What is Environmental design?

Environmental design is often confused with ecodesign, also known as green design, but the two are not the same. I myself actually was a bit baffled when entering the course as I wasn't that clear on what this subject was about at first. But then I started to get the idea and by attending lectures i understood that environmental design is a much broader discipline that actually involves taking the surrounding environment into account when planning a design. Successful environmental design is a synergy between a building, landscape, or even a product and its surroundings, to the benefit of both.

A proper definition of Environment design is that Environmental design is the process of addressing surrounding environmental parameters when devising a plan, programs, policies, buildings, or products. Environmental design can also refer to the applied arts and sciences dealing with creating the human-designed environment. These fields include architecture, geography,urban planning,landscape architecture, and interior design.
