| dc.description.abstract | A creative interior space takes into consideration the physical surroundings, personal emotions, and cultural context. The combined emotional and cultural effects of interior spaces have not been examined adequately in previous studies. Therefore, this research aims to develop an emotional-cultural design framework (ecdf) for designing interior spaces that can satisfy the emotional needs and retention of cultural characteristics. By integrating the emotional design theory and cultural design model, the study first explored the emotional design levels in current interior spaces using walking interviews with end-users. Secondly, in order to identify the cultural characteristics that embedded in current interior spaces practices in relation to the emotional design levels, this study collected data through semi-structured interviews with interior designers. Thirdly, a focus group discussion was conducted with experts. Thematic analysis was used to analyse collected data from fifteen end-users, five interior designers, and six experts. The findings, derived from fifteen end-users, indicate that three levels of emotional design - visual aesthetic, functional use, and individual life - are evident in the experience of end-users within showrooms featuring the new chinese decorative style (ncds). | |
