Saving Environment in Architecture Design through Illusion Method: A Literature Review

Abstract

Architecture deals with solving problems through building design, including environmental issues. This study focuses on and analyses the architectural illusion design to save the environment. Therefore, applying this illusion approach manipulates the area of the environment, which directly affects the user's living. The purpose of architectural illusion in the design is to impact the environment significantly. This study method reviews the relevant literature that provides solution strategies for a design without using illusions. These solutions are then compared using illusions to determine the differences in environmental saving. The result is that designs that apply architectural illusions will benefit the environment and not threaten the environment.
