Item Restricted Benefits of Biophilic Design : Incorporated in the Interior Office Spaces of Urban Environments(2023) Chiara Margot Sorgato; Anwandter, Juan Almarza; Goodwin, Amara; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract Humans have long aimed to improve their habitat and workplaces to increase their comfort and productivity. These advancements are built on technological progress that enhanced inhabitants' health and well-being but paid little attention to the more subtle form of Biophilic Design. With the increasing urbanization and the rise of poor working environments, the biggest issue is losing connection to green spaces and nature-related features, especially in workplaces. A radical change in the way we contextualize interior office spaces is imperative. Biophilic Design has numerous positive aspects and effects on various levels and thus can provide the answer to this urge; a solution. This research aims to understand and define the benefits of Biophilic Design incorporated in the Interior Office Spaces of Urban Environments. The thesis will be split into two parts, theoretical and practical, by applying the knowledge and studying different cases. This thesis aims to demonstrate how including Biophilic Design in different approaches in urban settings and workplaces can enhance employee well-being, creativity, and capacity. Keywords: habitat, workplaces, comfort, productivity, technological progress, biophilic design, urbanization, green spaces, nature-related features, employee well-being, creativity, capacity, interior office spaces, urban environmentsItem 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 New Forms of Working in the (post) COVID-19 Era a Systematic Literature Review(2023) Ali Tayeh; Hynes, Jennifer; Mantel, Peter; Faculty of Business Administration; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract The purpose of this thesis lies to determine the impact that was left behind on employees in Germany, in which factors such as well-being, has seen to have been influenced by the causes of multiple events. Furthermore, this systematic literature review intents to evaluate the shift in remote and hybrid work models. In total, a combination of the PRISMA framework and a well- thoroughly use of a secondary data analysis was applied and used, which helped understanding the impact left behind on employees at the workplace. Furthermore, the shift and change of the new working environments, has had a detrimental positive as well as negative effects on the well-being of the individuals. Keywords that were applied to conduct the information search were: The new forms of working, remote work, hybrid work, impact of employees after COVID-19 outbreak, well-being, impact of well-being, COVID-19, impact of COVID-19, productivity and job satisfaction at the workplace. Keywords: new forms of working, remote work, hybrid work, employee impact post-COVID-19, well-being, COVID-19 effects, productivity, job satisfaction, PRISMA framework, secondary data analysis
