Item Restricted Designing for Life : Interior That Nurtures the Way of Aging(2023) Inga-Lena Wagner; Escobar, Pierre; Goodwin, Amara; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Designing for Life: Interior that Nurtures Aging addresses the principles of interior design for an aging population. Understanding their challenges is critical to maintaining quality of life and independence. This research focuses on people aged 60 and older and considers their varying abilities, health conditions, and preferences. Indoor spaces can create inclusive environments by incorporating accessibility, safety, and social interaction. Natural light, green spaces, and adaptable designs promote seniors' health and well-being. Cultural and individual preferences are also respected. It is critical to fully understand the needs of the aging population to create environments that support aging with dignity by examining how factors such as lighting, color, acoustics, and ergonomics influence to creation of supportive and inclusive interior spaces. In this paper, we examine current living spaces and analyze design methods. This includes studies, surveys of older people's preferences, reviews of existing literature, and consideration of future population projections. The findings underscore the importance of active research on housing for older people, community living, and the role of interior design. Research the design principles required to create interior spaces that meet the needs of an aging population. By incorporating research-based knowledge into the design process, interior designers can enhance the quality of their work, improve the user experience, and contribute to advancing the fieldItem 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.

It also serves as a practical guide, offering strategies that can be implemented to meet various needs. The thesis incorporates a diverse range of examples and case studies, which serve as a valuable resource for approaching the design of vertical narrow houses. The study of narrow houses provides valuable insights for interior designers. It emphasizes the importance of space optimization, vertical design solutions, natural light and ventilation, visual continuity and airflow, customization and adaptability, and material and texture selection. By considering these aspects, designers can create functional and visually appealing spaces that maximize the potential of limited areas and enhance the overall living experience for occupants.
