    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: "The present thesis revolves around a primary interrogation, namely ‘How is collage used in interior architecture to construct a narrative beyond technical drawings?’ To answer this question, the thesis first offers a definition of collage and montage before taking a look at the emergence of the collagist technique in the European and global art scene. It goes to prove that beyond its technicity, collage is first and foremost a creative framework and a process of the mind. Secondly, it investigates how collate was introduced in architectural practice. This chapter is explored through three case studies, where three projects by Mies van der Rohe, Superstudio and Fala Atelier are analysed. One collage (or a series of collages belonging to the same project) per practice is inspected in order to understand the collagist approach in an architectural context. Here, the essay attempts to determine how collage can be seen as tool of representation that serves the purpose of order. After dissecting the methodology of each piece, it will be possible to grasp the narrative behind each proposal. As such, this chapter combines three analytical framework: contextual analysis, image analysis and spatial analysis. Lastly, the final chapter contains a creative application of the thesis topic in a water tower in Berlin, Germany."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "The growing consumer industries and short-lived product cycles have transformed trade shows into more consumer driven and profit oriented events without consideration of environmental or social consequences. This paper focuses on the waste materials produced by the IFA exhibition, located in Berlin and executed annually by the corporation Messe Berlin. […] As social designing is becoming an uprising topic and can be seen as a countermovement to society’s consumer and social waste behavior this paper addresses that issue and focuses on the usability and qualities of those waste materials in order to up-cycle them creating redesigns for social purposes in public buildings. […] The aim of the thesis is investigating the idea of social design and its outreach thus evaluating how and which waste materials from trade fairs can be used for social purposes instead of being thrown away. Based on those results a design proposal of how interior spaces could be redesigned to not only improve the aesthetic and psychological qualities of a social and public space, the Jobcenter Wedding, by using donation-based up cycled materials from trade fairs but also re-use, up-cycle and exhibit waste materials in the design, is raising awareness for societies waste behavior."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Over the last decades and thanks to the revolution of computing and mobile technology, the number of coworking spaces has dramatically increased, and people are no longer connected to their offices. Co-working spaces represent creative and energy-inducing places where small businesses, freelancers and start-ups can interact, share, build and co-found. Coworking is a service which landlords offer indirectly by offering a space for coworkers to network their other activities through collaborative interactions. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the interior design and spatial organization of several co-working spaces around the world, to understand how to create a space that facilitates the concept of community. This thesis looks at how coworking spaces function as workplaces and communities, and explore the strategies which already have been used in this field to achieve that goal."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Plastic waste and its repercussions on the environment is a widely discussed topic in today’s news. It appears as if the positive characteristics of oil based plastics, physical properties that made them gain popularity in the first place, get outshined by the excessive use, inadequate disposal and unsatisfactory recycling options available today. It is important for politicians, designers, producers and consumers alike to be aware of the plastic crisis and take responsibility in implementing change. A reference for positive sustainable adjustments are the principles of circular economies or cradle to cradle design. These adjustments demand changes in the way products are developed, produced, consumed and reclaimed, and take a long time to be implemented. For consumers, it can be disillusioning to see the effects of plastic waste getting discarded into landfill or littering city streets, and to know at the same time that recycling programs are not the optimal solution for these materials either. However, seeing creative, educational or scientific approaches to the problem can be an inspiration for tackling plastic waste on your personal account. In my research, I am going to break down the basics of plastic materials and the plastic crisis, as well as the concepts of sustainable design and its challenges. Analysing present attempts at tackling this crisis creatively is going to be the foundation for an experimental study on plastic waste, which will aim at finding ways to manipulate the material with simple techniques and household items. The findings from these experiments are going to be applied in designing a product line, whose step-by-step instructions will be shared in a community-driven database and can be reproduced by people of all ages and skill sets."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Today’s focus on healthier lifestyles is leading many people to question the influence of building structures and interior spaces on their wellbeing. Most people spend approximately 90% of their entire life in interior spaces breathing air which may contain toxic chemicals from building materials. […] The following question will be discussed, analyzed and answered in this thesis. How can volatile organic compounds (VOCs) be avoided and a health-promoting residential building be created? A close examination of materials and construction methods that will ensure the lowest total volatile organic compound (TVOC) values and thus support healthy indoor air quality will be performed. Indoor air quality measurements will be done to clarify this issue. Additionally, olfactory and visual material preferences will be evaluated by a survey. The results of the broad literature research, the TVOC measurements and survey results serve as guides for architects, interior designers, planners and builders and should support them in the planning of a low-emission house. To be able to discuss and answer the research question the following additional questions need to be addressed: 1. What effects does the conventional construction of residential buildings have on indoor air quality and what are the health risks? 2. Which opportunities to influence do architects and planners have during the planning process to optimize the health safety and the quality of residential properties? The overall health and well-being of people occupying interior spaces is mainly influenced by five physical quantities: - Room air temperature - Temperature of the room enclosing surfaces (floor, walls & ceiling) - Air circulation - Humidity - Gaseous and dusty contaminants (VOC emissions) Four of the above criteria are well controlled in most of the western world. However, the fifth criterion has again become a problem in the last several decades although removing fossil fuel-based heating systems. The focus on energy savings and the wish to lower pollution levels in the atmosphere led to higher pollution in today‘s buildings. The problem of indoor air pollution is analyzed and described in this work. A possible solution is presented in this context and can be found in chapter 3.4. and the final section."

    Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "This research compiles the existing practices for converting above-ground parking garages into other uses, namely residential, by gathering data on completed projects. An analysis of case studies identifies the architectonic solutions implemented in response to the inherent challenges of parking structures, such as integrating building services, differing requirements in load-bearing capacity, acoustic insulation, ceiling height, and natural daylight throughout the interior, among others. By outlining the practical and aesthetical solutions, these projects can be made more attractive to developers by demonstrating methods for cost-efficient renovation and documenting successful outcomes that generate a substantial return on investment while increasing the value of the respective neighbourhood. The data compiled by this research may inspire future architects and developers to tackle such projects, revitalizing city centres by transforming outdated infrastructure and thus contributing to the decline of automobile travel. Compiling the various methods can also shed light on certain tactics that are more sustainable or cost-effective, enabling better informed decisions and increasing the potential for development beyond the narrow purview of luxury housing."
