Item Restricted Enhancing Mental Health of Hotel Guests Through Interior Design : a Study on the Relationship Between Interior Design Strategies and Mild Depression in the Design of a Hotel Room(2023) Christopher Robin Schwarz; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Martín, Javier; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The increasing prevalence of mental illnesses, particularly depression, has prompted a growing interest in holistic approaches to well-being. However, the limited accessibility and complexity of mental health treatment contribute to the underutilization of available resources. Recognizing the importance of addressing mental health concerns, the hospitality industry has shifted its focus towards wellness and well-being, with hotels playing a crucial role in fostering overall health. This thesis explores the impact of architectural design strategies-specifically lighting design, surface finishes, and space planning-on mild depression within the context of a hotel room.

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.
