; they also produce cork, firewood, resin, pastures, and other goods that support people by providing employment and social welfare.
4. Environmental stewardship supports rural growth and outdoor recreation.
By consuming certified wood products, we ensure that they come from responsible and sustainable sources. Isn't that more than enough reason to pay attention to their certification? Paper, doors, tables.., we are surrounded by these products! Take action!” (Acciona, 2021)

Nice statements. Let’s see what happens when we pass this statements through the fact checking horror tunnel.
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
IKEA, such as goods it sells, shows itself immaculately at first, but shortcomings soon appear. Not IKEA first scandal: the company has been under fire for decades, whether for using East German prisoners as labour or for its founder, Ingvar Kamprad, conservative right-wing political sympathies. The latter is the outcomes of a British NGO probe, which discovered that Ikea makes goods from illegally harvested Eastern European timber.
Earthsight, a British NGO, released in 2020 a shocking report. They spent 18 months in Ukraine investigating state officials, forestry industry staff, and activists. They discovered that the beechwood used to manufacture (among many other items) the Ingolf and Terje folding chair models that the company produces at a rate of 1.5 million units per year, i.e. once every three seconds, comes illegally from the Carpathian forests. According to Earthsight´s report, the logging began during Viktor Yanukovych administration (2011-2014) and has continued since, including during the covid-19 pandemic.
VGSM, one of Ikea major suppliers in Ukraine, is responsible for the felling: up to 96 per cent of its supply goes to the Swedish group. The activity occurs near Velyky Bychkiv, Transcarpathian Oblast, and endangers European populations of brown bear, European wolf, chamois, and lynx that live in its forests. Earthsight adds that not all logging is strictly illegal, pointing out that logging businesses are using a legal scam to justify the right to cut more and younger trees alleging "health purposes". Legislation requires Ukrainian authorities to issue special permits to expand logging in forests threatened by pests, natural disasters, or global warming to protect natural habitat. Bribes and other economic and social strains encourage the issuing of certain licenses.
All faces in the opposite direction. "It's difficult to log without a tractor or a truck; everyone would hear about it," an environmental campaigner says in the article, adding, "It's not something that only happens if there is no organization behind it." According to the NGO, the Ikea model is fast furniture that necessarily involves multiple sacrifices. Aside from the modern Swedish design and flat-pack technology, Ikea rules the industry due to a third factor: the ability to turn trees into cheaper, more consistent and massive furniture than any other organization has ever accomplished., according to Earthside.

Furthermore, it is not limited to the mentioned chair since the modular furniture planks are made of compressed sawdust and coated with veneer or melamine, all of which came from the same trees.

Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
And the path forward is by taking advantage of local work and by massively reducing forests. The two in Western Europe and the United States are far from the look of the consumers. The Swedish colossus, one of the Nordic business flagships, has an insatiable hunger. According to Earthsight info, Ikea wood use has more than doubled in the last decade. Any year, it consumes between 1.8 and 2.5 million more trees than the year before. It used 21 million cubic meters of wood in 2019. In other words, if we arrange the logs in a row, they would orbit the earth seven times. According to the NGO, Ikea eats a tree every three seconds. However, the sacrifices are not limited to the environment. Earthsight remembers the assault on Kateryna Gandziuk, a Kherson area protester, as she was about to get into her car to go to work in July 2018. Someone unexplained threw the contents of a bottle all over her head and thorax. The bottle held battery acid, and after being rushed to the hospital and undergoing 14 surgeries for five months, Gandziuk died at the age of 33. Her attempts to uncover illegal deforestation in forests managed by the state forest resources agency (SAFR) were considered as the cause of her death by the inquiry. According to a 2017 report by the Russian media publication Lenta, one of the main obstacles in the fight against illegal logging is the decline of living standards in Ukraine, but this activity is also protected by armed groups bordering on criminality and operating under
the seal of Far-Right, among other extreme right-wing organizations, which were strewn across the country. Lenta hypothesized that the devastation of the Carpathian forests was a kind of 'decommunisation' of Ukrainian civilization or a kind of moral aimed at Russia at the time.
Examine a cardboard box or a packet of paper that you have lying around the home. There's a good chance you'll see the FSC, or Forest Stewardship Council, logo in one of the corners. This is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Bonn, Germany, that certifies that the wood used to produce a product, ranging from stationery to furniture, meets sustainability standards. Theoretically. Earthsight accuses the FSC of "failing miserably" in its goals since the wood used in the production of Ikea chairs is sourced from illegal logging in Ukraine and is licensed by the organization. People familiar with the situation in this instance, according to Earthsight, condemned "the friendly relationship between FSC auditors and the crooked managers" of the timber companies. They alert that "FSC's defeat in Ukraine is being replicated around the world," from "Brazil to Congo, Peru to Russia," in the form of "forced deforestation" of trees and rainforests or "beatings and killings of local populations." According to the UK NGO, "by promoting virgin paper, the FSC harms sales of recycled paper; by greenwashing illegal timber as lawful, it harms legislation in the US and EU aimed at blocking the trade of
Thanks f 41
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
stolen timber; and by giving a false sense of protection to environmentally aware customers, it makes it more difficult for them to take the right action." This is not the first time the FSC has been chastised by conservation activists, with Greenpeace, for example, leaving the organization in 2017 after calling it a "tool for timber exploitation." Earthsight further highlights FSC's symbiotic partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world's leading conservation organizations. The latter assisted in the creation of FSC and still works for Ikea. "The three organizations have been more intertwined over time, and not only in terms of their ideology," the paper says, adding that "their team is frequently the same." For eg, "Steve Howard, the man who, as Ikea's head of sustainability, was the founder of the FSC-certified timber purchasing strategy, formerly worked for WWF," where he was in charge of granting the panda logo to "timber firms in return for guarantees to improve their sustainable policies, commitments that often failed to materialize." "Kim Carstensen, the new chairman of FSC, who formerly worked with WWF for more than 20 years," is another name in this triangle. Earthsight submitted a preview of the study to the firms featured in it before it was released. In the case of Ikea, the organization replied that it "acts proactively to enforce policies to check that manufacturers cooperate with the rule," and that it takes extra precautions in countries such as Ukraine.
When asked about its high wood consumption, the organization said that it has "an aggressive plan to expand the recycled wood market," as well as a desire to reduce waste and use wood as effectively as possible. To be a truly good citizen, Ikea would need to change its business model, increase its prices, and sacrifice profits and growth to do so. Instead, Ikea's latest ruse is a pie-in-the-sky program to use returned goods as raw material for new ones. But this has failed to make the tiniest dent in its accelerating demand for fresh trees. It is also gradually increasing its use of recycled wood, but its consumption of virgin wood continues to rise. Such steps also do not address the climate impacts of the re-processing. Far from seeking to move away from it, Ikea is doubling down on fast furniture. Its new CEO declared intention is to pursue cheapness like never before.

