MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE:
"Berlin has managed to build a diverse club landscape that attracts not just its own inhabitants into the underground spaces of the city but people from all over the world. In 2018, the Berlin club commission calculated a total of 3 million ‘club tourists’ that visited the city primarily to experience its popular club culture (Dr. Damm, Steffen, and Drevenstedt, Lukas 2019). Altogether, the city counts 280 present club venues that provide entertainment based on various music genres. With its rather raw interior spaces, the rough techno beats, and the never-ending party nights, the city seems to have shaped its own identity of club culture that is appealing to a broad audience. Famous night clubs such as the Berghain and Tresor have found their homes within former industrial buildings that contribute to the unique Berlin nightlife atmosphere.
Observing this active clubbing culture and the exceptional building structures in which clubs appear to be incorporated raises the question of how these two components, the existing building and the new function of a night club, are put together in architectural practice. Repurposing a building structure not only works with clubs but also became common in architecture due to rising numbers of abandoned buildings. The term adaptive reuse, to describe the process of repurposing a building rather than demolishing it, became formative in the 1960s in the US. When it came to the incorporation of new functions within abandoned buildings, the aim was not only to re-inhabit the existing housing but also to remodel the present structure to the extent that it still respects the heritage of the building.
Nowadays, the majority of diverse adaptive reuse projects have established, and a variety of researchers have been published to communicate how architects deal with specific spaces. Nevertheless, the aspect of night clubs repurposing existing structures has rarely been mentioned. This thesis aims to draw a line between night clubs and adaptive reuse, therefore analysing not only how club design comes into being but especially how it is embedding the context of the building.
Accordingly, this thesis seeks to tackle the following research question: How are night clubs, from an interior architecture point of view, incorporated in existing buildings?"
