The Principles And Methods Of Ecological Interior Design

In recent years, due to human activity in the natural environment, the deterioration of living environment force people to re-examine the behavior of human beings, as well as the relationship between man and nature with the concept of sustainable development.It is in this background that eco-architecture emerge. Interior eco-design is an important content of eco-architecture, but also the new trend in modern interior design and development under the influence of the modern ecological concept. This paper gives a brief introduction to the standards of living environment and the status of the current "ecological design". And then, this paper analyse the interior object, content and the purpose of eco-design based on the concepts and principles of ecology and the principles of ecological building design. This paper also expound the theory and design methods of interior eco-design from the interior design constitute the elements of acoustic environment, light environment, thermal environment, use of materials and the selection of green plants. The status quo, the the principles and methods of interior eco-design is still at the exploratory stage in concept. If implemented in our country, there still exixit the limiting factors of objective conditions which subject to the universal implementation. However, it is urgent to propose the eco-interior design ideas and methods. At the end of this article, it describes the development trend of the interior eco-design, propose the interior eco-design development strategy in China and take the road which requires combination of our country conditions. At the new starting point of 21st century, we must have the ecological consciousness and thought to save resources, reduce energy consumption and reduce pollution. The completion of interior ecological design is not just a matter of design, but also needs everyone and the whole community to work together. Hope that the principles of ecological design and background factors this paper proposed would provide meaningful ideas and methods for the future design practice and promote the modern interior design to a higher level.
