Planners, architects, and designers can have a great impact on
living environments and well-being. Well-being is a natural outcome
of natural living, but it is important to realize that a real and
comprehensive understanding of well-being can only be achieved
through the continuity of the concept to all environmental scales
starting from the biosphere and leading towards interiors. Since
interior space is one of the most important determinants of our
everyday experiences, its role in well-being as a conscious
construct needs to be the most important concern of spatial design.
Well-Being Design and Frameworks for Interior Space is a pivotal
reference source that proposes a framework including different
dimensions of well-being and that discusses the importance of each
dimension through the examination of past and present living
environments in an attempt to figure out the appropriate ways of
thinking, living, and building that can lead to healthier
environments and happier people. Factors discussed throughout the
book include the history of the concept of living well, the
evolution of well-being with age, the requirements that affect
well-being, the potentials of certain design approaches for
well-being, the existing environments (such as vernacular
structures, heritage buildings) with specific advantages for
well-being, changes in well-being requirements, interior
environments with different functions (such as schools and home
environments), and the intersections of interior design with other
design disciplines. This book is ideally designed for architects,
interior designers, planners, engineers, administrators,
policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students.

Cities are not only places that house buildings; they are also
spaces where cultural and social relations are built and developed.
These properties must be taken into consideration when constructing
and renovating new housing. Different methodologies can be used in
order to create new flexible solutions for mass housing units'
interior spaces with the aim of improving their adaptability by
using a user-centered approach. Re-Coding Homes Through Flexible
Interiors: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an optimal
resource that investigates how interior design models can transform
existing spaces into more flexible and functional housing units
while also increasing the functional value and spatial quality of
living spaces in social housing. The book specifically discusses
how genetic algorithms, a generative design approach, are used to
solve nonlinear design problems. It also provides results that can
be referenced based on actual domain data, which can be used as
references to other architectural and interior design approaches.
Featuring research on topics such as housing design and mass
housing, this book is ideally designed for architects, engineers,
interior designers, furniture designers, construction companies,
architecture firms, practitioners, academicians, students, and
researchers.
