Abstract

The recent decades have witnessed tremendous scientific and technological progress in all aspects of life. These changes have had a profound impact on the ecological balance. Despite the emergence of many terms that have adopted the thought of tackling environmental risks and threats, for example, "Eco-design, sustainable design, environmentally friendly materials………. ". However, the increasing rate of consumption and depletion of energy and non-renewable environmental resources is considered as a risk to future generations. So, finding alternative solutions in design that rely heavily on renewable and available resources is urgent to maintain the environment and its limited resources.
The utilization of sources and environmental resources is considered as a concept that substantiated by traditional architecture around the world. This concept was clearly exhibited in Islamic Architecture thoughts and its application in some basic concepts of environmental design, that lead to studying the design principles of those ideas and explore them in designing contemporary interior space.
