dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The design of interior spaces in the third millennium is undergoing significant changes, emphasizing the need for new design tools to express the unique spatial qualities, meanings, and poetics of interior spaces. With the majority of the population spending 90% of their time indoors, the design of interior spaces that promote comfort and well-being has become more crucial than ever. In-between spaces, which exist in every architectural structure, play a vital role in facilitating movement and transition within buildings. However, despite their significance, these spaces are often overlooked and undervalued. This thesis focuses on exploring the design potential and the impact of in-between spaces in commercial and public buildings, aiming to understand their effect on human beings. The research methodology involves developing a design concept that enhances the qualities of in-between spaces, such as openness, contradiction, and diversity. The study examines transitional spaces, public spaces, and designed in-between spaces, analyzing their functions and perceptions. Secondary research on atmospheres in interior design is conducted to explore the potentials and possibilities of in-between spaces. The concept of phenomenology and its characteristics are integrated to create interactive areas that foster engagement, connection, and the enjoyment of everyday life. Three case studies of different typologies are examined to gain insights into their spatial meaning and conceptual design. By combining spatial design methods and atmospheric analysis, this thesis aims to create in-between spaces that not only facilitate transitions but also positively impact well-being and the spatial perception of the building. Keywords: interior spaces, in-between spaces, spatial qualities, design tools, well-being, commercial buildings, public buildings, transitional spaces, phenomenology, atmospheres, spatial designen
