| dc.description.abstract | MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : We experience spaces through our senses. The feelings experienced during our journey in interior spaces make us think, how are these feelings created? What architectural practices helped produce these feelings? The answer to those questions is the atmosphere of the space. The atmosphere in interior design is a discipline that many architecture theorists discussed. This study will look into the concept of atmosphere and the discussion of architectural theory through the works of Peter Zumthor, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Gernot Böhme. Furthermore, the research will discuss the atmospheric qualities of contemporary gallery interiors. Since a gallery atmosphere is a big challenge for designers where galleries have special conditions to work with, the study will look at the history and architectural typology of art galleries. Also, it will explore the concept of adaptive reuse of churches and how to convert them into galleries by looking into examples. The thesis will work and analyze three case studies; each of them has its atmosphere characteristic. It will also show how to find and explore the essential elements in constructing atmospheric design to improve the overall aesthetics experience. Finally, after finding the most used architectural practices in building atmosphere, the research will exemplify a design project that uses these methods to convert a church to a gallery space | en |
