Item Restricted Interior Design Strategies for Compact Vertical Living Conditions : Examining the Typologies and Spatiality Design Strategies of Compact Vertical Living Constructions and Its Applicability in under-utilised Spaces(2023) Maria-Daria Frusinoiu; Anwandter, Juan Almarza; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract The primary focus of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the typologies and spatial design strategies employed in compact vertical living constructions. 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.

The first chapter is dedicated to the topicality of the subject, explains the area covered and leads to the content of the following work. The second chapter deals with the core of the thesis. First, an overview of materials from biological organisms is given. Then it is explained that from the entire spectrum of biological materials, this thesis focuses on materials and products based on algae and mycelium. These materials and products from algae and mycelium are then presented in subchapters and examined for their usability at the current state of knowledge using a catalogue of criteria. The result of the tables shows that there are sufficient alternatives on the market. The third chapter points to a new era of design and reflects critically on the results discussed. The last chapter deals with the implementation of the theoretical part into the design project. This project should show to what extent the materials and products were included in the design process up to the implementation and influenced the design. Another table gives an overview of the available product range. The examination of the materials mentioned here has shown that they are an interesting alternative to conventional products, especially from the point of view of sustainability. Further research in this area will certainly follow and expand the range of applications. It would be desirable to deal with these materials and use them in the future as Interior architects. The biggest problem is the knowledge gap among those who have influence on the choice of materials. This is mainly due to the lack of published, easily accessible information.
