dc.description.abstractAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Repurposing and utilizing disused interior elements, materials, surfaces, and textures is critical in contemporary architecture and interior design for creating visually appealing and meaningful spaces. It generates ideas that pave the way for the revival of materials as emotional expressions and reflections of an environment's aesthetic and historical value, as seen in Palimpsest, Spolia, Kintsugi, and Wabi-sabi. Spolia refers to when components from older structures are merged into more recent ones, revealing the historical layers of a current location. The palimpsest concept, representing continuity and change, refers to the visible history embedded within design characteristics. Kintsugi art involves repairing defects to create focus points representing change and imperfectness. Wabi-sabi represents the peaceful and quiet atmosphere it produces by emphasizing the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and natural aging. These concepts combine to improve the current design's beauty, interaction, and historical narrationen
