Item Restricted Abandoned, Resistant, Revived. Strategies and challenges in the adaptive reuse of brutalist buildings Interiors(2024) Goyal, Ratik Rajiv; Ebert, Carola; Serdar-Köknar, Burcu; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: This research thesis intends to bring about the discovery of challenges and strategies for the reuse of Brutalist buildings characterized by raw concrete and geometric forms that address contemporary needs and design standards. This thesis is invested in a qualitative literature review representing both early and late brutalism while researching the challenges and strategies of adaptive reuse. The further chapter is complemented by case studies for an in-depth analysis of the facts, findings, and answers to the research question. The comparative analyses of the successful and unsuccessful adaptive reuse projects that unraveled strategies to diffuse the inherent limitations of Brutalist structures will make up the cases. This thesis also presents a design project renewing Berlin's abandoned Bierpinsel Tower, an icon of late Brutalism. Nexustellar, the design project, provides a modern intervention with high-tech design, respecting the historical integrity of the structure by turning it into a vibrant experience space. This thesis contributes to the adaptive reuse discourse by understanding comprehensive strategies that will be necessary to integrate Brutalist buildings successfully into modern needs and changes. The thesis shows that careful and creative design will make sure that these architectural gems conserve and are remade for new functions, so that they maintain relevance in the 21st centuryItem Restricted Amplification of Nature in Interior Design. Seashells as a Biomimic Design Tool(2024) Gram, Laura Alina Tajana; Escobar, Pierre; Köknar, Sait Ali; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Barrier free accessibility and the preservation of historical buildings(2024) Reimann, Elena Maren; Goodwin, Amara; Wilson, Roger; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Biophillic Interior Design Strategies in Cappadocian Hotels(2024) Özçağ, Sena; Goodwin, Amara; Pöğün-Zander, Yüksel; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Cappadocia is a region in Türkiye famous for its volcanic landscape and cave houses. For thousands of years, human settlements have developed in harmony with the nature of the region. However, due to the increasing demand for tourism in the region, cave houses have been converted into hotels, and the unique texture of the region is under threat due to wrong design applications. Biophilic design is a design approach that aims to design places that harmonize with the natural environment by integrating nature and natural processes into the design. The ongoing problem of the Cappadocia region reveals the importance of biophilic design. The research aims to develop a harmonious interior design strategy that integrates with the natural environment, cultural texture, and characteristics of the region, instead of designs made without considering the environment of Cappadocia. In this context, this thesis investigates the potential of biophilic design in creating spaces that are compatible with the natural and cultural texture of Cappadocia and preserving these textures, and its potential application to the interior of a cave hotel. 4 Acknowledgement I would like to express my gratitude to my first advisor Prof. Amara Goodwin and my second examiner Prof. Yüksel Pöğün-Zander, who guided me with their valuable feedback throughout the research process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my family for their unconditional support, love, encouragement and sacrifices. 5Item Restricted Exploring and understanding the Identity and Heritage of Berlin's U-Bahn stations in the context of contemporary revitalization projects(2024) Święcka, Michalina Maria; Goodwin, Amara; Wilson, Roger; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Exploring the Potential of Sustainable Floating Architecture in a Changing Climate(2024) Sawaed, Rena; Aquilar, Giorgia; Staudinger, Lukas; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Integration of interaction design modalities in Medicine education(2024) Mansour, Yasmine Ahmed Fouad Ahmed; Rieß, Henrik; Tervalde, Stef; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted (Recurring) structural weaknesses of profit-centered architecture are critically examined, alongside current building practices, to reveal the hidden potential of habitat concerning both personal happiness and well-being(2024) Wilhelm, Viviana; Fischer, Jeanne-Françoise; Staudinger, Lukas; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Study on a design of modular pavilions to alleviate urban overcrowding and poor living conditions through transformative technologies(2024) Bae, Yeonjin; Pöğün-Zander, Yüksel; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Interior Architecture : Benefits, Limitations and Best Practices(2024) Pipinic, Aleksandra Patricija; Köknar, Sait Ali; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted The mental well-being of children and their relationship to the built environment(2024) Nagy, Dorottya; Ebert, Carola; Serdar-Köknar, Burcu; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied Sciences
