A Contextual Theory and Application of Eco-Interior In Indonesia

The design with environmental friendly approach or ecological approach regarded as one of
methods in design area to respond the environmental degradation issue. Interior design with ecological
approach called as eco-interior. How is the eco-interior approach understood as conceptual theory and
applied practically on the concrete object of building space became problem in this research. The study
of contextual eco-interior theory and application in Indonesia was conducted to obtain the concrete
representation regarding the understanding of eco-interior theory and application has been conducted
contextually in Indonesia. The qualitative method in this research was conducted by phases of:
theoretical problem, idea diagnosis and argumentation, practical views exploration, objects exploration
and evaluation, and conclusion. The design objects that were designed with the environmental insight
orientation were represented as model. The research results were in the form of the classification and
comparison of eco-interior application on each of study objects. The classification indicated the
applied aspect have been sought maximally (as the design focus) and have not been applied maximally
(the traces of architectural design).
