Alexander College researcher Dr Stelios Stefanos Drousiotis, Interior Architectural Designer and Lecturer/Researcher in the BDes Interior Design Pathway at Alexander College, Cyprus / Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU), UK, has published a new article exploring the relationship between parametric design and sustainable interior environments.
The article examines how computational design tools are transforming the way designers approach space, form, and environmental performance. It explores how digital technologies such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug, and Honeybee can support more informed decisions regarding daylight, airflow, energy efficiency, and material performance.
The research highlights both the opportunities and challenges of parametric design, arguing that while computational methods provide valuable analytical capabilities, sustainable interiors must go beyond digital optimisation to consider human experience, material responsibility, and ecological impact.
Through a critical examination of contemporary design approaches, the article contributes to discussions on how technology can support more adaptive, responsible, and sustainable interior environments.
