Percepções de sustentabilidade no cotidiano profissional do designer de interiores

Abstract

This dissertation deals with the client-project-professional relationship, established between sustainability issues and interior design actions. We started from the hypothesis that there may be disposability of material due to projects that do not meet, in fact, the interests of customers. It is believed that both, the professional and the client, have latent predefined mental designs and when the time to expose them to each other arrives is when the decisions may tend to succeed or not , to show durability or disposal. To study the question, we used a questionnaire as a methodological tool in order to raise the perceptions of client - project - professional relationship. The objective of this study was to evaluate the understanding of the importance of the duration of the project relating to decisions regarding disposal, recycling and sustainability. It was concluded that the client - project - professional relationship is relevant for making decisions about the sustainability of the environment. A design that meets the customer needs tends to be more durable once it fulfills the prerogatives of functionality, aesthetics and materials. However it is recognized that the market still lacks in products that meet the sustainability issues, therefore reducing the options of choice based on environmental responsibility.
