Item Restricted Japanese Interior Design and Minimalism : How Does Japanese Interior Design Influence the Western Contemporary Interior Design World?(2023) Natalie Kristin Kuck; Brünjes, Katrin; Escobar, Pierre; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The rise of environmental and mental well-being concerns in today's fast-paced society has led to a resurgence of interest in traditional Japanese interior architecture. Known for its minimalist design, attention to detail, and harmonious integration of natural elements, Japanese architectural practices offer a sustainable and balanced approach to living. These age-old design philosophies are increasingly relevant in the context of the modern world's sustainability and well-being challenges. This thesis aims to explore the underlying principles of Japanese interior architecture, its historical evolution, and its contemporary influence. The study delves into how these traditional design elements provide not only aesthetic and functional benefits but also contribute to sustainable living and mental tranquility. The goal is to illuminate how the ancient wisdom embedded in Japanese architectural practices can inform and enrich contemporary interior architecture, potentially offering solutions to pressing global issues.
