The Impact Of Interior Design And Psychology On Creating A Suitable Long-Term Living Environment In Space
Space travel has a long and fascinating history, from the early days of the Vostok and Friendship 7 spacecrafts, to the current era of the International Space Station. As humanity looks to the future of space exploration, with plans to send people to Mars and beyond, it is important to understand the effects of long-term off-world living on the human body and mind. This essay will explore the past, present, and future of space travel, and discuss the role that interior design can play in supporting the physical and mental health of astronauts during extended missions in space. From addressing the challenges of microgravity and radiation, to creating living spaces that support social interaction and provide a sense of comfort and familiarity, proper interior design is critical to the success of future space missions.

An Investigation Into The Relevance Of The 1950'S Googie Style For Interior Architecture And Design Today
There has been a decline in colourful and unique architecture and design during recent years. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relevance of the vibrant Googie style of the 1950s in the present time. The study looked into the history of the style, the main characteristics, sustainability issues, critique, and Googie in the present. The research showed that the car-centric culture after World War II was a large contributor to the emergence of the style, due to buildings and signs needing to be visible from the freeway. Financial prosperity and new technologies led to new types of design, which sparked both positive and negative criticism. The style started to lose popularity after the effects of the consumer craze on the environment became clear in the 1970s. In conclusion, some Googie designs should be preserved for future generations, but in general the style does not have a place in the present time. The abundance and consumerism it represents are in opposition with the environmentally conscious mentality of the present.
