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 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 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 Translating the Spirit of Colombian Plazas into Interiors : Design Strategies for Authentic and Culturally Rich Spaces(2024) Cano Romero, Gabriel; Goodwin, Amara; Martín, Javier; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: This study explores how the historical and cultural significance of plazas in Latin America can inform design strategies for creating au- thentically rich interiors. 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.