The Guardian's newspaper, along with several architects and NGOs, has recently revealed a more scandal that greatly saddened me: the death of more than 6500 migrant workers at the building work of Qatar World Cup.
In December 2010, the streets of the capital, Doha, were filled with crowds enthusiastically celebrating the announcement that the country would host the 22nd edition of the FIFA Men's World Cup.
According to data gathered from government sources, an average of 12 migrant workers from these five South Asian countries has died every week in Qatar since that night.
Sources in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka indicate that between 2011 and 2020, 5,927 jobs have died in the world. On the other hand, data from the Pakistani embassy in Qatar confirms another 824 deaths of Pakistani workers between 2010 and 2020.
In reality, the total number of deaths is significantly higher, as these figures do not include countries from which much of the labour force originates, such as the Philippines and Kenya. Nor do they include deaths in the last few months of 2020.
"Many were only in Qatar for the World Cup".
Over the past ten years, Qatar has been engaged in an unprecedented building spree, largely in preparation for the 2022 football tournament. In addition to building seven new stadiums, dozens of major projects have been completed or
are underway, including a new airport, roads, public transport systems, hotels and a new city to host the World Cup final.
Nick McGeehan, Direction of FairSquare Ventures, the Gulf labour rights organization, discusses how many fatal jobs have probably been working on these World Cupe infrastructure projects, while death statistics do not contain the deceased's category or workplace. "A very significant proportion of migrant workers who have died since 2011 were only in Qatar because it was selected to host the World Cup," he says. (El Diario.es, 2020)
According to the info revealed by The Guardian (2020), there have been 37 deaths among workers directly related to the construction of World Cup stadiums, of which 34 are classified as "not work-related" by the event's organising committee. Experts question this classification because in some cases it has been used to describe deaths that have occurred on the job, including those of several people who have collapsed and died on stadium construction sites.
Thanks f 43
The investigation highlights Qatar's failure to protect its two million migrant workers, or even to investigate the causes of the high death rate among this group, most of whom are young.
Most are classified as "natural deaths".
Behind the statistics lie countless stories of shattered families
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
who have lost their main source of income, and are now struggling to get compensation without even knowing under what circumstances their loved one died.
Qatar's grim death toll emerges from the analysis of extensive spreadsheets with official data listing causes of death: multiple blunt injuries due to a fall from height; asphyxiation by hanging; undetermined cause of death due to decomposition.
But among the causes, by far the most common, are so-called "natural deaths", often attributed to acute cardiac or respiratory failure. According to data obtained by The Guardian, 69% of deaths of Indian, Nepalese and Bangladeshi workers are classified as "natural". In the case of Indian workers, this figure rises to 80%.
The Guardian has previously reported that these classifications are often made without an autopsy and often do not provide a valid medical explanation for the underlying cause of these deaths.
But, once again, this flight forward and this disregard for the full reality of projects is an integral part of the professional debacle that we are still experiencing (whether in this muscular and starchitectonic format or in other more peripheral and deceptively "novel" ones): One in which architecture is stripped of all content, social, economic, functional, functional, urban... and becomes a pure whim, an expensive postcard folie, a simplified representation of itself for easy consumption and the adoenamiento of the critical and social value that undoubtedly the discipline should have -and exercise-. (Echarte, 2013).
When The Guardian recently asked Zaha Hadid about the 500 Indians and 382 Nepalese migrant workers whose deaths were reported in the preparations for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the architect in charge of the Al-Wakrah Stadium replied:
Thanks f
This apparently doesn't seem to Miss Hadid to be "embarrasing" or doesn't seem to her enough to make a pronouncement on the matter. A Pilate-like position that is not unfamiliar to those multi-awarded and multi-awarded elites who have turned certain countries where the most basic rights are absent-mindedly applied into a quarry of projects with few questions to answer and many (petro)dollars to spend.

"I have nothing to do with the workers. I think this is more of a problem - if there is a problem - that the government should take care of. Hopefully these issues will be resolved.
Asked if she was concerned about the event, she added:
"Yes, but I'm also concerned about the deaths in Iraq, but what can I do about it? It's not that I'm taking this issue lightly, but I
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
think it's a matter for the government to deal with. It's not my duty as an architect. I can't do anything about it because I don't have the power to do anything about it. I think this is a problem everywhere in the world. But, as I said, I think there are discrepancies all over the world".

In general, we are not really ethical as a society. We have fewer than we would like. We accept wrongdoing, both large-scale and that of our friends, to variable levels, with a "Lazarillo de Tormes" written almost five centuries ago to justify the picaresque, tv aberrations in children's time slots, and a clear lack of moral representatives.
Design, as a regular expression, requires ethical behavior in order to be beneficial to society. Beyond having fallen into a certain trivialization of the word (a young sector that pays the price of being called, due to arrogance, shallow and frivolous), we designers argue the worth of our profession, not only in the business sector, but also in the public sphere and from a cultural point of view. The link between aesthetics and ethics can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece. More than two thousand years have passed from there to form and function, the central concept of functionalist design in the last century, during which time art has tried to reflect beauty while good design seeks authenticity. As a result, we've arrived at advertising as an attempt to make things look good, or at how marketing defies all previous moral reasoning by rendering the beautiful immoral, just as architecture, in the hands of some people, renders what is truly ethical unattractive. Moral obligation is no longer an option. Long live the capital, and long live evil!
As designers, we demand honesty in our work. And, in order for the society that receives our work to respect our profession, we must articulate this, as well as other positive values that distinguish us. To earn this respect, we must first question ourselves and ask, "Does an ethical designer construct the interaction of a health-harming product?" Will a moral designer use his abilities to promote war and propaganda? Since it is selfevident that copying another designer's work is immoral, what about participating in competitions based on other designers' work? Is it possible for design to be both environmentally friendly and sustainable? Designers are in charge of maintaining relationships with those that contribute to the quality of the creation. In certain cases, the designer is self-employed and reports to the client directly. The client relationship, like any other personal or business dealing, is driven by ethical concepts of fairness, honesty, and loyalty.
Thanks f
Returning to the two branches of ancient philosophy, "it was Kant who broke the idea of the internal perfection of beauty and thus rendered an approach to modern design by referring to the paradox of aesthetics as conceptuality without concept (purpose without end, as design without function and without concept)," writes Xavi Calvo in an article for Culturplaza (Calvo, 2016). 47

