This research focuses on simulating and evaluating the behaviour of walls constructed from a sand-plastic composite material. Using Abaqus Finite Element Analysis software, we investigate the mechanical properties and performance of bricks made from this composite. The methodology involves designing brick shapes and creating finite element models within the Abaqus environment. Various mechanical tests, including pressure and compressive analyses, are simulated to assess the composite material's behaviour under different loading conditions. Findings provide valuable insights into the mechanical response of sand-plastic composite bricks, highlighting their strength, stiffness, and deformation characteristics. By analysing stress distribution and failure modes under diverse loading scenarios, we conclude that this composite material has significant potential for building construction applications. However, this research aims to offer architects an overview of the behaviour of these composite bricks, assisting them in optimizing their designs. Furthermore, research by engineers is necessary to construct using this material.

The pervasive use of plastics, despite their economic benefits in recycling and reuse due to their low cost and abundance, has contributed significantly to global environmental issues, including pollution and global warming. Notably, polymer production continues to rise, paralleling increasing environmental impacts. This paper shifts focus from these broader environmental concerns to explore how topology optimization and advanced 3D printing technologies are transforming interior design. Specifically, it examines the integration of topology optimization a technique traditionally used in engineering to distribute materials efficiently within a design space to enhance both the sustainability and creativity of large-scale 3D printing applications in interior design. By optimizing material usage and minimizing waste, these technologies not only address some environmental concerns associated with plastics but also revolutionize how designers conceive and implement interior spaces. The paper highlights case studies where these integrated technologies have enabled unprecedented levels of creativity and efficiency, redefining the aesthetics and functionality of interior environments.
