dc.description.abstractAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract This thesis explored the utilization of Spolia as an interior tactic, acknowledging its historical connection with architecture as a method of integrating fragments from pre-existing structures into newly constructed ones. While its motives varied across different times and places, Spolia served to promote historicity, heritage, and symbolism sustainably. Although widely practiced in architecture as a sustainable approach, its prevalence remains limited in interior design. Consequently, this research looked into incorporating Spolia in interior design, aiming to comprehend its effectiveness in promoting heritage, aesthetic value, atmospheric quality, and sustainability by analysing the insights of interior designers, architects, and scholars. Additionally, the thesis examined the design project to draw cohesive conclusions on the pragmatic use of Spolia in interior design. By exploring relevant literature and investigating practical implications, this thesis sheds light on interpreting Spolia as salvaged interior building fragments, facilitating heritage and creation of meaningful and sustainable interior spaces. Keywords: Spolia, interior design, salvaged fragments, reuse, architecture, history, aesthetics, heritage, sustainability, implementation, atmosphereen
