With the development of the science disciplines, scientists and philosophers discovered some relationships between good design and a person's psychological health that Lead to physical health. The internal environment elements' aesthetic features may enhance human health and relieve him of contemporary life pressures and difficulties.Hence, the research issue determines the beauty standards in interior design through questionnaires and literature reviews that can judge the beauty or the ugliness of the interior space. What are the reasons for the sense of beauty? What are the motivations of beautiful feelings toward interior designs? And If there a relationship between aesthetic feelings towards interior spaces and human health. Therefore, the research aims to identify the criteria that achieve the beauty of internal space, the standards that lead to it in the interior spaces, and its relation to human health Physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
Year after year knowledge grows and the different fields of science are becoming more intertwined, interrelated and complex. This requires new teaching methodologies for students so they can learn most of these fields. The future students will then be able to learn the full scientific material so that future scientists can easily add to it.
The method of mind mapping is considered one of the most important methods used to improve the teaching process which can achieve maximum potential in the recipient’s understanding of the scientific content with the use of the left and the right hemisphere of the learner's brain to understand and absorb the suggested scientific material. This mind mapping strategy offers the possibility of developing concepts and their links and its classifications in the right categories which saves time and effort to the learner.
The results of a survey for a group of academic and Masters and PHD’s students came out positive on whether they prefer using the mind mapping strategy in teaching design in all stages of education (bachelor, masters and doctorate) for its time and effort saving, especially for students of Design and engineering colleges who deals with colors and pictures. Furthermore, the technical construction during the educational stages of these students within these colleges makes them highly capable of understanding the concepts and relationships in the way of the mind mapping s.
The problem of research resides in the difficulties most professors, even those who have years of experience, face when it comes to their students’ understanding of some materials; some students are slow to absorb some of the contents of the lesson, especially those which are filled with information. The solution is to reduce the amount of information in the lecture, or to divide it.
The purpose of the research is to determine the compatibility of the mind mapping method with the absorption capacity of Design and engineering courses along with determining the extent of its efficiency in the different educational stages? Also, the research asks questions such as:
What are the reasons learners prefer to use mind mapping as strategy? Is it the habit of dealing with colors and images behind the preference of the sample in the way of mind mapping? Or the interest in the practical applications more than the theoretical part of the courses? What is the effect of the technical skills of Design and engineering students majors in their ability to understand the shapes and images used in the method of mind mapping, through the surveys and analytical and the work of surveys.
The most successful designers are those who seek to have a rich ideas. Without diversifying ideas, ordinary ideas become stagnant and lose their advantages. In the end, the designer loses the ability to innovate. So the designer is always keen to change the way of meditation for everything that surrounds it, which leads to the discovery of new relationships between things, and combined them to form innovative concepts are unfamiliar, which in turn lead to the development of creative thinking skills and not compatible with the latest modern technology. Hence the problem of research, the habit of the local furniture designer to draw inspiration from the forms in a logical manner may lead to the cessation of creativity in a moment. Which ultimately leads to the transformation of furniture from a functional composition of an innovative artistic nature, to a rigid thin g that we use in its daily form and does not carry between it what we call the realization of the mind and hopes aspects of beauty. What are the illogical trends of the formal inspiration provided by modern technology and computer programs? And how does inspiration come from using these nonsensical trends to revolutionize the world of furniture design? The research aims to infer the illogical formal trends resulting from the integration of modern digital techniques with logical formal values. By analyzing some of the contemporary furniture designers' work. To explain the effect of the informal and formal trends on local furniture. The research follows the descriptive analytical method. Modern technology has enhanced innovation in furniture design globally by discovering new relationships between objects, because technological advances in science have created a different vision of things. The flexibility of computer programs has enabled the designer to add, delete and merge quickly and easily, enabling him to create new things. Modern technology has also added illusory formality to the inspiration of global furniture design, such as fragmentation of formation, which is in contrast to the principle of unity in logical formal values. Other dimensions were created as a fourth addition within the composition by giving a hint of fast and slow motion. It also enabled the global designer to exploit the possibilities of the third dimension better than before. The existence of economic, technical, technological and cultural restrictions on many local furniture has led to the codification of the vulnerability of modern digital technologies, causing the absence of important foundations such as balance, harmony and unity in some pieces of local furniture.
