Thesis - Interior adaptation within the existing built environment. A comparative study of restoration, preservation and adaptive reuse
![examples of interior design dissertation Profile image of Teresa Zywotkiewicz](https://0.academia-photos.com/26412620/7320483/33177627/s65_teresa.zywotkiewicz.jpg)
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.

Changing and repurposing existing buildings for their continued use was quite common in the past and structurally safe buildings were adapted to meet new functions and needs. In modern conservation theory, Adaptive Reuse is an important means of preserving cultural heritage. The main question is what are the priorities and shortcomings of adaptive reuse theoretical references within interior architecture based on comparative study with Nara Document parameters. The research method of this study is qualitative, with logical argument as a strategy. The priorities were studied and then the most important weaknesses and drawbacks of these approaches to Adaptive Reuse were analyzed in a comparative study with the Nara Grid by 32 semi-structured interviews with experts in the fields of Architecture, Interior architecture and conservation. The results show four main Adaptive Reuse priorities extracted from the reviewed literature: Host Space Function, Programmatic Approach to New Use, Tech...

Existing old buildings were considered as the city’s culture reminder. By the time, they could be kept via adaptation for contemporary usages. That adopting considered the context of the environmental, social and economic idea of the prior eras, related to the building’s life cycle, that guided by local solutions. This paper started with the adaptation process definition with an evaluation of a number of building’s state to bring out the different potential outcomes for discussing the future adaptation possibilities, especially that known as “alterations and extensions”. Therefore, by rethinking of the new addition’s integration into the heritage buildings will support the heritage value and fit new functions to present innovative design process approaches in the field of heritage preservation’s design. By analysing some case studies, the study achieved some criteria for designing the alterations and extensions by making them an effective component in the design of old heritage buil...

The architectural monuments of every society form a part of its cultural heritage and must be preserved for future generations. Today this process involves a range of complex challenges. The conservation of monuments entails not only assessing and evaluating those monuments but also engaging in a wide range of public relations activities. The aim of this course is therefore to help students gain a good working knowledge of architectural fundamentals as well as architectural history and theory. As such, this lecture series is divided into three broad modules: • History and Theory • Methods and Tools • Concepts and Projects During the course students will undertake a great deal of research, developing their own questions and viewpoints and gaining academic insights. They will work their way through academic tasks and apply what they have learnt to investigate a research question of their own choice.
REDUCE, REUSE, RETHINK AND PRESERVE: THE REUSE OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AS A STRATEGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND HERITAGE APPRECIATION (Atena Editora)
Atena Editora
This article seeks to explore adaptive reuse as a form of connection between the preservation of architectural and urban heritage and the sustainability of the built environment. Reuse in architecture can make the use of spaces more effective while preserving memory, as new life is given to buildings that have potential for use. Furthermore, bringing new function to an underutilized or disused historic building means avoiding complete demolition and less need for construction. Historic buildings represent much more than simply a physical construction, but also something that brings identity and character to the city and serves as a witness to the history of the place. Adaptive reuse is considered a preservation strategy; however it is only effective if it brings social fruition to the building. In this study, the category of reuse represents a new way of conceiving architecture in the 21st century. In this context, we discuss the reasons that make the reuse of architecture and urban ambience a viable alternative, in many cases, for the sustainable preservation of heritage and for the best use of a potential built environment. The criteria that make adaptive reuse an effective strategy for both environmental sustainability and heritage preservation are also presented and discussed. To be considered sustainable, adaptive reuse must preserve the historical value of the building and, at the same time, holistically bring social, economic and environmental advantages to it.

