Item Restricted Textiles as Interior Defining Element in Contemporary Art : How Do Contemporary Artists Use Textiles to Achieve Interiority in Their Works, and What Implications Can Be Translated Into Textile Based Space-defining Elements in Interior Architecture and Design?(2023) Nina Lopac; Brünjes, Katrin; Goodwin, Amara; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The history of fabrics in architecture, as theorized by Gottfried Semper, highlights the intimate connection between dressing the human body and constructing shelters with textiles. Contemporary artists, like Do Ho Suh, further explore this correlation, considering architecture as clothing and vice versa. Despite the historical intertwining of textiles and architecture, recent developments in textile technology have reignited interest in their relevance to contemporary architecture. This thesis focuses on the artistic use of textiles in interior architecture, drawing inspiration from contemporary textile artists. Examining the spatial qualities of textile art, the research aims to promote the reutilization of textiles as space-defining elements in interior architecture. While literature recognizes the connection between textiles and architecture, the thesis aims to fill a gap by exploring the artistic development of textile use in interior architecture and presenting insights for implementation.

With the majority of the population spending 90% of their time indoors, the design of interior spaces that promote comfort and well-being has become more crucial than ever. In-between spaces, which exist in every architectural structure, play a vital role in facilitating movement and transition within buildings. However, despite their significance, these spaces are often overlooked and undervalued. This thesis focuses on exploring the design potential and the impact of in-between spaces in commercial and public buildings, aiming to understand their effect on human beings. The research methodology involves developing a design concept that enhances the qualities of in-between spaces, such as openness, contradiction, and diversity. The study examines transitional spaces, public spaces, and designed in-between spaces, analyzing their functions and perceptions. Secondary research on atmospheres in interior design is conducted to explore the potentials and possibilities of in-between spaces. The concept of phenomenology and its characteristics are integrated to create interactive areas that foster engagement, connection, and the enjoyment of everyday life. Three case studies of different typologies are examined to gain insights into their spatial meaning and conceptual design. By combining spatial design methods and atmospheric analysis, this thesis aims to create in-between spaces that not only facilitate transitions but also positively impact well-being and the spatial perception of the building.
