Abstract

The study aims to investigate the impact of moss-growing concrete as a new sustainable material in the interior architecture industry. As concerns about environmental degradation and resource depletion mount, the search for innovative and environmentally friendly construction materials becomes paramount. Moss-growing concrete, combining the structural properties of concrete with the ecological benefits of live moss growth, has garnered interest. This study explores its potential impact as a new sustainable material in the interior architecture industry. Concrete's widespread use contributes to environmental issues due to its high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Moss-growing concrete incorporates living moss into the concrete matrix, offering benefits like carbon sequestration, air purification, thermal insulation, and aesthetic appeal. The interior architecture industry, focused on creating functional and visually appealing indoor spaces, can benefit from moss-growing concrete. This material can enhance the indoor environment by improving air quality and contributing to biophilic design principles. The research will explore its technical feasibility, performance characteristics, and perceptions of architects, designers, and end-users.
