Content: AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: this thesis explores the theme of the house in the context of italian architecture, examining two distinct periods marked by the italian economic miracle. The first block focuses on 10 typologies of rural houses, considering the socio-economic context leading up to unification. The second block investigates 10 interiors post-world war ii, emphasizing transformations in italy during this period. The research compares architectural and interior design approaches from socially and economically diverse historical periods, aiming to demonstrate how italian architecture shifted towards prioritizing psychological well-being from the mid-twentieth century onwards. The thesis concludes with a design application that experiments with the relationship between space and psyche in a rural context, offering future research opportunities to enhance physical and psychological well-being in domestic spaces through design strategies and objectives. Keywords: italian architecture, house, rural houses, interiors, design approach, psychological well-being, design application, domestic spaces, future research.

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the concept of flexibility and adaptation in school buildings to understand how they adjust to change. The research aims to answer two main questions: how are school buildings subjected to change, and what role does interior design play in their adaptability? The study utilizes a qualitative methodology to examine the historical development of educational structures and collect data on change variables. The concept of flexibility and adaptability is defined and their benefits and implementation in interior spaces are explored. Four flexibility design projects are analyzed to showcase different approaches, and a design project created in relation to the research is also examined. The findings contribute to understanding the importance of flexibility in school buildings and the role of interior design in promoting adaptability. Keywords: School buildings, flexibility, adaptation, interior design, change, educational structures.

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper explores the potential of interior architecture to improve the well-being of occupants in large-scale housing, focusing on the case of Berliner Plattenbau and traditional Persian interior architecture. The paper discusses the evolution of human shelter and the significance of interior design in providing physical and mental comfort. The concept of well-being is introduced and analyzed in relation to interior design principles. The development and characteristics of Berliner Plattenbau are examined, highlighting the challenges and limitations of this architectural type. Traditional Persian interior architecture is then introduced as a human-centered design approach known for promoting well-being. The study investigates the transposable elements of Persian interior architecture to improve the quality of life in Berliner Plattenbau. The methodology involves a literature review of reputable sources in English, Persian, and German, as well as a case study experiment to explore the application of transposable elements in a fashion designer's personal residence. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of how interior architecture can enhance well-being in large-scale housing. Keywords: Interior architecture, well-being, Berliner Plattenbau, traditional Persian architecture, human-centered design.

Content: AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The increasing housing affordability issues, changing demographic preferences, and population growth have led to a demand for new housing alternatives that address spatial constraints and the desire to live in city centers or closer to workplaces. Micro-living has emerged as a potential solution, but the extreme reduction in dwelling size raises concerns about the occupants' wellbeing. This thesis aims to explore interior design strategies that can enhance the living experience in micro apartments and identify factors that significantly impact the occupants' satisfaction. The research questions guiding this thesis are: Which interior design strategies can improve the living experience in micro-living? and What factors have a significant impact on a pleasant living experience? The study is based on qualitative data obtained from existing studies, experiments, and expert opinions. By analyzing these findings, designers can gain a deeper understanding of how occupants perceive and react to different design elements in micro apartments, enabling them to make informed design decisions. The research also investigates the challenges faced in micro apartments and their effects on the physical and mental wellbeing of occupants. Solutions derived from the findings are compiled into design strategies specific to micro-living, aimed at mitigating these challenges. The thesis includes an analysis of four case studies to explore the implementation of design strategies in real-world projects. By examining the factors and design elements identified in the literature review, the study assesses how the strategies outlined in this thesis were employed in each project and their impact on the overall design outcome. Keywords: housing affordability, micro-living, interior design, living experience, wellbeing, design strategies, case studies.
