ECO-DESIGN. FURNITURE MADE OF RECYCLING MATERIALS - A NEW CONCEPT FOR THE CONTEMPORAN DESIGN

Abstract

The concept of ecodesign appeared in the late XX century, as a trend to return to the organic origins of architecture and design. The ecological house is a modern and economical housing solution that combines recycled, biodegradable and non-polluting materials with new systems and technologies to reduce the costs of heating, air conditioning and lighting. Eco-design is a whole philosophy against the depletion of natural resources and in support of ecological cleanliness and safety. The article tries to convey the message of the ecological problem in the process of training future architects and designers by applying sustainable thinking and design in professional activity, starting from the green stereotype to a practical application through technology.
