Increasing interest in the psychological effects of interior spaces on individuals, focusing on how design can influence emotions, behaviors, and overall quality of life.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Design Aesthetics:
There seems to be a waning interest in conventional design aesthetics that prioritize visual appeal over user experience, functionality, or cultural relevance. - Static Design Principles:
Research that adheres strictly to traditional design principles without considering dynamic and flexible approaches appears less frequently, indicating a shift towards more adaptable and context-sensitive methodologies. - Historical Preservation without Innovation:
While historical contexts remain important, there is a noted decrease in studies focused solely on preservation techniques without incorporating innovative design solutions or contemporary relevance. - Single-Disciplinary Studies:
There is a decline in publications that focus exclusively on interior design without interdisciplinary connections, as the field increasingly embraces collaborative approaches with other disciplines.