Interior architecture is mainly concerned with adapting existing buildings to new uses and requirements. While determining the extent of intervention, the historic and cultural background of the building plays a very important role. Therefore in adaptive reuse, before starting to develop design proposals, buildings of cultural significance need to be analyzed carefully in order to determine architectural and spatial potentials. This paper aims to evaluate the process and results of a design studio, which was realized during 2014-2015 Fall Semester in the ITU Department of Interior Architecture. The main purpose of the studio experience was to create adaptive reuse proposals for a historic commercial building by focusing on the theme of “functional unity”. In the first phase of the study, course program was organized in three basic steps: analyzing spatial potential, determining compatible use and developing project proposals. At the end of every step there was a jury to evaluate each phase. Every step had its own priorities and criteria for the jury. After evaluations project proposals were classified according to their main foci as well as advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in terms of functional unity. As a result it was observed that in historic buildings there are different ways of maintaining functional unity based on the intention of the intervention. While identifying compatible use or uses for a historic building, functional unity needs to be evaluated as one of the basic design criteria in order to retain its cultural significance. This is mainly because a historic building can fully reveal it’s potential only if it is experienced and evaluated as a whole.

In this study, the Museum of Innocence, a personal museum fictionalized in parallel to Orhan Pamuk's novel of the same name, is examined in context of adaptive re-use on the basis of its adaptive reuse fiction directing the transformation of the Brukner Apartment. By reason of the fact that it is built both in architectural and literal fields collaterally, the Museum of Innocence has an unusual transformation story created within the intersection of fact and fiction. On that sense, as promoting an alternative way to reuse a historical house, it sets a unique example to discuss the transformation and evolution of residential environment and its sustainability within the urban context. Through the study, the transformation process of the Brukner Apartment and the dynamics of this transformation are discussed. Focusing on the method of the transformation and the content of the new usage, creation of the adaptive reuse fiction in collaboration of architecture and literature through an interdisciplinary dialog and configuration of the content of the fiction to be based on everyday life practices are highlighted. Analyzing the new spatial situation of the Museum of Innocence, success of the adaptive re-use fiction to ensure the sustainability of urban, cultural and social structure is exposed.

Winsor house has a long standing continuous history for 100 years. It presents a unique setting especially with its architectural styles, its land use components and spatial patterns reflecting the change of their living’s patterns. The characteristics of the house is generally crowed, placed in rows and separated by narrow walkways; some ancient style wooden houses. This report is focused on the cultural significance of Winsor house and proposing a conservational plan of this house and contributing to the general understanding of its value and how to conserve the house for cultural tourism. There is need for a conservational plan to be presented to the community, local government, private and government sectors in order to set a conservational plan. These conservational and developing plans should avoid adverse impacts on the authenticity and physical aspects of cultural heritage. Clearly, there is a need to conserve its cultural heritage attractions. And this affords the opportunity to enhance tourism’s economic contribution to a community and a country. Therefore, these conservational and developing plans can be the tool to create a future in which a stable residential core is enlivened and sustained by a widespread system of retail activities, supported by essential infrastructure and community facilities and made more attractive by well-maintained open spaces and monuments.

