Item Restricted Berlins Growth and Architectural Design : Consideration of the Population Growth of the Big Cities and the Challenges and Architectural Possibilities Connected With It, Using Berlin as an Example(2023) Sharon-Mareé Ahrens; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Huneck, Karsten; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In a world marked by a burgeoning population of 8 billion, global societies face a spectrum of opportunities and challenges, intricately linked to population growth. Urbanization, international migration, and birth rates contribute to the spatial distribution of the world's population, with major consequences for urban development. This thesis delves into the context of Berlin, a European major city witnessing rapid population growth, to explore the challenges in urban planning, architectural design, and living conditions. Focusing on immigration as a significant factor (84% of population growth), the research aims to comprehend the relationship between population growth, urban development, and architectural solutions. The goal is to provide recommendations for adapting architectural design to meet the demands of a growing population, ensuring a high quality of life, social integration, and sustainability, with implications for similar European metropolises.

The aim is to highlight the benefits of furniture customization and explore product design implementations that can provide students with opportunities for personalizing their living spaces. The motivation behind this research stems from the increasing demand for small living spaces and the shifting functions of homes due to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology includes a theoretical exploration of the micro living market and the role of customization in the furniture industry, supported by literature review, interviews with housing providers, and survey data from micro and student apartment tenants. The design project component of the thesis incorporates the insights gained from the theoretical research and visual analysis of floorplans and existing furniture. The goal is to develop a customizable furniture solution that enhances the living experience in micro-apartments while maintaining spatial aesthetics and adaptability.
