This dissertation
is
carried out
as
part of the MSc in
Strategic Product Design
at the International Hellenic University.
The theme
concerns
the field of
space design, approaching products as an ensemble which represents the space
. It is inspired by main needs of modern people,
such as the need of
relaxation, mental clarity and
internal balance,
which are difficult to
be covered
nowadays
due to the modern way of living.
My
intention
to design such a
space
was
to meet these needs,
and I believe that this is achieved
through
its
anthropocentric design
.
Its
main
body is consisted by both
theoretical
and design
part
, so both research and development was carried out
.
The final conceptual space design
uses elements of various design
fields, like ergonomics and anthropometrics, semantics and aesthetics, sensory and interactive design, user experience and user interface design. Despite its diverse design, it could be
regarded as a simple construction with realist
implementation possibility.
