Abstract

The present study aimed at assessing the "Designer's Perspective towards Eco-Friendly Materials Available in Interior Designing." The study was carried out in Mumbai and Gorakhpur.100 respondents were selected randomly from each city. The subjects (by purposive sampling technique) chosen as respondents were architects, interior designers, consultants, and contractors of both sexes. Respondent’s opinion regarding awareness of eco-friendly materials and practices was found with the help of a open ended structured questionnaire. Opinions obtained from both cities were compared to each other on percentage basis. On the basis of compression it can be concluded that respondents of Mumbai city were found to be highly aware in compression to respondents of Gorakhpur. When the respondents were classified according to sex in both the cities numbers of males were higher than female counterpart. Hence it was found that the profession of architect is still male dominated.
