“Smart” glass, as a new material with functional and visual advantages, attracts the attention of architects and designers, opening up new opportunities for modern interiors. The growing number of projects and the lack of generalised experience have determined the relevance of the study. The aim of the work was to analyse trends in the implementation of interactive “smart” glass in the interior design of residential and public buildings, to determine its classification and functional and utilitarian capabilities in terms of forming an adaptive spatial environment. The research was based on a set of general scientific theoretical methods of cognition, which included the implementation of such methods as analysis, synthesis, classification, and generalisation. The author’s definition of the concept of “smart” glass in terms of the formation of an adaptive space was provided. Based on the analysis of practical material, “smart” glass was systematised according to its functional and utilitarian capabilities in the formation of an adaptive object-spatial environment. As a result of the work, methods for implementing various types of “smart” glass in the interior design of residential and public spaces were identified. It was found that the most common are touch and projection technologies, which form a visual and communicative environment in public spaces. In residential interiors, “smart” glass performs a predominantly utilitarian function, contributing to energy conservation and privacy. The results also confirmed the aesthetic and functional potential of “smart” glass as an element of adaptive space. Systematisation of material on the implementation of “smart” glass in modern interiors will enable Ukrainian architects and designers to apply theoretical knowledge in design practice to create interactive object-spatial environments. The presented theoretical developments can serve as a basis for predictive design solutions using certain types of “smart” glass

The aim was to investigate a cross-disciplinary model of yacht interior design in the context of the methodological integration of traditional visualisation methods and virtual and augmented reality tools. The study employed an interdisciplinary approach, systems analysis, and comparative methods, which allowed for structuring the integration of traditional visualisation and virtual reality tools, as well as identifying key interrelations between them. The study proved that the integration of traditional visualisation methods with virtual and augmented reality technologies significantly increases the efficiency of the yacht interior design process, improves the accuracy of modelling, and contributes to a better perception of the final result. It was noted that the role of traditional tools is not diminishing, but, on the contrary, is gaining new opportunities when used in conjunction with the latest arsenal of design tools. In addition, it was found that the use of a cross-disciplinary model contributes to a deeper understanding of design solutions, accelerates the processes of coordination and implementation, and expands the possibilities for optimising the functional and aesthetic characteristics of the interior. New approaches to the integration of visual aspects of design have been identified, revealing the potential of using a cross-disciplinary model for a deeper understanding and evaluation of interior design solutions. The prospect of effectively combining various visualisation tools has been outlined, which allows for improving the process of interaction between designers, engineers and customers. The current study has proposed a theoretical basis for further development and implementation of a modern approach to design that takes into account both traditional and innovative means of presenting visual information. The practical significance of the results lies in their application to yacht interior design, educational programs for specialists in marine design, architecture, and visual arts, as well as in the development of innovative approaches to the visualisation of design solutions

The creative component of the design process is fundamental, as it is associated with the search for innovative solutions. In the creative process, the designer’s imagination plays a leading role – it serves as the foundation for shaping and transforming the vision of the functional and aesthetic image of the future object. This study was aimed to identify and systematise the main strategic directions and techniques that stimulate the creative process in generating innovative solutions within modern design practice. The research methodology included the analysis of information sources on design methods; tools for form development in architectural, industrial, and environmental design; structural and systematic analysis; and synthesis of research results. It has been demonstrated that human imagination operates on the basis of previously formed visual images through perception. The strategic approach to reativity development is shaped by visual-operational experience. It has been established that the main method of generating new ideas is creative experimentation. To stimulate the creative process during the ideation stage, it is advisable to apply techniques such as decomposition, alteration of visual modelling tools, combinatorics, the use of simple and flexible tools, references and analogies, brainstorming, and design heuristics. The practical significance of these findings lies in their application to design practice, the education and training of specialists in artistic and creative fields, and further research in art history, cultural studies, architecture, and design.
