Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In an era of digital encapsulation, the dwindling essence of community interaction and face-to-face socialization is a growing concern. The paradox of hyper-connectivity through digital means leading to real-world social isolation forms the crucible of this examination. This bachelor's thesis delves into the realm of Community Centers as pivotal nexuses of human interaction, scrutinizing their programmatic and spatial organization to decipher the quintessence of design that fosters community engagement, inclusivity, and social well-being. Pivoting around the research question - "Which functions are crucial to a Community Center in order to fulfill local demands?", the inquiry traverses through an extensive review of contemporary Community Center designs, analyzing their spatial narratives, programmatic articulations, and communal inclusivity. Amidst a discernible void in literature documenting the nuanced design and organizational attributes of Community Centers, this thesis ventures to bridge this gap, offering a well-structured insight into the anatomy of Community Center design. Through a comparative evaluation of myriad existing Community Centers, the discourse endeavors to distill design strategies and functional requisites that resonate with local demands and social dynamics. Culminating in a design project, the thesis manifests the gleaned insights into a tangible spatial organization addressing local imperatives and adaptive reuse challenges. This scholarly journey aims not only to contribute a granule of knowledge to the academic field but also to incite further exploration into the realm of community-centric architectural design.

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In the realm of architecture, staircases transcend their utilitarian function of vertical circulation, morphing into symbolic entities that narrate the spatial narrative of a building. This thesis embarks on a journey to rediscover the symbolic essence of staircases amidst the modern era's vertical urban expansion, where the allure of elevators often overshadows the poetic allure of stairs. Drawing inspiration from architectural theorists like Vasari, Alberti, and Vitruvius, who revered staircases as emblematic design elements, this research delves into the multifaceted roles of staircases—as sculptures, monuments, and connectors. The transition from symbolic staircases to mere utility objects in the contemporary materialistic society is analyzed, contrasting the dwindling symbolic prominence of staircases against the backdrop of modern buildings favoring elevators for expediency. Through a meticulous examination from an interior architecture lens, this thesis underscores the imperative of rekindling the symbolic prominence of staircases, advocating for a design ethos that reinstates stairs as the symbolic spine of buildings, thus fostering a richer spatial experience and a deeper connection between the edifice, space, and its inhabitants.

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The current consumer society is based on the linear economy system, where raw materials are extracted, processed into products, used, and then discarded as waste. However, this approach has led to unsustainable resource consumption and a growing demand for new materials. The construction industry, a significant consumer of raw materials, contributes to a considerable amount of waste due to poor planning and design during construction and demolition. As a result, a substantial amount of construction and demolition waste is generated, contributing to environmental contamination and ecological concerns. To address this issue, there is a need to re-imagine waste and perceive it as a valuable resource opportunity. Waste should be seen as unwanted or undesired materials that can be transformed into a sustainable world through circularity. The concept of waste as a human invention is highlighted, and the importance of recycling and reusing materials is emphasized to build a more sustainable future. This shift in perspective towards waste can pave the way for a circular economy model, where resources are utilized efficiently, minimizing waste generation and maximizing their value. Keywords: Linear economy, resource consumption, construction industry, construction and demolition waste, circular economy, sustainability, waste re-imagined, recycling, circularity.

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: As climate change looms as an insidious threat, the pivotal moment beckons to harness local resources and evolve construction paradigms that eschew environmental exploitation and global transportation of materials. The narrative of sustainability, often misused for corporate greenwashing, demands a sincere introspection across professions to foster tangible change. Vernacular architecture emerges as a poignant template, embodying generations of evolved techniques harmonized with local climate and resources, offering a pathway to mitigate global warming impacts. This thesis navigates the confluence of vernacular wisdom and modern architectural uniformity, probing the potential synergy that could redefine sustainable construction. Amidst the ubiquity of concrete, the hallmark of modern construction yet a significant source of greenhouse emissions, the discourse explores the resurgence of sustainable materials like Mycelium and the rekindling of age-old vernacular techniques. The investigation transcends a mere replication of traditional methods, advocating for a nuanced amalgamation of vernacular insights with modern technology to foster accessible and sustainable architectural solutions. By delving into the essence of vernacular architecture as the "building of and by the people" and juxtaposing it against the often detached modern design practices, the thesis seeks to elucidate a middle ground where the past informs the present, propelling a sustainable architectural narrative that is both accessible and environmentally congruent. Keywords: Climate Change, Vernacular Architecture, Modern Architecture, Sustainable Construction, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Local Resources, Mycelium,

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Interior architecture transcends mere aesthetic appeal, embodying a meticulous endeavor to harmonize architectural decisions with spatial utility, thereby fostering a profound engagement between the space and its occupants. Rooted in functional and regional paradigms, architecture invariably intersects with a rich tapestry of cultural influences. The essence of architecture, as posited by Bernard Tschumi, hinges on facilitating human activity, weaving a nexus of spaces, events, and movements devoid of hierarchical segregation. This paradigm underscores the imperative of tailoring spaces to not only fulfill functional requisites but to also resonate with sensory experiences, thereby augmenting user interaction. This thesis propounds the premise that the infusion of local cultural elements can significantly enrich architectural and interior spatial quality. Through a meticulous exploration and analysis of various cultural symbols and their integration within architectural and interior architectural realms, the study endeavors to elucidate the tangible benefits garnered from such cultural incorporations. The objective is to distill the specific facets wherein cultural inputs can be harnessed as pivotal guidelines, potentially culminating in projects that are not only functionally robust but also culturally resonant. Keywords: Interior Architecture, Cultural Influence, Bernard Tschumi, User Interaction, Local Cultural Input, Spatial Quality, Cultural Symbols, Functional Requisites, Sensory Experiences, Architectural Integration
