SUSTAINABILITY AND AESTHETICS IN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DESIGN: STRATEGIES FOR CREATING ECOFRIENDLY AND VISUALLY APPEALING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the ways in which sustainability and aesthetics may be incorporated into both exterior and interior design. The strategies that are the focus of this study are those that generate environments that are both ecologically sustainable and aesthetically beautiful. Concerns about the environment are growing, and along with them comes the challenge for the design industry to create places that are visually appealing while also minimising the bad consequences that these surroundings have on the environment. This challenge arises from factors such as the amount of energy used, the materials used, and the nature of the design process itself. Important concepts such as biophilic design and cradle-to-cradle principles are discussed, in addition to sustainable materials and technology that is efficient in its use of energy. In addition to this, it examines the challenges that are associated with acquiring materials that are favorable to the environment as well as the perceived costs that are associated with sustainable design. The initiative examines successful case studies and emerging trends in order to offer designers practical guidelines for achieving a balance between aesthetics and sustainability. The findings make it abundantly evident that sustainability and aesthetics are not aims that are incompatible with one another; rather, they have the potential to inspire innovative approaches to design that may enhance the environment without compromising aesthetic appeal. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the ongoing discussion on sustainable design by concentrating on the future of interior and exterior design in a society that is growing more environmentally conscious.