Fast Furniture It doesn't last long.
Particle board covered in laminate or veneer is used to make a lot of quick furniture. If the surface becomes warped, it cannot be sanded back and repainted like solid wood, and when exposed to moisture, the particle board swells and rots.The laminate is also vulnerable to cracking and peeling at the seams. Particle board furniture is unlikely to last more than a few years, particularly if it is exposed to wear and tear (including disassembly and reassembly during a move).

Purchase fewer, higher-quality pieces.
A cluttered home doesn't provide as much satisfaction as we once thought.A household with fewer pieces of furniture is more compact and easier to clean. Even if you buy less furniture, you can afford to spend a little extra on the items you do buy.
It's really inefficient.
Fast furniture makes up a Huge (and growing) portion of landfill waste.

Shop the classic and fashionable.
Explore second-hand and antique stores for exquisite and high-quality furniture at fantastic prices, or purchase upcycled furniture from sites like Etsy. Ignore fads and find out what you want best.
It makes heavy use of wood.
Wood is used to make a variety of furniture, whether it's solid wood or pressed wood like plywood or particle board.Aside from IKEA, many other fast furniture retailers continue to use wood from unsustainable sources.

Clarke, R (2020) “
Look for furniture producers that use non-toxic and environmentally friendly fabrics.
Some furniture manufacturers have been very proactive in phasing out toxic chemicals and shifting to sustainably sourced fabrics, but there are still a few new companies on the scene that produce genuinely clean and sustainable (as opposed to IKEA's FAST) furniture. Even, check into third-party verification, such as GECA
Overproduction
Furniture is manufactured at a breakneck speed to keep up with the rate at which it is consumed. Per three seconds, Ikea manufactures a Billy bookcase. More than 60 million units have now been manufactured, with most of them heading for the garbage.
It's toxic
Particle board is not recyclable or biodegradable. Some furniture, particularly beds and sofas, contain a potent chemical cocktail. Our furniture can release harmful and carcinogenic VOCs and pollute the environment.
Consider buying for the coming years. These don't have to be bulky and dark walnut-stained antiques, but if you invest in a quality piece of solid furniture that you enjoy that will accompany your children from their first words to their first date (and beyond), why wouldn't you want to keep it in your family?

Consider recyclability and biodegradability.
Consider recyclability and biodegradability. Select furniture made of durable material. Single materials are easier to use at the end of their lives, and solid materials are more durable and natural/less toxic than veneer. Take your time and be selective. Parotas (2020)
PVC Wallcoverings PVC wall coverings, rather than new furniture or flooring, are the primary source of indoor VOCs and formaldehyde in homes since their surface area is three to four times that of the floor.
Natural wall coverings are cleaner, but they are often more costly. If you can't afford them, at the very least, stop buying wall coverings that contain flame retardants and antimicrobials. Where possible, choose PVC-free plastic. (Stelmack, A. 2014)
Vinyl and non-vinyl wall coverings are highly flammable due to their high plastic content.To reduce fire risk, manufacturers use halogenated flame retardants to protect wall coverings.

What to Look for in an Eco-Friendly Wallpaper: Water-Based Ink Printed Wallpaper
Generally, water-based ink is preferable to solvent-based ink. Solventbased ink is likely to be higher in VOCs. Low & Zero-VOC Wallpaper
Wallpapers labeled with the Greenguard certification mean they have low levels of VOCs. But I would be surprised if any water-based ink wallpaper couldn’t meet that level. Look for low or zero-VOC waterbased inks or paint. Get a sample if you are chemically sensitive. PVC-Free Wallpaper
The vast majority of wallpaper is coated in PVC/vinyl which contains harmful plasticizers that are not counted as VOCs or measured in certifications like Greenguard Gold. In 2010,The Ecology Center tested 2,300 types of wallpaper (from 11 different brands), 96% of them had PVC as a coating.
Types of wallcovering adhesives include vinyl on vinyl, used for binding together two vinyl surfaces.The adhesive for securing vinyl on vinyl tends to have higher levels of VOCs.

