Item Restricted An Exploration on How to Improve the Relationship Between Gen Z and Nature With the Help of Visual Communication Design(2023) Nomi Kim Köder; Kim, Erin; Rieß, Henrik; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The escalating digitalization and urbanization have distanced the modern populace, particularly Generation Z, from nature, impacting their nature connectedness and, consequently, environmental awareness. Inspired by the visual narrative of "Avatar: The Way of Water," this thesis navigates the complex relationship between humans and nature, focusing on Gen Z residing in urban settings like Berlin, Germany. Through a blend of surveys, secondary research, and an exploration of visual communication fields like Technobiophilia and Biodesign, the research aims to bolster the nature connectedness among Gen Z individuals. By delving into the intricacies of nature connectedness and its pivotal role in fostering a pro-environmental mindset, the thesis endeavors to answer how visual communication design can bridge the growing chasm between urbanized Gen Z individuals and nature, potentially catalyzing a ripple effect of heightened environmental consciousness and action against climate change. Keywords: Generation Z, Nature Connectedness, Urbanization, Digitalization, Visual Communication Design, Environmental Awareness, Technobiophilia, Biodesign, Avatar: The Way of Water, Pro-environmental MindsetItem Restricted Visual Communication Design as a Political Influencing Force : How Has Visual Communication Design Attempted to Create Change Within the Ex-soviet Countries from 1991 to Today?(2023) Irina Madan; Rausch, Ulrike; Rieß, Henrik; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper delves into the transformative potential of Visual Communication Design in political landscapes, particularly in ex-Soviet countries where the democratic process is often skewed. By examining the work of creatives like Alex Buretz from Moldova and Pasha Cas from Kazakhstan, the paper seeks to understand how visual communication can challenge the political status quo, unify society, and instigate change. The research also probes the intricate relationship between design, the designer, and politics, and how collective initiatives can amplify the impact of design as a form of activism. Accompanying the research is a Design Project, an exhibition set in Berlin, which aims to visually represent the paper's core message: that Visual Communication Design is an essential tool for instigating political change.
