dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper explores the potential of interior architecture to improve the well-being of occupants in large-scale housing, focusing on the case of Berliner Plattenbau and traditional Persian interior architecture. The paper discusses the evolution of human shelter and the significance of interior design in providing physical and mental comfort. The concept of well-being is introduced and analyzed in relation to interior design principles. The development and characteristics of Berliner Plattenbau are examined, highlighting the challenges and limitations of this architectural type. Traditional Persian interior architecture is then introduced as a human-centered design approach known for promoting well-being. The study investigates the transposable elements of Persian interior architecture to improve the quality of life in Berliner Plattenbau. The methodology involves a literature review of reputable sources in English, Persian, and German, as well as a case study experiment to explore the application of transposable elements in a fashion designer's personal residence. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of how interior architecture can enhance well-being in large-scale housing. Keywords: Interior architecture, well-being, Berliner Plattenbau, traditional Persian architecture, human-centered designen
