Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the process of remembering and reevaluating the architectural legacy of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the context of collective memory. The study aims to understand the influence of spatial design on collective memory and the extent to which GDR architecture and interior design find a place in public discourse. The research investigates the post-reunification development of the collective memory of the GDR, focusing on non-residential buildings that have the potential for collective memory. The historical and stylistic classification of GDR architecture provides a context for analyzing the treatment of GDR architecture after reunification. While interior design has been found to have limited visibility in the discourse, a collection of GDR interior design elements is presented to highlight characteristic features. The current condition of the buildings is assessed, considering the degree of resemblance to the original design. The study acknowledges its limitations in fully exploring the influence of interior design and suggests further avenues of research for a comprehensive understanding of the architectural legacy of the GDR. Keywords: German Democratic Republic, GDR architecture, collective memory, spatial design, interior design, post-reunification, heritage protection.

Content: AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the fundamental aspects of interior architecture regarding the existing built environment. It focuses on the necessity of restoration, preservation, and adaptive reuse as possible solutions when approaching a new project concerning an existing building. Through the study of books, current journals, and relevant projects, a universal understanding is formed about approaches that can be used to react to the existing built environment. Also discussed are the more challenging situations that can arise, such as how to deal with heritage, contentious places, or the concept of memory of place. Examples and case studies are worldwide to appeal to a greater audience. The thesis outlines and defines possibilities for repairing, restoring, and protecting the existing built environment while keeping them practical in the current time. Before concluding the thesis, a design project, done in conjunction with the thesis, is discussed and explores how the different approaches and interventions discussed can be used to react to a site based on the specific site’s history, value, and intangible qualities. Keywords: interior architecture, built environment, restoration, preservation, adaptive reuse, heritage, contentious places, memory of place, design project, interventions

Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper explores the concept of value in existing buildings and proposes re-inhabiting the interior space as a means to re-establish their value. The paper argues that beyond aesthetic and historical significance, the use value of a building plays a crucial role in determining its value. The concept of adaptive reuse is introduced as a tool to re-inhabit existing buildings, thereby re-establishing their value. Three case studies of successful adaptive reuse projects are critically analyzed to understand their impact and design decisions. The paper concludes with an interior architecture project that demonstrates how re-inhabiting can enhance the value of an existing building. The methodology involves a qualitative review of literature from various sources, including books, journal articles, and theses. The findings contribute to the understanding of the value of existing buildings and provide insights into the potential of adaptive reuse in architectural practice. Keywords: Value, existing buildings, re-inhabiting, adaptive reuse, interior architecture.

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : In the following, an outline of mankind's evolution in the form of lighting consideration is presented. Lighting consideration is recognised as an important element in the design of repurposed spaces today, whether it be historical or new. Thus, leading to the research question: "What aspects of light design need to be considered in repurposed spaces in order to meet the contemporary user needs?" The response to the research question threads, light, time, and man. The paper establishes the importance of light in a space and how humans interact with it to fulfill their needs. Of course, design challenges with adaptive reuse and other solutions are considered. Finally, the paper draws upon the existing and prior knowledge to discuss the future of light in repurposed spaces. Essentially, it is an exploration of the dynamic between nature and humans and their environments. A design proposal that offers a carefully considered lighting solution is proposed. Through an exploration of a wide range of studies and findings, it appears evident that repurposed spaces must consider the human needs for light.

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : In post-Soviet Ukraine the value of Soviet Modernism architecture is underestimated. Despite the victory of the Soviet Union in WWII and its competition with Western powers over decades, independent Ukrainains today associate the Soviet architecture with its dark times of the totalitarian regime. The unawareness of the importance is threatening these buildings with extinction. Political and economical situations in the country have shifted the issue of conservation to a secondary concern. Unfortunately even the most prominent individual buildings suffer from the indifference of the authorities and the public. However, the ruins, monuments and abandoned buildings of the Soviet epoch uncover a vast source of architectural expressions and metaphors of the political movements of that time. Architectural identity unwinds the ambitious avant garde constructivism, representational style of Stalinism and the rebelling calls of Brutalism. As a communicative tool, Soviet architecture metaphors have a vast impact on the social and cultural identity of the present Ukrainians and affect the formation of the future generations. Historically rich structures of Soviet times should be reinvigorated with a contemporary approach. The abandoned, neglected and ruined Soviet buildings, should be protected and reused, by bringing back awareness to the public. Several interrelated components of preserving the authenticity and integrity of the architectural and urban Soviet heritage of Ukraine must be taken into account: the physical recovery of objects, the increasing of the value of architectural heritage in the public consciousness and its introduction to modern culture, and the search for effective, legally sound levers to stimulate user interest towards its preservation and support. This research thesis explores the architecture of the Soviet era, the metaphors entwined into the construction and proposes a strategy of Adaptive Reuse with the purpose of revival of the existing Soviet buildings instead of their demolishment and decay. The Adaptive Reuse strategy is a necessary and effective solution to prolong life of Soviet architecture in Ukraine. The expired program of the initial host structure can be replaced with a new relevant program, which as a result will have a positive economical and social impact. Adaptive Reuse interventions, will save and reinforce the "DNA" of the heritage building of post-Soviet Ukraine. The implementation of the contemporary social needs will integrate new identity and metaphors into the historic Soviet buildings. Joining and entwining the metaphors of the past Soviet ideology and the present modern world, will not only preserve cultural heritage but also create unique projects that can benefit the local population, save financial and ecological resources by eliminating the need of demolition and new construction.

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : We experience spaces through our senses. The feelings experienced during our journey in interior spaces make us think, how are these feelings created? What architectural practices helped produce these feelings? The answer to those questions is the atmosphere of the space. The atmosphere in interior design is a discipline that many architecture theorists discussed. This study will look into the concept of atmosphere and the discussion of architectural theory through the works of Peter Zumthor, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Gernot Böhme. Furthermore, the research will discuss the atmospheric qualities of contemporary gallery interiors. Since a gallery atmosphere is a big challenge for designers where galleries have special conditions to work with, the study will look at the history and architectural typology of art galleries. Also, it will explore the concept of adaptive reuse of churches and how to convert them into galleries by looking into examples. The thesis will work and analyze three case studies; each of them has its atmosphere characteristic. It will also show how to find and explore the essential elements in constructing atmospheric design to improve the overall aesthetics experience. Finally, after finding the most used architectural practices in building atmosphere, the research will exemplify a design project that uses these methods to convert a church to a gallery space.