Some brands contained tin, silver and titanium dioxide that can also be added to the mixes. Newer chemicals include intumescent flame retardant, which is supposed to be safer.
To combat fungus and bacteria, most wall covering adhesives include biocides as PBTs, or toxic chemicals that do not break down in the atmosphere and build up in concentration in the food chain.
Endocrine activity is reported to be disrupted by them.

Different Types of Organisations and Their Characteristics
Thanks f 53
As in any business, the organisational chart in a design company is essential so that everyone
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
involved in it knows what their role is and who their work depends on.

What are the benefits of having an organizational chart in a design firm?
In addition to the foregoing, an organizational chart enables efficient communication and work planning inside the company, as well as streamlining all procedures.
Its main goal is to present and objectively display the company's hierarchical structure to everyone. It enables the creation of an internal classification system for professionals. “Organizational structure refers to both the formal and informal frameworks
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
that shape how a business is operated. An organization's structure determines how employees are grouped together and plays a large role in a firm's success.
Thanks f Choosing a structure is not a one-sizefits-all decision, and business owners
must select the model that best suits the
needs of their organization.”
(Murray, 2020)

According to LaToya J. Murray , in her text “Introduction to Organizational Structure·” (Houston Chronicle, 2020) We can find a range of business structures: Matrix Structure
A matrix organization has features of both the functional and divisional structures and is perhaps the most complex. A matrix structure groups employees into project teams containing people from different functional areas of the business; they generally have to report to more than one supervisor. Matrix organizations choose team members based on the needs of the project, with the teams benefiting from the different viewpoints and skill levels. Matrix organizations may struggle with role and authority conflicts.
Functional Structure
In a functional structure, employees that perform similar tasks and hold similar positions are grouped together into departments. Examples of functional departments include marketing, sales, human resources and production. Functional organizations have many advantages in the areas of coordination and motivation, with Lamar University reporting that "people grouped together according to similarities in their positions can easily communicate and share information with each other." Functional organizations may suffer from interdepartmental conflict, and achieving effective communication between departments that each perform independent functions can prove difficult.
Newer Forms
As the world around us changes, so must the business environment. Many organizations now utilize relatively new structures to keep up with ever-changing needs. The flat organization, also referred to as a horizontal structure, exists when there are few or no hierarchical levels between employees and supervisors. Staff and management work together to make the decisions in this type of organization.
Virtual organizations operate primarily via electronic communications. They require minimum face-to-face contact, if any, and benefit from lower overhead costs than comparable brick-and-mortar firms. (Murray, 2020)
Thanks f
Divisional Structure
The most common divisional structures group employees together by product, market served or geographic location. Within this type of organization, each division is self-contained and has its own set of departments grouped by function. Divisional organizations benefit from the focus on individual environments but suffer from the duplication of some tasks and activities
Effect on Organizational Culture
An organization's structure and its culture are very much intertwined. An organization's culture can best be described as a collective personality represented by a shared set of experiences and values. Structure shapes not only how groups are formed, but also the behavior, attitudes and relationships of those groups. (Murray, 2020). I want to reproduce here a very interesting and instructive for real life of a designer’s work article from Scott Kubie
“Design jobs and design roles are not the same
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
thing.
Many product teams struggle to collaborate well on projects — making websites, building apps, creating content, authoring documentation, etc. — because they have not distinguished jobs from roles. Too often, teams allow roles to be merely inferred by job title, rather than slowing down to have a conversation about who’s doing what and why. This is anywhere from inefficient to downright dangerous.
Ultimately, I believe that project roles are more important, useful, and relevant to design work than job titles.
In this article, I’m going to explain how I define jobs and roles, talk about why the distinction is important, and give some tips on sorting through the mess.
Jobs describe your relationship to the company
Jobs — or positions, if you like, you fancy lad — describe the relationship of an individual employee to the company that they work for. Repeat after me: Jobs = company. Jobs = company.
This one’s easy, right? We all know what jobs are. They’re the things we apply for, the things listed in the classifieds, the content type that populates job boards. They’re the things we take and the things we quit and the things we get paid for having.
Jobs usually have at least two components: a job title, and a job description.
In product/platform-focused tech companies, it’s common for one’s title and description to hew closely to a particular technical skillset or design discipline. For instance: You hire a Content Strategist, with a job description that pulls heavily from a general description of what a content strategist does, and that hire leads content strategy for your product. Cool, nice. Or you hire a Lead Javascript Engineer, and that person leads a team of Javascript engineers already working on the product. Simple! Certainly this 1:1 job:work model will scale easily without problems for the life of the product. Or…not. (More on this in a bit.) Meanwhile, in enterprise-scale / multi-product / multi-business-line organizations (and big institutions like universities or hospital systems), job titles are often more abstract. Rather than specifying a discrete skillset needed on a product team, these titles tend to be representative of things like core competency, experience level, tenure, and funding area.
Thanks f
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
Business Analyst II, Junior Communications Associate, Technical Engineer IV, that sort of thing. Applicants for these jobs have to do a little more work to understand exactly where they’ll be assigned and what kind of work they’ll be doing day-to-day. This model is my strong preference, and I’ll explain more about why in a minute.
