Abstract

The incorporation of eco and heritage handicrafts into interior design practice to achieve sustainability is the safeguard for such crafts. In Egypt, there is a wide range of local materials, cultural resources and craftsmen and craftswomen. Many craftsmen no longer find it economically viable to pursue craftsmanship as a primary profession, leading to their market exclusion. This paper attempts to clarify the relation between eco and heritage crafts and the development of sustainable interior spaces. In addition, this paper introduces a practical approach to develop interior spaces of schools buildings based on integration between heritage and eco crafts and interior design practice. Selecting school interiors to be a case study can add an additional potential to employ eco and heritage crafts for educational purposes. Accordingly, the experience of students who are enrolled with such important crafts will be improved.
