“…Leveraging technology and innovation can facilitate the reinterpretation of cultural heritage in contemporary interior aesthetics. Digital tools such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) enable designers to visualize and experiment with cultural motifs and architectural elements in virtual environments, fostering creativity and exploration (Gura & Pile, 2013). Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing and parametric design, offer opportunities to reimagine traditional forms and materials in innovative ways, blurring the boundaries between past and present (Fiell & Fiell, 2012).…”

Contemporary interior design, while propelled by evolving trends and technological advancements, often overlooks the profound influence of culture and heritage on aesthetic preferences and spatial arrangements. This oversight diminishes the authenticity of designed spaces and undermines their ability to resonate with diverse communities. This paper seeks to bridge this gap by conducting a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between culture, heritage, and interior aesthetics. Drawing from a rich array of case studies and theoretical frameworks, it delves into how cultural heritage shapes design decisions, ranging from the layout of spaces to the selection of materials and furnishings. Through thematic analysis and synthesis of existing literature, the paper elucidates the diverse ways in which cultural heritage enriches interior design practice. By celebrating and integrating diverse cultural influences, spaces can be created that are not only visually captivating but also deeply meaningful and inclusive. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights and guidelines for designers to embrace cultural heritage in their practice, fostering greater authenticity and inclusivity in interior design.

“…Through detailed analysis, Edwards highlights how socio-cultural factors have influenced design trends and spatial arrangements throughout history. These cultures adorned their spaces with ornate furnishings, colourful murals, and intricate mosaics, reflecting their beliefs and societal structures (Pile, 2013). Fiell and Fiell (2010) provides a rather comprehensive exploration of the history of interior design and its timeline, going further back in time spanning from prehistoric times to the contemporary era.…”

“…The Baroque and Rococo styles emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, characterized by opulence, drama, and elaborate ornamentation, drawing attention to the influence of European monarchies and cultural exchange (Pile, 2013). Interiors were adorned with gilded furniture, ornate mirrors, and intricate stucco decorations, creating lavish and theatrical spaces, reflecting a renewed interest in simplicity and order.…”

Interior Design history and timeline offer fascinating explorations of the evolution of design practices across various civilizations and epochs. This paper, delves into the rich heritage of interior design, tracing its trajectory from Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt to Contemporary global trends. Drawing upon the interdisciplinary insights from Art History, Architecture, Sociology, and Technology studies, the study examines the cultural, social, and technological factors that have shaped interior design over time. Key themes include the influence of cultural contexts, the role of historical legacies, and the impact of technological advancements on design evolution. Through qualitative inquiry and comprehensive literature reviews, the research elucidates the enduring relevance and dynamic nature of Interior Design, providing valuable insights for contemporary designers and scholars.

“…The oldest shelter built by humans is said to have originated in Terra Amata in south France about 400,000 years ago. Theremains show that it was built from the branches of trees forming huts [14]. A French architectural theorist and historian, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, in "The Habitations of Man in All Ages", showed how the shelter making started.…”

Architectural Design Criteria Considering the Circular Economy and Buildability for Smart Disaster Relief Shelter Prototyping

The frequency of natural disasters is exacerbated by the escalating impacts of climate change with the need for effective relief shelters for victims and displaced individuals. Providing accessible and easy-to-assemble relief shelters is essential in addressing these needs. Due to climate-related challenges and the need for sustainable solutions, the integration of circularity principles in shelter design has become imperative. Circular economy principles promote the efficient use of resources, minimising waste generation and the cost of shelters. Moreover, a considerable number of people usually suffer from homelessness, and an increasing number of families live in slums in every part of the globe. All such people are entitled to be housed in affordable, safe, and appropriate shelters for at least several months after a disaster until they can either rebuild their former houses or find somewhere decent to settle after recovering from the hardship. With the aim of investigating the immediate housing needs of people after a disaster, this paper identifies the essential factors that must be taken into account during shelter design. The paper also presents the prototype developed on the basis of theoretical criteria and the identified factors. The paper’s main objectives were to design an easy-to-assemble emergency shelter on circular economy principles, identify critical factors for the circularity and buildability of the shelter, and present a proposed smart shelter acceptance model. The methodology behind the research involves conducting an intensive literature review and creating a novel prototype of a smart disaster relief shelter on the basis of long-run laboratory work and various prototype iterations. The paper presents the details of the novel prototype and shows materials that enhance the circularity of the shelter, according to a unique architectural design strategy of ‘reusing’ materials to enhance circularity practice in the design and construction sectors. The prototype was developed in a workshop after 6 months of reiterations using plastic water bottles, basic pipes, and other reusable materials. Then, by incorporating the essential factors, a set of criteria was designed that can be used as a guide for the architectural design of shelters. The criteria offered in this paper are useful to evaluate each factor’s importance in shelter design. In total, 51 effective factors in designing and constructing such accommodation are presented, clustered into five design strategy groups: social–cultural, physical–technical, environmental, economic, and organisational.
