Item Restricted How Architecture and Lighting Design Influence Our Health and Well-being(2022) Stefano Reis Hagn; Brünjes, Katrin; Huneck, Karsten; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the relationship between architecture, lighting design, and the human circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm, influenced by natural and artificial light, plays a crucial role in regulating human biological processes and overall well-being. The aim of this research is to investigate how architectural and lighting design can optimize lighting methods to support the circadian rhythm of occupants in interior spaces. The methodology includes a literature review, interviews with experts in lighting design, and a survey to assess public awareness and attitudes towards lighting design and its impact on the circadian rhythm. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating circadian design principles into architectural and lighting practices to promote human well-being. Keywords: architecture, lighting design, circadian rhythm, human well-being, natural light, artificial lightItem Restricted Improving the Contemporary Offices With a Biophilic Design Approach(2022) Celina Blattert; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research focuses on the impact of indoor air quality on office environments and explores the potential of biophilic design to improve air quality and enhance the well-being and productivity of office workers. The study examines the pollutants present in office spaces, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of human activities to air pollution. It highlights the importance of good ventilation and identifies plants as a potential solution for improving air quality and creating a healthier work environment. The research draws on existing literature on biophilic design and conducts case studies to provide practical examples of how biophilic elements can be implemented in office spaces. The study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between indoor air quality, biophilic design, and the well-being of office workers. Ultimately, it seeks to provide insights and recommendations for implementing biophilic design principles in office environments to enhance air quality and create more productive and healthy workspaces. Keywords: Indoor air quality, office environments, biophilic design, human well-being, productivityItem Restricted The Potential of Biophilic Design : Why We Should Use Nature in an Interior Design and How it Influences Us(2022) Maya Jolina Lu Wicht; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research focuses on the concept of Biophilic Design and its potential to create healthier and more productive home environments. The study highlights the importance of nature and natural elements in improving mood, well-being, and overall human experience. It explores the definition of "nature" in the context of Biophilic Design and emphasizes the need to incorporate nature-inspired elements in interior design, regardless of the proximity to outdoor green spaces. Biophilic Design is presented as a design style that promotes the connection between nature, the built environment, and human well-being. The research discusses the growing trend of incorporating plants in interior spaces but emphasizes the importance of creating a truly Biophilic environment that goes beyond the mere presence of plants. The study aims to provide insights and recommendations for designing homes that support health and well-being through Biophilic Design principles. Keywords: Biophilic Design, nature, interior design, human well-being, home environments
