Decision point C: Decisions about changes (if any) and use (e.g., making the innovation more manageable and easy to implement) are teacher-centered rather than student-centered.Level 4a: Routine Use The teacher establishes a routine pattern of innovation use

Amos Rapoport stated that the built environmentholds meaning as part of a cultural system of symbols, and influences our actions and ourdeterminations of social order [4]. It also has been a consensus that designers must understandthe effect of the physical manifestation of design on people in the body of knowledge of theinterior design profession [2]. Therefore, understanding the symbolic meanings conveyed bydesign elements become crucial for
