Abstract

Nature is a source of inspiration for many architects and interior designers, as they find the principles of aesthetics. By studying how we perceive nature, we gain valuable insights into the brain&s;s remarkable ability to synthesise and analyse visual stimuli. This field of study, known as biomimicry, reveals that complex systems can emerge from surprisingly simple processes. These systems, however, are not random; they exhibit a fascinating interplay between order and inherent variability, bridging the gap between classical scientific principles and the world of quantum mechanics. Interior architects are keen to develop an ideology that secures visual values that call for aesthetic and functional integration in the interior space. Chaos Theory states that regular patterns can arise from disordered and random processes under certain conditions. This chapter explores the extent to which it is possible to benefit from the applications of Chaos Theory to enhance innovation in interior design and to reveal the principle of complexity as an ideology that gives the interior space visual values with data characterised by aesthetic and functional integration, and what it gives to the recipient visual scenes and creative design. It is recommended to create interior spaces that have multiple levels of complexity, the purpose of which is to give pleasure, move the mind, interact between the user and the interior space, and invest in specialised computer programmes to serve the design process because belief in creative ideas is what creators need to carry out their work.
