By converting ideas and fantasies into two dimensional (2D) images and from there into functional three-dimensional (3D) spaces it becomes possible to dive into fictional worlds that seem to be so much different from what Romance and Fantasy movies don’t give. The result is a dive into galaxies and dimensions that seems surreal, but yet made realistic enough to make viewers believe that one day it could truly become real. By working behind the scenes interior architects make sure to visualize places and sceneries in such reminiscing ways that stick to one’s memory, associated with characters and events in movies. In this study the significance of exploring the effect of Interior Architecture and Set Design will be highlighted through case studies of iconic films like Star Wars, Blade Runner (Fig. 1) and 2001: A Space Odyssey. With a better understanding of this intertwined work of Interior Architecture and Set Design producers can create a better experience for their audience and ultimately help create the most realistic version of the future for the human eye.Item Restricted Circular Economy Strategies for the Regeneration of Existing Factory(2022) Nathalie Katharina Böhm; Brünjes, Katrin; Huneck, Karsten; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The build environment has a significant impact on the climate crisis, consuming large amounts of resources and contributing to energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

This thesis explores how the principles of neuroaesthetics, contemplative psychology and phenomenology can be applied to the design of environments that encourage contemplative states. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the research maps the interaction between internal processes (IN-I) and external stimuli (EX-I). The study reveals how elements such as light and rhythm can influence attention and introspection. Such connections are depicted in a diagrammatic model, which also highlights promising intersections and potential areas for further research. Despite the fact that contemplation is a relatively unexplored topic in neuroscientific design research, this study demonstrates that even subtle design choices have the capacity to shape mental and emotional states. The findings propose design strategies for creating interiors that promote reflection, presence and psychological well-being.Item Restricted Envisioning Permanence : Examining the Integration of Digital Media Technology and the Augmentation of Spatial Elements as a Permanent Design Component in the Field of Interior Architecture(2023) Alice Ingrid Brindemark; Köknar, Sait Ali; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis seeks to explore the integration of digital media technologies into the realm of interior architecture and spatial design, particularly focusing on the concept of spatial augmented reality (SAR).

The prevalence of violence varies across regions, with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) experiencing higher rates compared to Western regions. Condoning violence by women themselves is also prevalent in the MENA region due to religious and social beliefs. Yemen, in particular, has high rates of violence against women, exacerbated by poverty and illiteracy. To address this crisis, shelters for victims of abuse have been established globally, including in MENA countries. However, the number and location of shelters in the region are relatively limited. The aim of this thesis is to explore the socio-spatial needs of women who have experienced domestic violence and investigate how interior architecture and design can contribute to their healing and empowerment. Using a qualitative approach, the thesis will analyze case studies, examine relevant literature, and consider design principles to understand the impact of the built environment on domestic violence victims. The goal is to develop a guiding framework for the design of domestic violence shelters, emphasizing safety, comfort, control, and community effects. By creating restorative environments, these shelters can aid in the recovery and empowerment of female domestic abuse victims.

Approximately 50,000 children, teenagers, and young adults in Germany grapple with incurable, life-limiting diseases, resulting in around 5,000 annual deaths (Lang 2021, 14). Families of these children, devoid of the resources of a professional institution at home, dedicate themselves to care, impacting their personal and social lives negatively (Poulsen and others 2017, 73). Children's hospices play a crucial role in supporting affected families from the moment of diagnosis, aiming to alleviate emotional stress for the entire family. This research delves into the significance of hospice facilities in providing comfort and growth opportunities for children in their final stage of life. Unlike conventional hospitals, which often exude a cool and sterile atmosphere, hospices strive to create environments that prioritize the well-being of the child. The interior architecture of these spaces should not only facilitate medical care but also provide room for personal growth and play, recognizing the unique needs of children facing life-limiting diseases.

Key design considerations include strategic openings, minimalistic use of materials, and flexible furniture to optimize space utilization and accommodate changing needs. The study showcases various examples of mobile spaces that successfully integrate with nature, highlighting the potential for creating transformative experiences and providing a sanctuary for individuals seeking a profound connection with the natural world. Overall, interior architecture plays a significant role in designing mobile spaces that prioritize a connection with nature, enabling individuals to embrace a mobile lifestyle while still enjoying the comforts of their homes in a well-designed and integrated interior. Keywords: mobile homes, nature connection, nomadism, freedom, flexibility, interior architecture, case studies, space utilization, transformative experiences, sanctuary, integrated interiorPublication Restricted Mourning Hall - The role of Interior Architecture in mourning halls for grieving and reflection(2025) Columbus, Karl; Brünjes, Katrin; Interior Architecture/Interior Design (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThis Thesis explores the emotional impact the loss of a loved one has on a human being, how the emotional reaction might vary in a cross-cultural context and how architecture can play a role in supporting these emotions. In today’s multicultural and largely secular societies, traditional religious spaces often no longer meet the needs of those experiencing loss, therefore the thesis concludes in a project that asks how design can provide spaces for remembrance and reflection without relying on religious ritual or symbolism. The research combines literature from biology, psychology, neurological studies and architecture with cultural examples of mourning practices and three case studies: Eternal Hill Columbarium in Taiwan, the Baumschulenweg Crematorium in Berlin, and Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm. These projects highlight how natural light, material choices, and the integration of nature can help to create a calm, supportive environment for grieving. Building on these insights, the thesis presents a design proposal for a secular mourning hall in Berlin, located in the former Rathenau-Hallen. Using biophilic design principles, the project introduces ‘chapels’, gardens, and reflective spaces that encourage personal rituals and quiet togetherness. The work shows that while architecture cannot take away grief, it can offer comfort. Thoughtfully designed spaces can acknowledge loss, make room for different ways of mourning, and create settings where people feel supported in remembering and healing.Item Restricted Mycelium in Ia : the Possible Production Processes of Fungi-bio Composites, Their Respective Resulting Properties, and Potential Applications Within Interior Architecture(2023) Janine Hübner; Escobar, Pierre; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: As the impending climate change crisis unfolds, the world grapples with its far-reaching repercussions.
