1. Introduction

I will be making use of this blog to post the research I find and further investigate the area study I chose to discuss in my essay.

My Area of Study
I decided to base my essay on Sustainable Design. Being an extreme vast subject, I came up with a mind map to help me decided on a title and also what areas I want to base the essay on.

I divided it in sections;

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN 

-interiors

-architectural

-residential space

The reason why I chose sustainable design is because it's a subject that should be in the interest of everyone, both financial and environment wise. If no-one takes an action our world continues to become more toxic for future generations. This is why designers should consider sustainability in everything they design. 


Aim
My aim in this assay is to prove that sustainable interior spaces can work and be as captivating and appealing as the ones that aren't, and that in the near future we could start designing and producing everything sustainable for a cleaner environment. 


Title

Looking back at the mind map above, I tried to choose something which interests me and has to do with what I want to do in the future. After this year I'm aiming to graduate in interior design, so I worked out the title to be;

Sustainable Design in Domestic Environment.

The reason why I chose this title is because I want to focus on home interiors; how the user can live in a space that was environment-considered throughout the whole design process. The title or the subject needs to be altered in the future because it's very general, and I'm still deciding whether to include architectural aspects as well. For the moment I am researching both subjects, see what I find and decide with the help of my tutor.
