Abstract
When individuals are uncertain or perceive a situation to be intimidating, values are emphasized towards safety, security, and comfort. In the same perspective, interior volume is directly related to health and safety of the user. Attitudes are prioritized towards endurance of healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all. With respect to indoor environment sensitivity, interior spaces need to be monitored. During the process of designing buildings, there is a need to devote more care to interior environmental design. Individuals can govern safety by making a conscious effort in selecting materials in response ‘to the purpose’ of use in the interior spaces. The sensory experience in space is related to magnetism of the space by the touch-feel notion. In consideration of the design, a look into the use of material surface applications needs to be considered to give a checklist for creating a healthy environment for everyone to be comfortable in regard to interiors. Sometimes, we find ourselves not physically comfortable in a space, with common symptoms as headache, irritation of eyes, causing discomfort. The paper aims to review materials in relation to impacts for a healthy design approach In conclusion, a comprehensive approach for balancing “accountability of material vs creative idea solutions” in design practice, with an assessment method for its application is evolved. It has the potential to be considered an important clause for the next generation.