Jobs exist at the organizational level. They are the unit represented on an org chart. Org charts tell you who can fire whom. But most org charts don’t tell you how to get the work done. To figure that out, we have to use things like project plans, self-organizing frameworks like Scrum, RACI charts, workflow and process diagrams, governance plans, and so on. And those things all work better with well-articulated roles.
Roles describe your relationship to the work
Roles describe an individual’s relationship to a bit of work that needs doing. They typically exist at the project level, or as part of some sort of governance plan or accountability chart. Repeat after me: Roles = project. Roles = project. (Or assignment. Or build. Or sprint. Or whatever unit you’re using to divide and plan the work.)
Any collaborative undertaking of human effort creates roles. Let’s say you volunteer to organize a birthday celebration for your coworker Carol. Good for you! Your role on this project is now, say, Party Planner. Or Birthday Czar. Whatever you want to call it. You probably won’t call it anything. The point is, you’ve taken on a specific role (party planner) on a specific project (Carol’s
birthday party). If you’re sick or overloaded, you could pass that role — that named or unnamed set of responsibilities to organize the party — off to someone else.
Let’s now say that your job title at this company is Senior User Experience Designer. Does organizing Carol’s birthday party mean that you are now, in addition to being a UX designer, also an Employee Engagement Specialist? Do you need to start going to Employee Engagement conferences instead of UX conferences? Do you need to jump on Lynda and find a course on how to facilitate human resources training seminars? Obviously not, mate! You’re just planning a party.
Roles are powerful because they can be assigned to teams, or to positions, or even to other organizations. For instance, I rarely see org charts that represent vendors and contractors. Yet these vendors and contractors are often critical partners in getting the design work done.
Where organizations get it wrong with job titles
Thanks f Articulating and assigning roles is often one of the first steps I have to take to help teams get their work back on track. Job titles and descriptions are often outdated and overly-restrictive. They make people territorial, and they often prevent people from using the full set of skills available to them because it “isn’t their job”.
This mindset – Role Articulation Deficiency Syndrome (RADS), let’s call it – sucks all of the energy out of the room and makes every bit of work feel like you’re fighting your way uphill. RADS symptoms include:
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
Identity politics – “Making wireframes would help me solve this problem, but I’m a content strategist! We don’t make wireframes, we use our words!”
Office politics – “That’s not what our department does.”
Vocabulary misalignment – “Oh, is THAT what a content designer does? I thought you guys were just making our infographics!”
This nonsense doesn’t happen when a group of well-intentioned people come together without preconceived notions about the work and their relationship to it, which is exactly what we get with overly-specific job titles. Instead, smart people who want to get some work done come together and ask:
What needs doing? (Articulating roles)
Who’s the best person/team to do it? (Assigning roles)
That’s it, that’s the whole trick for creating roles: have a conversation about it with the people who will be doing the work. You can use fancy tools if you like, but a three-column table in a Word document gets it done, too:
Column 1: Role (a descriptive label)
Column 2: Description (bullet points outlining the responsibilities)
Column 3: Assignment (position/team occupying this role).
Jobs and roles, like peanut butter and jelly.
Jobs and roles can work together. In my work as a content strategist, I encourage teams to assign roles to positions rather than people — the position of VP of Marketing might change hands every year, for instance, but the position persists no matter how many people sit in that office.
Roles can even be called out in job descriptions. E.g., “In this position, you will serve as the [Role Name] on [Product X].”
In a startup company with a single product with relatively few features and a clear understanding of the work that needs done, job descriptions are often written such that the overlap between the job description and the role the person in that job will inhabit on their projects approaches 100%. But that overlap is a happy coincidence of being small and focused, not some sort of ideal that needs to be maintained through the life of the company. The overlap gets lost as the product, and the work, gets more complicated. Overly-specific job titles encourage people to get territorial, either by avoiding work they should contribute to or protecting work they’d be better off inviting collaboration on.
There are two nasty drawbacks of the hiring process that roles can help us overcome:
Job descriptions are generally written before we’ve hired a specific person, with a specific set of skills and experiences.
Job descriptions are written to support the work that we’re aware of, which does not include: work we were not aware of, and work that reveals itself in the future.
Thanks f
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
Roles, meanwhile, can be carved out right then and there to respond to who’s on the team and the work that needs doing. An example from my consulting work: Organizations usually underestimate the type and amount of effort that will be required to support their websites. Underestimating leads to under resourcing, which means that there’s lots of work to be done and seemingly no one to do it. But the website has to be maintained, the content has to be published, and so we’ve got to figure it out. That’s why I so often find myself helping these teams articulate the work that needs done and assigning people to do it.
Here’s another way to think about it: if our job titles and descriptions are so important, why does it so often feel like we have to scramble to capture and reassign someone’s responsibilities when they announce they’re leaving? It’s almost like in the course of their employment, they ended up inhabiting a variety of … roles … on different projects … hmm, hmm.
Using job titles and roles together means that you can attract and recruit people with the right skill set, and help people get the titles they want for their resumes, while still ensuring that the actual work that needs doing gets done.” (Kubie, 2020)
Nothing else to add here, honestly. Scott is a leading voice in content strategy and UX writing, Scott Kubie is an inventive, systems-minded designer with deep experience in all things content.
Perhaps from reading this article, one might think: What does web design or technology design have to do with Interior Design? I feel all branches of Design are in such a way subtly intertwined, since designing an interior of a room, an office, a vehicle, a school (whatever) is creating a User Experience that leaves a deep impression on people's senses and moods. "I like it here". Our aim.

