AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Despite its historical significance, the educational hallway is often overlooked and utilized solely for passage. This thesis recognizes the untapped potential of primary school hallways as active learning spaces, aiming to enhance student engagement and creativity. Focusing on sustainable design solutions to combat space scarcity, the study explores the material and immaterial aspects of space perception. By transforming hallways into interactive environments with features like murals, educational displays, and exhibits, educators can positively influence student well-being and academic performance. The research investigates current hallway usage in primary schools in Berlin, Germany, identifying both used and unused potentials. It aims to optimize available spaces, considering materiality, building restrictions, and historical influences, ultimately providing insights for enhancing the overall learning experience.
