Sustainable Development Interaction between Humans and the Interior Architecture
Downloads
This research explores the evolution of sustainability in interior architectural environments by analysing four distinct settings: Egyptian, African, Japanese, and Chinese. These environments were chosen due to their climatic similarities and shared characteristics. The study examines representative dwelling models from each environment to understand how advanced sustainability can be tailored to each context.
The research follows a structured approach, beginning with analysing human-environment interactions and the influence of culture on these dynamics. It delves into the evolution of interior architecture through various historical stages, considering factors like urban expansion, globalization, contemporary design, and technological advancements. The study also looks at the economic and social changes that have shaped interior architecture in these diverse environments.
By creating a line graph illustrating these developments, the research highlights the progression of interior architecture across different historical periods. The findings suggest that sustainable development in interior architecture can be enhanced by drawing inspiration from ancient cultures. Traditional design elements, such as natural materials, symbolic colours, and energy-efficient layouts, offer valuable lessons for contemporary architects and designers. By integrating these time-tested techniques, modern interior architecture can achieve a balance between cultural heritage preservation and ecological sustainability, leading to designs that are harmonious with the environment.