Using job titles and roles together means that you can attract and recruit people with the right skill set, and help people get the titles they want for their resumes, while still ensuring that the actual work that needs doing gets done.
If you want to fight RADS and create a more collaborative design culture, I invite you to strongly consider more generic job titles for your design and product teams … and way, way, way more RACI charts and role articulation.

As mentioned by Sean Joiner (2020) “With our talk of titles, one might wonder a common question within the disciplines of architecture and interior design. How does an Interior Architect differ from an Interior Designer? There is much disagreement on this question. As with our previous discussions on the subtleties between similar titles, many use Interior Designer and Interior Architect interchangeably, with the most significant difference (according to some) being that the Interior Architect can work more effectively with the structural and architectural aspects of an interior space — gutting walls and other forms of interior construction, for example. A prevalent form of "interior architecture" would be adaptive-reuse projects. But, of course, anyone who has worked in the Interior Design field knows that Interior Designers can engage in this kind of work as well. Ultimately, the difference can be a semantical one, it can be fundamental to how one bills their time to a client, and it can determine what kind of work is
undertaken. It all depends on the context.”. Some of the typical qualifications and responsibilities firms seek in an Interior Designer are:
Select and coordinate FFE (Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment)
Degree in Architecture, Interior Design, Interior Architecture or related field
Proficiency in relevant design software including Revit, ArchiCAD, and other similar programs
Coordinate with in-house architectural team
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Knowledge of local codes.
"The best way to describe my primary responsibilities is 'a little bit of everything.' I've worked with some architects that love the design process and want to be involved in everything, furniture included. I've also worked with some architects that are more technical and ask me to lead the design," said Emily Evans, WELL AP, an Interior
Designer and Project Manager at Verona Carpenter Architects in New York City.
"As a Project Manager at a small firm, my role is extremely client-facing and requires coordination with consultants, but I'm also heavily involved in the drawings," Evans continued. In this smaller-sized setting, Evans also works as the firm's WELL AP and reviews items for health and wellness adherence. "I think the biggest misconception amongst both architects and the general public is that interior designers only select finishes and furniture. People who only select finishes are decorators. Interior design requires so much more," Evans explained to me. With a BFA in Interior Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Evans expanded her expertise and focus within the profession beyond the discipline of interior design into that of architecture, something she sees as a holistic relationship. "You have to be willing to do your job 'holistically', meaning, your work doesn't stop with selecting finishes. (Joiner, 2020)

