    Content: Kann man Häuser lesen, können Gebäude sprechen? Die Metapher der Architektursprache hatte in der Postmoderne ihre letzte große Konjunktur und erregte damit nicht zufällig auch ein großes literarisches Interesse. Elias Zimmermanns Studie untersucht diese Konstellation von Literatur und postmoderner Architektur anhand von zwei exemplarischen Romanen: Thomas Bernhards Korrektur (1975) und Hermann Burgers Schilten (1976). Die Untersuchung verknüpft diskursanalytische und metaphorologische Fragestellungen mit genauen Lektüren, in denen sich die Texte als Reflexionsmedien problematischer architektonischer Kommunikation erweisen. Zwei komplementäre, scheiternde Architekturkonzepte stehen sich mit den beiden Romanen gegenüber. Im größeren Zusammenhang offenbaren sich Hermann Burgers Maskenästhetik und Thomas Bernhards physiognomische Architektur als zwei Pole im architekturtheoretischen Diskurs der 1960er bis 1980er Jahre. Die Untersuchung endet darum mit einem Ausblick auf die postmoderne österreichische Architekturavantgarde, die Architekturphänomenologie und den architektonischen Dekonstruktivismus.

    Content: AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis examines the analysis of the impact that pet-friendly policies in an organization have on the well-being of its employees. Nowadays, organizations are aware of the importance of creating a positive well-being environment as part of their organizational culture and the burnout and distress that entails the workload. Previous studies have shown the positivity in people's lives created when their level of well-being is high. Furthermore, research has proved that pets could increase well-being despite some constraints. Therefore, some organizations opted to implement pet-friendly policies. For data collection, a survey was chosen as a quantitative method approach, where 65 answers were collected by the thesis' author. The findings clearly stated positive and negative thoughts about having pets in the workplace. In addition, the respondents also provide some reasons. Finally, all the information was analyzed and tested to prove if a positive correlation exists when employees who feel comfortable with pets present positive well-being. Keywords: pet-friendly policies, well-being, organizational culture, burnout, distress, workload, positive well-being, pets, workplace, survey, quantitative method, positive correlation.

    Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Healthcare facility design has undergone significant changes over the years, transitioning from office-like settings to more vibrant and patient-centered spaces. The emergence of "mall hospitals" and amusement park-inspired lobbies in children's hospitals reflects a shift towards normalizing illness and prioritizing patient experiences. This trend aligns with the growing emphasis on healing environments and wellness in healthcare buildings, particularly for pediatric facilities. Designing pediatric hospital wings presents unique challenges, as the interiors must cater to both children and adults. A child-centered approach is crucial to empower young patients and reduce negative responses to the environment, thereby facilitating the healing process. Considering the considerable number of children hospitalized annually in the United States, strategic design solutions play a vital role in alleviating the stress and discomfort associated with hospitalization and expediting the healing journey. This thesis aims to investigate how design strategies can enhance the physical and psychological well-being of hospitalized children aged 6-10. The focus will be on healing environments and child-centered design principles. Specifically, the research will explore the implementation of color, light, and nature connectedness in interior healthcare spaces. A systematic review of secondary sources, including journal articles and design theory literature, will provide insights into effective design strategies for pediatric healthcare settings. Additionally, three case studies of pediatric hospitals and related spaces will undergo a critical qualitative analysis to identify successful design elements and areas for improvement. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of how design strategies can positively impact pediatric in-patient care units and foster a seamless transition between hospital life and the outside world, ultimately promoting the physical and psychological well-being of young patients. The research outcomes will inform a design project for a patient hotel in Berlin. Keywords: Healthcare facility design, pediatric hospitals, healing environments, child-centered design, design strategies, color, light, nature connectedness, patient experience, systematic review, case studies, patient well-being.

    Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis examines the relationships between Glassdoor ratings, employee recommendations, and measures of environmental responsibility and sustainability practices within companies. The study utilizes data from various companies to analyze these connections and provide valuable insights into the complex nature of company performance evaluation. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between Glassdoor ratings and employee recommendations, indicating that higher Glassdoor ratings are associated with a greater likelihood of employees recommending their employer to others. This highlights the significance of fostering a positive work environment that promotes employee satisfaction and advocacy. However, the analysis also reveals that Glassdoor ratings do not significantly correlate with measures of environmental responsibility as assessed by the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) or sustainability practices evaluated by Sustainalytics. This suggests that employee perceptions and satisfaction may not directly reflect or strongly influence a company's environmental efforts. Other factors such as compensation, work-life balance, and opportunities for professional growth might impact employee evaluations. The research underscores the multidimensional nature of evaluating company performance and sustainability practices. While employee satisfaction is essential, decision-makers and stakeholders must consider a comprehensive approach incorporating multiple metrics and perspectives beyond employee feedback alone. This is crucial for accurately evaluating a company's alignment with environmental and social aims. The small sample size, potential biases in the data sources, the correlational character of the analysis, and the omission of other factors affecting employee satisfaction are some of the study's drawbacks. Future research should overcome these constraints to increase our understanding of the intricate connections between employee satisfaction, business success, and sustainable practices.

    Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Healthcare facility design has undergone significant changes over the years, transitioning from office-like settings to more vibrant and patient-centered spaces. The emergence of "mall hospitals" and amusement park-inspired lobbies in children's hospitals reflects a shift towards normalizing illness and prioritizing patient experiences. This trend aligns with the growing emphasis on healing environments and wellness in healthcare buildings, particularly for pediatric facilities. Designing pediatric hospital wings presents unique challenges, as the interiors must cater to both children and adults. A child-centered approach is crucial to empower young patients and reduce negative responses to the environment, thereby facilitating the healing process. Considering the considerable number of children hospitalized annually in the United States, strategic design solutions play a vital role in alleviating the stress and discomfort associated with hospitalization and expediting the healing journey. This thesis aims to investigate how design strategies can enhance the physical and psychological well-being of hospitalized children aged 6-10. The focus will be on healing environments and child-centered design principles. Specifically, the research will explore the implementation of color, light, and nature connectedness in interior healthcare spaces. A systematic review of secondary sources, including journal articles and design theory literature, will provide insights into effective design strategies for pediatric healthcare settings. Additionally, three case studies of pediatric hospitals and related spaces will undergo a critical qualitative analysis to identify successful design elements and areas for improvement. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of how design strategies can positively impact pediatric in-patient care units and foster a seamless transition between hospital life and the outside world, ultimately promoting the physical and psychological well-being of young patients. The research outcomes will inform a design project for a patient hotel in Berlinches Keywords: Healthcare facility design, pediatric hospitals, healing environments, child-centered design, design strategies, color, light, nature connectedness, patient experience, systematic review, case studies, patient well-being.

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: In the fast-paced world we live in, efficiency and commodity have become a primordial aspect of life. New developments and innovations take us towards a world that transforms vital needs like eating, a simple yet sometimes harmful choice—like de- livery, vending machines, and processed foods conserved by outstanding amounts of sodium. Buying food in a supermarket today is very different from what our great grandparents were accustomed to. Food and nutrients have been broken down into additives mixed with powdered milk and vitamin B12. It is not a surprise that 41 mil- lion people die each year from non-com- municable diseases (NCDs) triggered primarily by unhealthy nutrition, tobacco, alcohol, and lack of physical activity (WHO 2021). Due to this, governments are imple- menting front-of-package labeling (FOP, FOPL) systems to aid customers in under- standing which products are healthier and less harmful to decrease NCDs. Gradually countries around the world include them in packaged foods, and recently Uruguay did also. Graphic design is a discipline which consists in communicating a message through visual elements. Packaging design is the discipline that creates a container relevant for the product contained inside. Decree No 272/018 regulates all packaged food sold in the Uruguayan territory by placing a black octagon that states that the determinate product contains excess sugar, fat, saturated fat, or sodium quan- tities. These black octagons are placed on the front face of the package to warn consumers about the harmful amounts of specific ingredients. This thesis focuses on the changes that packaging design and designers have encountered when the Decree was estab- lished. Most importantly, I aim to under- stand the challenges specific packaging design elements have faced now that excess FOP labels are implemented on packaged food in Uruguay.
