INTEGRATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Sustainable design is a global trend that concerns governments and international organizations interested in preserving the environment and its natural resources. The research is intended to clarify the concept of sustainability and its role in architecture and interior design and how to create integration and harmony between interior architecture, outdoor and the environment. Therefore, the design process requires from the designer to balance between the values of the technical formation and the aesthetic, so the extent of the relationship to the environment and it’s Integration with it. The designer must take advantage of environmental characteristics to integrate functional and aesthetic visions to create flexible designs to achieve harmony and unity between interior architecture and environmental vocabulary. The important issue is the integration of technological and ecological sciences to minimize the negative impacts on the environment to achieve the integrative relationship between environmental architecture and interior design towards sustainability. The research addresses the concepts and principles of sustainability of the integrative relationship between environmental architecture and interior design, to emphasize the importance of inspiration from the local environment and traditional architecture to link the benefits of environmental, economic and innovative applications concepts of sustainable and green architecture, for employing them in modern buildings and meet the needs of the adapts to the current era by uses scientific and technological progress in the construction and interior and outdoor design of architecture compatible with the environment.
