Inhalt: 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.

Inhalt: 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.

Inhalt: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: In the face of life-limiting diseases affecting children, the conventional trajectory of a lifetime takes an exceptional turn. Approximately 50,000 children, teenagers, and young adults in Germany grapple with incurable, life-limiting diseases, resulting in around 5,000 annual deaths (Lang 2021, 14). Families of these children, devoid of the resources of a professional institution at home, dedicate themselves to care, impacting their personal and social lives negatively (Poulsen et al. 2017, 73). Children's hospices play a crucial role in supporting affected families from the moment of diagnosis, aiming to alleviate emotional stress for the entire family. This research delves into the significance of hospice facilities in providing comfort and growth opportunities for children in their final stage of life. Unlike conventional hospitals, which often exude a cool and sterile atmosphere, hospices strive to create environments that prioritize the well-being of the child. The interior architecture of these spaces should not only facilitate medical care but also provide room for personal growth and play, recognizing the unique needs of children facing life-limiting diseases. Keywords: Life-Limiting Diseases, Children's Hospices, Family Support, Emotional Stress, Interior Architecture, Conventional Hospitals, Comfort, Growth Opportunities.

Inhalt: 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.
