​The construction sector has been found to be responsible for 40% of global CO2 emissions annually (Architecture2030, 2023). Therefore, in order to meet people's need for healthy living conditions and to save energy, sustainability in interior architectural projects is encouraged. The purpose of this session is to present an interdisciplinary methodology for learning about the environment and sustainability in interior design programmes. Examples of creative design projects and the creation process will be presented and discussed critically, based on material selection, aspects of functionality and aesthetics, as well as the challenges encountered during thinking and making. The session will also offer innovative design practice opportunities and ideas for our learning communities, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
