Reducing the Effects of the Concept of Temporality on the Carbon Footprint in Interior with the Use of Biomaterials

Abstract

The redefinition of spatial composition in interior spaces, which are designed for temporary use, and the increase in hidden carbon footprint in each application necessitate the use of eco-friendly, nature-compatible biomaterials in these spaces. The utilization of natural and biomimetic sustainable building materials is expected to reduce the hidden carbon footprint of structures and products, contributing to sustainability through their application in constantly changing interior spatial compositions. This study examines the relationship between biomimicry and materials, investigates biomaterials that can be used in interior design, and questions their usability in constantly changing interior spaces that require new uses and functions within the context of 'transience'. The aim of this study is to provide information about the use of biomimicry in materials for interior spaces and its impact on the carbon footprint, as well as to explain its influence on the creation process of interior environments. By offering a new perspective on interior design processes, this study aims to evaluate the contributions of biomaterials to nature and spatial designs through existing examples, raise awareness regarding the potential benefits that can be provided to the environment, and create awareness.

Keywords

İç Mekânda Geçicilik Kavramının Karbon Ayak İzine Etkilerini Biyomalzeme Kullanımı ile Azaltma

Öz

Geçici kullanım amacıyla tasarlanan iç mekânların her uygulamada mekân kurgusunun yeniden tanımlanması ve gizli karbon ayak izini artırması, bu mekânlarda doğa dostu, doğa ile uyumlu biyomalzemelerin kullanılmasını gerektirmektedir. Doğal ve biyomimetrik sürdürülebilir yapı malzemelerinin, sürekli değişen iç mekân kurguları üzerinde kullanımı ile yapı ve ürünlerdeki gizli karbon ayak izini azaltması ve sürdürülebilirliğe katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma, biyomimikri ve malzeme ilişkisini analiz ederek iç mekân tasarımlarında kullanılabilecek biyomalzemelerin araştırılmasını ve bu malzemelerin sürekli değişen, yeni kullanım ve işlev gerektiren iç mekânlarda 'geçicilik' bağlamında kullanılabilirliğini sorgulamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, biyomimikrinin malzeme üzerinden iç mekânlarda kullanımı ile karbon ayak izine etkileri konusunda bilgi sağlamak ve iç mekânların yaratım sürecine etkilerini açıklamaktır. Bu çalışma, iç mekân tasarım süreçlerine yeni bir bakış açısı kazandırarak mevcut örnekler üzerinden biyomalzemelerin doğaya ve mekân tasarımlarına katkılarını değerlendirmeyi ve çevreye sağlanabilecek yarar potansiyelinde farkındalık oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir.
