dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract The growing interest in adaptive reuse as a sustainable approach to repurposing existing buildings has highlighted the pivotal role of interior design in shaping transformed spaces. Heritage buildings hold immense cultural significance, and adaptive reuse offers an environmentally conscious alternative to demolition. Interior design plays a crucial role in preserving the building's historical narrative, essence, and collective memory. This research focuses on the adaptive reuse of former factories in Berlin, exploring how interior design interventions enhance memory continuity and reconcile functional requirements with cultural heritage preservation. The study employs a comprehensive methodology, including a literature review on interior design, historic structures, memory, and phenomenology of place. It delves into the concept of adaptive reuse and examines the significance of collective memory in repurposed historic structures. The research presents an interior design framework guided by the concept of Genius Loci, emphasizing the relationship between the human body and interior space. Case studies of three adaptive reuse projects in Berlin illustrate how interior design effectively contributes to memory continuity and heritage preservation. By understanding the interplay of interior design, memory, and cultural heritage in adaptive reuse, this research aims to contribute to future efforts in preserving and honoring the unique essence of heritage buildings. Keywords: adaptive reuse, interior design, heritage buildings, collective memory, Genius Loci, repurposed factories, Berlin, memory continuity, cultural heritage preservation, sustainable designen
