EVALUATION
In 21 century, the continuous consumption of materials and the growing amount of rubbish, they are not on a balanced state, and both of them are damaging the natural environment. Thinking of the video which was played in lesson, told the condition nowadays is a vicious circle, demand always exceeds supply. As a result, the Sustainable design is more popular.
In 21 century, the continuous consumption of materials and the growing amount of rubbish, they are not on a balanced state, and both of them are damaging the natural environment. Thinking of the video which was played in lesson, told the condition nowadays is a vicious circle, demand always exceeds supply. As a result, the Sustainable design is more popular.
What I have understand from the course is there are four elements of sustainable design, they are nature, social, economy and technique.
•Nature: Discover a better ecological system to support the completeness of life and make human's living environment to be last longer and longer.
•Social: Improve people's quality of live within the natural environment's tolerance.
•Economy: For this aspect, I couldn't really make those relation clear, it seems a little complicated to describe, I only know that the sustainable design maximum the net advantage for people.
•Technique: it's cleaner and more effective, it makes less consumption of natural resource, and the final product produces less rubbish.
From the course, I've learnt more on how to classify and use those materials. The most important thing is it keep reminding me to consider how to combine the design with the nature; how to improve a green life for human. During the lesson, the subject-matter is more related to textiles, but the concept of them are more or less the same.
At present, interior design is not only about physical environment such as sound, light and air, but also people's mental environment. A space now, it must cater to customer's psychological need, vision and feeling are indispensable to it. Therefore, different new technical materials to be produced. The use of new material and technique change the way of design and improve the health of living area, and then expand to the whole environment.
In the research process, all the theory materialize become pictures and real things over the world, I could factually feel the effect and knew what is a sustainable design deeper. Found out how important it is in our daily life, then it gave me more attraction to let myself go into it.
However, from my own way of thinking and concern,I found myself always focus on REUSE rather than on other aspect; I read through my blog, 80% of content are about how to change old stuffs into a totally new thing, feels less research on real ecological design. I think I must expand my view to a higher level, such as the new materials in interior area, also its provenance and property. Keep an eye on the mega-trend is absolutely important for a designer.
