Item Restricted Communal spaces in the German countryside : encouraging social interaction by means of interior architecture(2019) Poppe, Dominik Alexius; Larsen, Sigurd; Martín, Javier; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied Sciences"The aim of the research is to investigate what rural communal spaces in the German countryside are and how they can be designed both conceptually and spatially. Therefore, the following research questions emerged: 1. What are communal spaces in rural Germany? 2. How can the interiors of such spaces be designed both conceptually and spatially in order to encourage social interaction of an existing community? [...] In order to find an answer to the formulated research questions, rural communal spaces as such have to be defined. It will be followed by the investigation of their historical and social development of communal spaces in Germany and their relevance for the village or municipality they are located in. The review of literature will provide profound insight and understanding of these aspects of historical and social significance. As part of the research, the selection of three case studies of existing communal spaces will be presented. They will be introduced and analysed on the parameters of facilities, design and reaction of the public. Findings will be summarised after each chapter that will eventually provide the required knowledge to answer the research questions listed in 2.1."
