    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "In office design, Social sustainability is often disregarded to meet the parameters of other sustainable development components. While comfort is crucial when attaining a socially sustainable design, this thesis puts in crisis the term ‘comfort’, commonly misused to describe the look and feel of a design rather than its qualities concerning health and safety for the user. Diverse factors affecting indoor environmental quality are listed and extensively explained. Furthermore, four office layouts are discussed through the scope of social sustainability examining the occupant’s physical and physiological comfort. The information obtained via these investigations is further utilised to complete a design proposal in which office occupant comfort is promoted and enhanced through suitable design measures and occupant-aware building services. This thesis concludes there is no universal layout suited for all occupants and offices, but the clever combination of suitable design methods fitted to the needs of office occupants and their environment can result in a fruitful office design that promotes productivity and comfort. RESEARCH QUESTION: What elements of interior design affect office occupant’s comfort and how can these be used to promote it?"

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Over the last 50 years, digital fabrication has shaped the world of design and industrial production, reducing the gaps between digital technologies and the process of physical construction. In addition, issues related to climate change and carbon emissions have played a major role in the development of new sustainable materials. Although organic alternatives to plastic are in the process of being explored and developed, their application in interior design is still very limited. The reason for this can partly be attributed to the limited productive possibilities of these materials. In recent years, there has been a focus in the industry on combining such organic alternatives to plastic with digital manufacturing in the hope of achieving high-quality results for industrial applications. This gives rise to the question: is the manufacturing of bioplastic through digital fabrication a key tool in efforts to increase its applications in architecture and interior projects?"
    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "The aim of this research is to explore the properties of bioplastics and to come to an understanding as to whether the manufacturing of this material by means of digital fabrication tools can allow the achievement of higher quality results and therefore lead to its wider application in architecture and interior design projects. This thesis seeks to offer insight into the current situation concerning the unsustainability of traditional plastics and a general overview of the alternative plastics currently available on the market. Two types of plastic in particular will be analysed: starch-based bioplastics, and bioplastics derived from waste. Subsequently, an insight concerning digital fabrication and its main techniques will provide the basis for the experimental part of the thesis, in which will be analyzed the domestic production of bioplastics and its digital processing, specifically with the laser cutter."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Rapid global warming and climate change are two main problems today’s generation is facing. A significant contributor to those developments is the building stock, which represents approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. While only a few existing buildings are modernized each year, almost three-quarters are presently energy inefficient. Renovating the old building stock towards sustainable energy goals would therefore significantly benefit the energy savings. These energy improvements are desirable, but not always possible without compromises, especially when approaching heritage preserved architecture.[2] Implementing energy efficient measures to these precious buildings can create physical implications that may arise as a conservational issue. In some cases, aesthetic alterations require review and approval by the corresponding official authorities, which usually implies long and tedious administrative work. In other cases, missing conservation guidelines and regulations can lead to high damage of this heritage. For this reason, the research aims to find proper aesthetical solutions that fuse both, sustainable energy interventions and architectural heritage conservation. This thesis examines the importance and characteristics of conservation, focusing on residential architecture in Europe. By analysing four essential retrofitting techniques within the context of preservation, this thesis addresses the application of solar panels in historic buildings. It provides insight into installation principles, and the proposed conclusion offers a design solution as part of the integrated case study of a heritage preserved Villa in Potsdam, Germany."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Home is a very personal thing and is directly related to the residential interior that embodies the personality of its user. The aim of the home interior design is to improve the user's work, better managing the space available in the intermediate environment. In principle, it is a way to transform the lives of people who live or use a certain space, improving the quality of their lives through design and decoration. The results of the study in the field of physiological and psychological effects of the interior are useful for studying the influence of residential design. The perception of every person in the surrounding environment, including the residential interior, can be radically different. An important role in the organization of the home interior is played by its spacious layout, lighting, and color scheme. Housing conditions, including lighting and color solutions, create not only a unique atmosphere in the house, but also influence the mood of its owners and guests. The methodological base used for the thesis consists of four case studies, analysing which gives a description of people in their surroundings and to see how does the personality influence designs of their homes. The relation between a residential interior and its user is prejudice and unverifiable therefore cannot be represented only by the number of certain theories and rules."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "The abandoned buildings of Berlin are part of the human cultural heritage that carries the story of the city and this part of human history. The fast-growing city and the influence of modern, global human problems necessitate new ways of dealing with buildings and neglected urban spaces. The Incomplete Story is a study that deals with human cultural heritage as one universal issue. The aim of this study is to provide an example of how to re-use an abandoned building based on human cultural practices that can have a positive impact on cities and the connections between nations. This is achieved through presenting a proposed design for The Eisfabrik as an example. The methods used in the thesis are theoretical research into human cultural heritage and preservation and restoration methods, followed by a case study on three contemporary examples of the re-use of buildings that have had a significant impact on their cities and human cultural heritage. The results show that turning the Eisfabrik into a Live Museum will have an outstanding positive impact on the city and on humanity. As it connects humans and places together. It also shows that studying buildings can be a point of inspiration regarding future usage and create a cultural spot that works complementarily with the city story and the community. The thesis also shows that the Eisfabrik has the potential to be nominated for the World Heritage list. Future research, and further methods to achieve this great step, are recommended in order to rescue the Eisfabrik and create a new landmark and cultural attraction in Berlin."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "The increasing number of refugees coming to Germany has greatly contributed to a changing understanding of home and dwelling within the urban context, especially in the city of Berlin. Due to the growing demand for temporary structures, refugee accommodation is placed as a central topic of interest. The challenge of adequate accommodation is one of the first undertaken from their date of arrival. However, the main problem arises when solutions meant to be a temporary settlement become a permanent home. These unexpected circumstances can lead to the situation of losing one's home, entailing a great psychological impact. This issue emphasizes the importance of a proper handling of the design, supply and deployment of temporary dwelling to prevent both mental and emotional damage. The phenomenon of temporality and permanence as well as the aspects of home have been addressed already by different academics and practitioners. Proposing a design for the refugee accommodation, this thesis examines and explores the psychological and physical aspects of home in temporary structures. First, the meaning of home as defined by Mary Douglas, Reyner Banham and Martin Heidegger will be compared. Then, four case studies from Shigeru Ban, Toyo Ito, Nils Holger Moormann, and Kentaro Yamazaki will be analyzed with the consideration of the earlier literature. After the evaluation and analysis of the information obtained the thesis will finalize with a design proposal."
