Sustainable World: Student Projects in Interior Design

The following images are of two projects which are used to stimulate the thinking of interior design students about sustainable design. The commitment of the profession to these principles is no longer a desire of a few; it is the consensus of the professional organizations of both interior design and architecture. It is also a concept that is not difficult to convince the students is needed. They , and their clients and communities will inherit the world we are now using and misusing. The Mattamuskeet Enivironmental Learning Center and the Unplugged Office Building are shown here as a demonstration of the student’s skills in understanding and designing within the constraints of a sustainable world.