According to the assignment brief, three people work in my tiny studio. Me, as Director and Senior Designer, a Junior Interior Designer and a CAD technician. These are the so-called roles in the company. Being three people, the three of us would do various jobs, regardless of our job description, as reducing the activity of such a small company to these job descriptions is to dramatically restrict the work. (The holistic thing mentioned above).

As we can read in its website, COBLONAL INTERIORISMO is an architecture and interior design studio led by Joan Llongueras and Jordi Mercè that has participated in more than 400 projects throughout its 20 years of activity.
“We design, develop and produce all kinds of projects for homes, offices and commercial premises everywhere.
We take care of the whole process. We act as architects, interior designers and decorators in the definition and development of the project and then take charge of its management and production as a construction company. We start from the initial concept to the smallest detail, right through to turnkey handover.” (Coblonal interiorismo, 2021).
Thanks f Let´s compare both structures.
The phrase "holistic", originated from Greek: "holos", has become one of the meanings on everybody's lips regardless of the field in which we are. In the realm of business, too. But what is the holistic strategy formulation exactly?
Business holistic.
Business as a whole.
It is essential to understand that all refer to keywords such as "all," "global," and "generic."
According to Quattro collaborators (2021) ,while many policies have been aimed towards employees skillset and jobs for decades, today trend is the other way around.
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
In other words, if we too split and direct workers to specific skills, they may lose the broader and strategic view of the company or its surroundings and lose their identity, who fail to grasp how the achievement of their job promotes general goals.
Thanks f
This can lead to a slight sense of frustration and a lack of identification with our organisational culture or business objectives. Therefore, we should not lose scope on maintaining a global vision of the business, considering both internal contexts and those more distant elements that affect the development of our business activity (external context).

Of course, this is motivated by the global nature of the current economic system. Any change can affect our company even if it originates in the furthest corner of the world.
of our organisation are his or her own. We will have much more motivated, confident and happy employees.
Maria del Carmen Corral Lodeiro. 72546664
This perspective is an exciting challenge for companies, which must always work with a global perspective that allows them to foresee possible changes and anticipate them.
In addition, a holistic vision of the company proposes that employees should not carry out their tasks through a high degree of specialisation in watertight departments, in which they lose contact with the reality of the sector or with the rest of the organisation's teams. The holistic strategy proposes the opposite: to create interdisciplinary workgroups or teams so that each person can contribute their perspective and experience to the solution of a problem.
In this way, the employee will feel part of the company, understand the overall objectives set by management and increase his or her sense of belonging. They will no longer feel isolated, but part of a gear, of a whole in which they also play an essential role.
Moreover, there is nothing better than implementing a strategy or solving a problem from an array of perspectives. For example: if the launch of a new product that will generate profits for the company involves people from all departments forming a single working team in which each person contributes their ideas, opinions or considerations.
This is closely linked to another intriguing concept: synergy. That is to say, the sum of the parts will obtain a better result than each one working separately.
At the strategic level, this is something that has been worked on for a long time. Of course, in the real business world,
better results will be obtained if all employees or departments work in the same direction rather than individually fighting their own battle.
Thanks f
If we understand the company's objectives and know which way it wants to go, the employee will feel that the business successes

ISO standards and a quality management system are very much aimed at all parts of the company working in a coordinated way to achieve a common goal: quality. This involves a holistic view of the company in that the departments must work together and be aware of possible changes in the environment.(Quattro, 2021)
Let´s go to the point.

A junior designer or architect must collaborate with senior design team members on project goals, assisting with design concepts and interfacing with the clients to ensure needs are being met in a timely fashion. This is a highly collaborative team-player role that requires exceptional attention to detail and interpersonal skills. In addition, Junior Interior Designer can carry on-site works management.