Interior design has an important role in handling house spaces, not only by meeting physical needs and indoors activities but also achieving the psychological needs and positive emotions for house occupants. Enhancing positive emotions indoor house is one of the most priorities in contemporary life. Because of nowadays life stresses that around man, it makes him seeks to create quiet and safe environment in his house as a refuge.
The problem of research is there are many life stresses that man adapting difficulty, and he needs to take rest and feel happy inside his house. So, how can interior design enhance positive emotions for decreasing stresses and increasing human -house attachment? How sensory stimuli affect creating positive emotions inside house? Do house occupants emotional case change when interior design elements characteristics -that are considered environmental sensory stimuli - change? Are there special considerations for house design affect individuals’ emotions?
While designing residential spaces, there are different emotion are created, it may help its’ occupants attach with space or repugnance it. Hence, this research aims to determine the methods which can be used to enhancing individuals’ positive emotions by using interior design and Stimulating Senses to configure emotional human -house attachment, through analytical studies.
While practicing the many daily activities, man always seeks the different means of comfort and luxury. Interior design is an effective tool to provide such comfort and luxury as it is used by any designer to create his vision in order to satisfy space users and their needs when practicing their indoors daily activities. The designer uses interior designs to create designs that go beyond just providing comfort and luxury, and to affect space users and their behavior negatively or positively. Furthermore, the continuous technological advancement and all the means of luxury, which vary from elements of the interior design, accessories, furniture, air, lighting, and sound volume, they all affects one's behavior inside any space.
The problem of research is that there are many elements which negatively affect one's behavior within interior spaces such as: the different types of materials, the various means of technology nowadays, and providing different alternatives and means of attracting customers. Thus, the designer has to be aware of the indicators of the design lines and the used shapes, and their affinity with each other and their effect upon the space user and his/her indoors daily activities.
So how do designs and the different means of technology contribute to change one's behavior? What are the followed procedures in creating a specific design which helps to change the user's behavior? How does the mind comprehend the elements of design and its effect upon behavior? What are the techniques of behavior altering?
This research aims at identifying the techniques of behavior altering by using interior design, all while specifying the solutions related to design, which positively affects human behavior. Also, this research aims at identifying how the designer chooses the designing lines, which appeals to the space user, through analytical studies and survey.
Damietta city is considered the furniture industry hub in Egypt as it contains 36% of Egyptian furniture establishments and 38% of highly skilled and relatively cheap furniture labor in addition to low shipping costs to foreign market, especially Europe, given the privileged geographical location of Damietta Seaport which is close to import markets of industry inputs and export markets. All of these privileges add value to the Damietta-manufactured products in foreign markets. However, furniture quality, suitability for intended uses and meeting customers' expectations are the main requirements of these markets.
The furniture industry in Damietta is facing many quality problems; some foreign customers complain about non-compliance with the required specifications and rapid deterioration of the products believing that they were deliberately sold defective products. These quality problems cause damage to the reputation of the Egyptian furniture industry in global markets and subsequently a decline in exports.
Here lies the main problem of this research, which is the lack of a study that identifies obstacles to quality in Damietta-manufactured furniture in order to realize all pillars of the export equation. Is the concept of furniture quality clear for all furniture labor? Is there a failure in training and raising the awareness of the workers about the culture and concept on total quality in the furniture industry? And what are the obstacles to furniture quality in the Governorate of Damietta? Could there be cooperation between the institutions and bodies concerned with the quality of inputs and outputs of the furniture industry in order to ensure full compliance by Egyptian furniture manufacturers with local and international furniture quality standards?
The furniture industry in Damietta is in need of governmental support, directions from control bodies, and greater cooperation between stakeholders in the public and private sectors to overcome current hurdles to growth.
Therefore, this study aims to identify and determine impediments to the realization of furniture quality through all production stages from designing to packaging and shipping in order to identify and address areas of deficiency through surveys, data and field visits to a number of furniture factories and workshops in the Governorate of Damietta.