20 Thesis topics related to Residential Design
![20 Thesis topics related to Residential Design examples of interior design dissertation](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Design.jpg?w=999)
A residence is one of the first projects any architecture student is asked to design as part of the curriculum , as a residence is one of the first examples of architecture we all see and so many of us are fortunate to live in. Residential projects may seem very easy to comprehend and design, but the various types of residences that are in use today and the different user groups they are targeted towards make it a vast topic, something that requires huge amounts of research to design.
Choosing a residential project as a thesis topic in the final year of B.Arch. would be like coming full circle – applying all the knowledge you have gained in the last five years on the very first project typology you were taught to design.
So, here are 20 thesis topics related to residential typology that any architecture student can take up.
1. Mixed-Use Buildings | Residential Design
With the global pandemic forcing people to stay confined in their houses, the development of mixed-use buildings with residential, commercial and office spaces all in one place will help with similar circumstances in the future. A student would need to do extensive research on how to properly combine all different places and the purposes they serve to create a building that fulfils functionality and is also aesthetically pleasing.
Mixed-use buildings as a thesis topic will help a student when they start working because of its huge potential as a future trend in architecture.
![examples of interior design dissertation Mixed-Use Buildings - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-1.jpg?w=999)
2. Vertical Housing
With the increasing population and declining availability of open land, vertical housing is one of the best solutions available to tackle the requirements of the current and future generations. Vertical housing is residential buildings where architects arrange spaces vertically instead of horizontally, to create more units in a smaller footprint.
These buildings also contain community areas and green spaces interspersed with the residential units to encourage people to be more social and not stay confined in their high-rise apartments .
Using this as a thesis topic will be extremely beneficial as there are high chances of designing similar projects when students start professionally practising after getting their degrees.
![examples of interior design dissertation Vertical Housing - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-4.jpg?w=999)
3. Community living | Residential Design
One of the first markers of human beings settling down and becoming civilized is when they started living in communities with individual houses and common spaces for gathering. Since then, human beings have always preferred to live in a society.
Be it apartment complexes with high-rise buildings , or housing estates with horizontal, community living in urban areas are a topic that can be taken up as a thesis project related to residential use. Community living will help one understand how to design spaces that can be used by different people to live together in harmony.
![examples of interior design dissertation Community living - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-7.jpg?w=999)
4. Row Houses
Row houses are defined as a series of houses connected through common sidewalls. They are a great way to build individual houses in smaller areas and with lesser materials, making them cheaper.
Row houses might already be in use in the USA and European countries , but they have huge potential in third-world countries and in places like India where there is a space crunch issue, making them a good thesis topic under the residential typology.
![examples of interior design dissertation Row Houses - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-10.jpg?w=999)
5. Tiny Houses | Residential Design
These are houses that have a total area of less than 400 ft 2 or 37 m 2 and are a good alternative to traditional houses when the available open land is smaller than average. Tiny houses have a wide variety of design considerations and this leads to innovative spaces that are multifunctional and furniture that is multi-purpose.
Compacting a whole house in an area that is less than 400 ft 2 is a challenge that will help thesis students in designing residential areas in the future, as the availability of free land is reducing every day.
![examples of interior design dissertation Tiny Houses - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-13.jpg?w=999)
6. Shipping Container Homes
20 ft or 40 ft steel containers that have been used to carry different types of goods in ships can be used as a readymade or prefabricated skeleton to build a house. These homes are a good way to re-purpose shipping containers that have been abandoned or thrown away and are easier and faster to build as the exterior structure is already available.
The containers can be stacked vertically or horizontally to create everything from tiny houses to mansions. Shipping container homes are an intriguing and unique residential thesis topic for students.
![examples of interior design dissertation Shipping Container Homes - Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-16.jpg?w=999)
Yurts are portable houses consisting of a latticework of wood or bamboo covered by a round tent and have been the traditional houses for many tribes in central Asia, especially in Mongolia. Yurts are a unique aspect of vernacular architecture that can be adapted in different climates around the world with the use of more modern materials like steel for the latticework and insulating fabrics for the tent.
Yurts as a residential thesis topic will give students a different look in a sustainable and vernacular approach to designing.

8. Earthships | Residential Design
Pioneered by architect Michael Reynolds, Earthships are a type of passive solar earth shelter that is built with both natural and up-cycled materials. These residential units are structures built on the principle that the six human needs of energy, garbage management, sewage treatment, shelter, clean water and food can be met through environmentally sustainable building design.
Earthships are intended to be simple, “off-the-grid” homes with minimal dependence on fossil fuels and public utilities and can be constructed by people with little building knowledge. The scope of Earthships as self-sustainable and ecological single-family residences is huge and something that can be taken up by architecture students for their final year thesis.
![examples of interior design dissertation Earthships -Sheet1](https://i0.wp.com/www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/A4388-20-Thesis-topics-related-to-Residential-Image-22.jpg?w=999)
9. Cob Houses
These are houses built of clay, sand and straw that are recyclable and non-polluting when demolished. Cob houses are inexpensive, energy-efficient houses suitable for hot climates that are also extremely durable and earthquake-resistant.
Even though these types of houses have traditionally been user-built, an architect’s perspective will help in enhancing its ecological and sustainable features and lead to better planning and usability of spaces. Cob houses should be explored as a thesis topic in the residential typology.

10. Cave houses | Residential Design
Caves served as the very first human dwellings – they served as a shelter against natural calamities and wild animals. In recent years, cave dwellings have made a comeback, in the form of carving contemporary houses inside existing caves. These houses contain contemporary elements like doors and windows, modern electrical and bathroom fittings and also connections to public utilities and “off-the-grid” options for the same.
Designing cave houses is a challenge because one has to carve out different rooms in accordance with the inside of the cave and major changes cannot be done to the structure of the cave. Cave houses provide the option to utilize existing natural shelter formations instead of disrupting green areas, and hence are a good residential topic for the thesis as they are becoming more popular.

