This paper presents achievements and results in the projects based on the Platform of BCDlab (Body Conscious Design laboratory) and the Institute of Interior and exhibition design of Faculty of Architecture, related to sustainability. The studies are related to the collection of 11 features of a supportive environment for the contemporary human – “cultural animal”. These postulated have been generated during the last years of the research or relation between the human and its natural and built environment in BCDlab. Each postulate is illustrated with some of its design outputs. The presence or lack of the supportive environment has an impact on the contemporary behaviour, well-being, social and interpersonal interactions and in a long-term interaction also on the personal and environmental integrity, belonging to the community and local culture and especially to the public health. There is also an evidence of interrelation to the sustainability approach, the paper presence studies that are emphasising the importance of the material choice by the spatial design, the role of local growth materials in its authentic and truthful form and surface.
