The Criteria of the Environmental Interior Design

Abstract: The current increasing interest in the importance of establishing the concept of environmental architecture in the design of modern buildings, adopting sustainability methods, formed a new challenge for interior designing, putting environmental considerations as top priorities in order to achieve the physical and spiritual needs of the user. Despite the modern tendency in the production of distinct architectural works in its designs, imitating the surrounding ecosystems, it lack in many of its interior design aspects embodying interior spaces that take into account not only the application of environmental determinants from a physical perspective that depends on the use of natural raw materials and attempts to maintain internal thermal performance, but they also lack the psychological comfort and organic communication between their internal spaces and environmental components, which depend on the ecological aspects and the application of modern technology. Hence, we find the importance of studying the criteria of the environmental Interior design.