Literature Review
What is a Literature Review?
It is…. a systematic and critical analysis of the literature on a specific topic. It describes trends, quality, relationships, inconsistencies and gaps in the research; and it details how the works enhance your understanding of the topic at large.
It is NOT…. simply an annotated bibliography that summarizes and/or assesses each article. There is not one, correct way to approach and write a literature review. It can be a stand-alone paper or part of a thesis/dissertation. Format and requirements can vary between disciplines, purpose and intended audience.
A literature review is an overview of existing literature (books, articles, dissertations, conference proceedings, and other sources) in a particular scholarly area. With a lit review, you will:
- Gather information about your topic, including the sources used by others who have previously conducted research
- Find out if your specific research question has already been answered
- Find out what areas or perspectives have not yet been covered by others on your topic
- Analyze and evaluate existing information
The literature review will assist you in considering the validity and scope of your research question so that you can do the necessary revision and fine tuning to it. It provides the foundation to formulate and present strong arguments to justify your chosen research topic.
- How to Write a Literature Review (University of California, Santa Cruz)
Check out these books from the library for further guidance:
- Després, Carole. "The meaning of home: literature review and directions for future research and theoretical development." Journal of architectural and planning research 8, no.2, (Summer 1991): 96-155.
- Steiner, Frederick R. "Philadelphia, the holy experiment: A literature review and analysis." Ekistics , 49, (1982): 298-305.
Reckoning with Authorities
As you are developing your Lit Review, part of your objective is to identify the leading authorities within the field or who address your topic or theme. Some tips for identifying the scholars:
Old Fashioned Method:
- Keep notes on footnotes and names as you read articles, books, blogs, exhibition catalogs, etc. Are there names or works that everyone references? Use the catalog to track these reference down.
- Consider looking for state of the field articles often found either in a discipline's primary journal or in conference proceedings - keynote speakers.
- Look for book reviews.
Publication Metrics:
- These resources include information about the frequency of citations for an article/author.
- These resources are not specifically for Architecture or Planning. Remember therefore to be critical and careful about the assumptions you make with regard to the results!
The Web of Science platform currently also provides temporary access to several databases that are not part of the Core Collection, including Biosis Citation Index, Data Citation Index, and Zoological Record.
Use this link to access Google Scholar, and see our Google Scholar Guide for information on using this resource.
If you encounter a warning about the security certificate when using the FindIt@UT tool in Google Scholar, you can learn more about that using this guide .

Made By Water by Will Huanyo Kuang
"Environmental pollution driven by unregulated carbon emissions contributes to oceanic warming, and urban development without ecosystem sensitivity destroys natural aquatic habitats.
"To this end, a research centre that implements a hatchery programme focused on multiplying threatened and endangered wild population aquatic species is needed.
"Made by Water is an aquatic research centre designed to raise awareness of marine preservation and freshwater ecosystems.
"The intent is to foster the development of healthy and sustainable fisheries throughout the greater New York City metro area waterways and to educate and engage the public in marine wildlife conservation."

NEXTsteps by Dawn Hood
"NEXTsteps is a faith-based support services prototype that connects social service providers and mentors with at-risk adolescent foster youth by leveraging the spatial resources of local partner churches.
"The NEXTsteps centre exists to serve as a spatial network hub that affords small, high-quality service providers and mentors the use of space without the high cost of real estate.
"It provides adolescent foster youth a home base to form critical skills and make life connections that help prepare them for their next steps as independent adults."

Floating Mind by Mini Zhao
"Life in modern societies is often fast-paced and flooded with short, instant messaging. The plethora of email, chat and text communications we receive daily fragments our time and attention.
"Over time, such short messages may abbreviate our attention spans and inhibit our ability to ponder and achieve more cerebral processes.
"Floating Mind is an interior design project that aims to provide people with a slow-paced spatial experience that offers relief from the overwhelming pace of modern society and breaks the cycle of constant, instant-fed communications and digital media messaging."

