This research speculates on the future of interior spaces by reimagining material detailing as a critical tool for sensory, emotional, and cultural engagement. Grounded in architectural theory and critical design thinking, it explores how materials transcend function and decoration to shape perception and spatial identity. Drawing from the works of Scarpa, Zumthor, and Loschke, and supported by case-based analysis, the study establishes a framework to evaluate detailing through aesthetics, construction, function, and technology. It envisions materiality as an active force: responsive, contextual, and expressive, guiding designers to create interiors that are meaningful, immersive, and enduring.
