Vegetation Concept in Interior Space Design as Sick Building Syndrome Solution

Abstract

Sick building syndrome is a thing that happens in the area of interior architecture. Specifically, issues with user activity that are caused by health issues and discomfort in spaces caused by poor air quality in buildings. There is a remedy for this issue that may also be used to post-pandemic space planning. Applying the idea of vegetation to the design of space is one option. The purpose of this study is to describe the idea of using plants in interior spaces, which will impact how comfortable a user's workspace is. A qualitative descriptive research method based on the biophilic design theory will be used for this study. The findings of this study should serve as a guide for interior architects as they incorporate the idea of plants into spatial design to combat sick building syndrome. The characters and plant life that are used in interior design are those that can effectively absorb toxins and enhance air quality.