Govx by Stephanie Schiff
"Only a four minute ferry ride from the fast-paced concrete jungle that is New York City, Governors Island – most recognised as a military base dating back to the 1700s – has been home to many different venues but is not (yet) an expansive performing arts theatre.
"For many millennia, the performing arts have been a vital part of society that gives space for expression and exploration of the human experience. For many performing artists, this exploration is as essential to life as eating and sleeping.
"Govx is an immersive performance space that allows for expressive, creative reflection and release. It is a sanctuary for its performers and patrons alike.
"It aims to foster the healing benefits of colour, sound and movement on the human body."

Resilience by Raymond Xie
"According to the Alzheimer's Association, an estimated 5.7 million Americans age 65 and older live with Alzheimer's and 73 per cent of that demographic are 75 or older.
"Alzheimer's adversely affects many people of many ages, but especially the ageing population.
"Resilience is designed as an innovative, sustainable and inclusive senior care residence that emulates a recognisable home rather than an institution.
"With the foremost goal of enhancing the quality of life through design, Resilience creates a safe, supportive and engaging environment that fosters independence, dignity and a sense of community for residents.
"The design promotes a holistic approach to care that prioritises personalised attention, social interaction and purposeful engagement."

Rip ple by Tina Huang
"Ripple is a sound healing centre designed to encourage relaxation and promote healing through exposure to white noise.
"Through sound bathing, guests will be more likely to improve their mood and release stress and tension in their bodies.
"On average, people in large urban cities experience stress from over sensory stimuli. Cities are often rife with environmental pollutants such as loud noise and bright light that adversely affect human wellbeing.
"Increasingly a place to relax, destress and recover one's mental and physical wellness is needed."

![examples of interior design dissertation Art therapy centre](https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2023/06/School-of-Visual-Arts_dezeen_2364_col_4-852x525.jpg)
Heart of Art by Jayden Perez
"Heart of Art aims to promote healing through the arts and guided art therapy. As a child, Perez noticed the efficacy of visual and literary arts to help stabilise their father through episodes of incarceration, depression, PTSD and anxiety.
"Its influence had a profound impact on Perez and shaped the way they learnt to cope with their own mental health challenges.
"Through this imagined project, Perez proposes a solution to a real crisis of mental health that affects many in New York City.
"New York City is a hotbed of creativity and an epicentre of art and culture that has fostered the careers of many renowned artists.
"Besides fostering career opportunities, art is also known to foster healing through expression. In a city where simultaneously dreams are made and nightmares are lived, Perez is designing for help, healing and self-improvement."

Acceptance by Alicia Ng
"Recent upticks in political extremism and polarised identity politics have exacerbated tensions between neighbours across the country, and it seems Asian Americans find themselves more divided than ever before.
"The ripple effects of fake news and blame culture can have dire consequences on marginalised communities, and what is needed is truth, understanding and acceptance.
"Located in the heart of Lower Manhattan's Chinatown, Acceptance is a place for Asian residents to gather within the bonds of community to practice spiritual health, support local growth and promote feelings of peace and safety within.
"The design emphasises use of natural elements and materials, which are intended to promote a relaxed and calming environment."

Our Table by Camille Lyn-Morilla
"Variety is the spice of life and New York City is ripe for experiencing culinary varietal flavours.
"But too often traditional cultural foods are divorced from the traditional people and practices, which make them appropriated than appreciated.
"Our Table is a multiethnic restaurant and culinary hub that offers space to local and global ethnic chefs and certified culinary artists to share their unique cultural heritage through food.
"Through the use of rentable kitchens, authentic dining experiences – along with cultural education – can be offered to a wide range of people who seek to learn and share."

The Village by Ares Liu
"The Village is a Chinese immigrant community centre in San Diego, USA – it is a place where Chinese immigrants can get help to integrate into American society.
"For people with poor English, it is very difficult to go back to living in the United States even after living there for many years previously, and they don't know how to get help with day to day things.
"This is not only a community centre but also an activity centre where people from all different cultures living in this area are welcome to experience Chinese culture."
