Item 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 An interdisciplinary exploration of film and interior architecture : The role of interior architecture in Wes Anderson films(2024) Ashlock, India Marcella; Brünjes, Katrin; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted Beyond Anthropometry : A design framework for canine and feline companions(2024) Sarvaraju, Harshita; Martin, Daniel; Martín, Javier; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: This research explores the concept of caninometry, an approach to interior design catering to the needs of canine users. Traditional interior design largely relies on anthropometry, which is based on human measurements as a guideline to design spaces. This research introduces the idea of designing spaces beyond anthropometry, considering the needs of other species. However, this only considers canine beings who are non-humans to understand the idea of beyond anthropometry better. This research aims to develop a framework for canine users based on their measurements and spatial requirements extracted from an extensive research study from veterinary and design to learn about their dimensions and daily activities. The goal is to stream the thought process for designing spaces that include human and canine users from the design phase. This research looks into the different breed's behavioral and physical traits and translates these inputs into design principles or interior spaces. The design project “Unleashed - A Canine Re-homing Centre” acts as a practical example of developed principles depicting how caninometry enhances the well-being of human and canine users. The research highlights the importance of the diverse needs of all users, including humans and non-humans, in interior design. It emphasizes the need for a more inclusive and well-rounded design that creates room for all the users in the interior spaces.

This process takes place in physical spaces known as design studios that provide appropriate support to students. However, not all design studios effectively support this creative process, as observed in the design studios of the Architecture Department at the Mayor de San Andrés University in La Paz, Bolivia. For this reason, this research aims to transform these Design studios into creative spaces to promote students' creativity during the design process. To achieve this objective, a qualitative methodology is applied, combining theoretical research on creativity, creative processes, design studios, and creative spaces with spatial research through the case study method applied to design studios. This approach enables the contrast of the theoretical findings with the reality of the Talleres/Design Studios of the Architecture Department to establish guidelines for their reconfiguration. From this contrasting process, five categories are identified: distribution and function characterized by space versatility, relationship between inside and outside, incorporation of rest and recreation areas in direct relation with workspaces, versatile furniture and equipment, and work environment adaptable to activities of the design process. These categories are materialized through an interior design proposal for an Experimental Creative Center.

This space identifies humans' position between inside and outside. Nowadays people spend most of their time inside, however, we as humans realize that we have a great desire to keep in touch with the outside environment and nature. We provide ourselves with a space that is neither inside nor outside it has characteristics of both. A space in which you have experienced the beauty and unpredictability of the outside and the calmness and equipment of the inside at the same time. Interior designers call these spaces inside-outside spaces, not only there is plenty of literature about them but also implementing them in design spreads all around the world spaces such as Traces, foyers, balconies, etc. When we Look at the interior with the in-between space perspective, we realize that there are some other spaces besides the main spaces in which we as humans usually spend our time, spaces that usually act like connections. These spaces can be called interior-interior-in- between spaces, although professionals call them in different ways, transitional spaces, liminality spaces, interstitial spaces, etc. Spaces such as corridors, lift lobbies, multiple high spaces, etc. Perhaps as a designer, we have paid attention to these spaces, although these interior liminal spaces have not been seen in an autonomous spatial realm in architecture. A quality of space that can be far beyond simple connections or joints between other spaces it can transform into a center core of a designItem Restricted Potential in the designs of the Memphis Group for designing a movie theatre(2024) Mai, Kristina; Pöğün-Zander, Yüksel; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesPublication Restricted The Art of Photography: A Catalyst for Creative Design Processes(2025) Nera Matilde; Stone Sally; Ebert Carola; Interior Design (MA) (Two-Year); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesPhotography and interior design are often regarded as two distinct discipli- nes, yet multiple times they intersect one with the other in meaningful and productive ways. This thesis explores that specific intersection, focusing on the role of photography as an active tool within the interior design process. While photography is traditionally associated with capturing fixed moments in time, this research highlights its potential to contribute far beyond simple representation. Through an investigation of photographic qualities—such as temporality, image-making, meaning, and visual storytelling—as well as an analysis of practitioners who integrate photography into their workflow, the thesis reveals how photography can support spatial thinking and enrich de- sign development. This multidisciplinary approach provides insights into the application of photography throughout the interior design process, from site analysis and documentation to concept development and visual storytelling. It supports observation, reflection, and the formation of spatial ideas, offering designers valuable tools to engage more deeply with their projects. As interior design continues to evolve as a discipline, the integration of photography presents a rich and underexplored area for both theoretical and practical advancement.Item Restricted The Evolution of the Notion of Luxury in the Interior Design Sector : An Examination of Changes, Chal lenges, Opportunities, and Prospects(2024) Pohlmann, Maarie Helen; Goodwin, Amara; Tubles, John; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesItem Restricted The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Design Thinking in Interior Architecture : Fostering Creativity and Problem-Solving in a New Era(2024) Matar, Yasmeen Adeeb Mahmoud; Martín, Javier; Ugarte, Juan Pablo; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the impact of artificial intelligence on interior architecture, it explores how AI is shaping the design thinking process, increasing creativity and enhancing problem-solving skills. Technologies such as generative design, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, offer interior designers, powerful tools, that not only increases the human creativity, but also the streamline of the design process. These tools enable designers to generate and evaluate multiple design options and enhance factors like performance material efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, AI driven tools facilitate collaboration between humans and AI, making design solutions more efficient and effective opening a wide range of creative possibilities. The use of AI into interior architecture, introduces innovative methodologies and approaches that improve the traditional design workflow. AI systems can analyze large amounts of data and offer design insights that would be difficult to achieve manually. AI designers can focus more on developing concepts, making the design process more intuitive and altered to the user needs. However, the implementation of AI and interior architecture also brings ethical issues, such as data privacy, and algorithmic bias. Addressing these challenges is important to ensure that they are technologies used in a responsible and ethical way. This thesis aims to connect the knowledge gap by analyzing how AI influences interior architecture, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of AI integration. Through comprehensive research as examples. This study shows how AI can be a powerful assistant in creating innovative, efficient, and user centered interior environments.

Through the examination of Urban Interiors, a theoretical framework is provided as a basis for the analysis of pla- zas within the context of interior design. This Understanding of plazas through the lens of urban interiors allows for a clear understanding of their historical and cultural roles as communal spaces. Plazas, as central hubs with deep-rooted historical and social functions, offer im- portant insights for the design of interiors that reflect and celebrate their context. With the understanding of plazas and their importance, the research delves into the concept of culture and genius loci / spirit of place, exploring their meanings and relationships to design. Given the different understandings of culture, highlighting and defining its meanings and relationship to design works as a guide for the design of interiors that reflect and honor cultural heritage. The study explores the example of the Plaza de San Nicolás in Barranquilla, Colombia, where an out-of-touch renovation intended to modernize the space resulted in the loss of its cultural significance and the creation of an artificial “spiritless” place. From these analyses, the study identifies key design strategies for creating authentically rich interiors: Working with the existing, Incorporating local materials, Reflecting cultural symbols, Employing narrative-driven design, creating multifunctional spaces, and allowing space for user appropriation in design. These strategies are demonstrated through the Santa Clara Social Club project, in which a 17th-century convent in Cartagena is transformed into a vibrant commu- nity hub.
