Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Design (Industrie, Grafik, Mode), Note: 1,0, Hochschule fur Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin (Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Wirtschaftskommunikation), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Problemstellung: Die Nutzung des World Wide Web, des grafisch orientierten Bereichs des Internet, hat in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich zugenommen. Bei einer Nutzerschaft von momentan 9,9 Millionen Personen (GfK Online-Monitor 1999, 4. Welle) ist die Tendenz stark steigend. Allerdings steigt nicht nur die Zahl der Nutzer, sondern auch die der Inhaltsanbieter. Nach der Hysterie der ersten Jahre, in denen es Unternehmen vornehmlich darum ging, eine, coole Webseite ins Internet zu stellen oder uberhaupt im Internet prasent zu sein, erkennen sie heute, dass das allein nicht mehr ausreicht. Zunehmend wird erkannt, dass neben nutzwertigen Inhalten die medienadaquate Umsetzung eine wichtige Rolle spielt - schliesslich ist die weltweite Konkurrenz nur einen Mausklick entfernt. Diese Arbeit beschaftigt sich deshalb mit der medienadaquaten Gestaltung von Webseiten. Dabei sollen relevante Erkenntnisse aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen diskutiert werden, um anschliessend eine fundierte Basis fur die Gestaltung von Webseiten zu entwickeln. Eine Bewertung des Inhalts wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit daher nicht vorgenommen, weil davon ausgegangen werden kann, dass selbst bei heute noch einzigartig geltenden Inhalten bereits andere Unternehmen an der Bereitstellung des gleichen Inhalts arbeiten. Uber den Erfolg einer Webseite entscheidet deshalb in Zukunft nicht nur der bereitgestellte Inhalt, sondern immer mehr die Qualitat der Gestaltung.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1996 im Fachbereich Design (Industrie, Grafik, Mode), Note: 1,5, Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste Hamburg (Unbekannt), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Die Arbeit "Das Mountainbike oder 21 Gange im Flachland" untersucht das Designobjekt Mountainbike weniger im Hinblick auf seine spezifische Gestaltung oder technische Funktionalitat an sich, sondern vielmehr hinsichtlich der hieraus resultierenden psychischen Wirkung auf seine Fahrer/innen. Jedem Gegenstand wohnen vielfaltige Qualitaten inne, die sich nicht unbedingt auf seinen rein praktischen Gebrauchswert beziehen. Nicht nur Dinge wie z.B. personliche Erinnerungsstucke jeglicher Art, Sammlerstucke oder Prestigeobjekte leben von ihren nicht-funktionsorientierten Qualitaten, sondern auch primar als praktisch empfundene Gegenstande des taglichen Lebens. Die psychischen Erfahrungen, die so ein Gegenstand seinen Nutzer/innen vermittelt, hangen neben Aspekten wie z.B. den Umstanden, unter denen er erworben wurde, Kaufpreis, Erinnerungswert usw. auch von gestaltbedingten Faktoren wie Materialitat, Stabilitat, Farbe usw. ab und liegen somit auch zum Teil in den Handen von Designer/innen. Um bewusster mit den Moglichkeiten und der Verantwortung, die sich hieraus ergeben, umgehen zu konnen ware es wichtig, mehr uber diese Zusammenhange zu wissen. Da es zum Thema bislang kaum konkrete Untersuchungen gibt, der Rahmen einer theoretischen Diplomarbeit aber eine erschopfende Behandlung selbstverstandlich ausschliesst, stellt diese Arbeit den Versuch dar, exemplarisch anhand eines Designobjekts uberhaupt den Blick fur die psychische Wirkung der Dinge zu scharfen. Das Mountainbike bietet sich als Untersuchungsgegenstand besonders dadurch an, dass es, in der Stadt gefahren, seiner ursprunglichen Bestimmung enthoben und damit seine Funktionalitat in Frage gestellt wird. Bemerkenswert ist der hohe Beliebtheitsgrad, den das Mountainbike trotzdem in der Stadt und sogar im Flachland geni

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2010. Designing the Modern Interior reveals how the design of the inside spaces of our homes and public buildings is shaped by and shapes our modern culture. The modern interior has often been narrowly defined by the minimalist work of elite, reforming architects. But a shared modernising impulse, expressed in interior design, extends at least as far back as the Victorians and reaches to our own time. And this spirit of modernisation manifested itself in interiors, designed both by professionals and by amateurs, which did not necessarily look modern and often even aimed to imitate the past. Designing the Modern Interior presents a new history of the interior from the late 19th to the 21st century. Particular characteristics are consistent across this period: a progressive attitude towards technology; a hyper-consciousness of what it is to live in the present and the future; an overt relationship with the mass media, mass consumption and the marketplace; an emphasis on individualism, interiority and the 'self'; the construction of identities determined by gender, class, race, sexuality and nationhood; and the experiences of urban and suburban life.

Form and Structure in Interior Architecture examines the basic ideas that underpin the design of interior space: From the establishment of a relationship between the existing building and the new components that inhabit it, to the design and positioning of significant elements within the space itself. Through a series of groundbreaking case studies from around the world, this book proposes a method of analysis, understanding and exploitation of the existing building. Studies of contemporary work engage and stimulate, while clear diagrams and explanations allow students to understand and relate to the works in the context of architecture and interiors as a wider field. The second edition includes a new chapter on sustainable interior architecture. This brings the book up to date by covering current thinking about the importance of sustainability in architectural design.

The phenomenon of the Cistercian Order occupies a key place in the history of Western culture as it grew to dominate reformed European monasticism in the high middle ages. The transition from the Romanesque to Gothic styles occurred in the twelfth century when the order was expanding most dramatically. With sharp, clean lines, and minimal decor, its architecture was designed to reflect the simplicity and austerity required for this experiment in monastic life. An important reference work, The Cistercian Arts offers insights into a contemplative order that expanded from its modest origins in the Burgundian heartland to encompass six continents. Under the supervision of Terryl Kinder and Roberto Cassanelli, the theological and spiritual aspects and material culture of the Cistercian world are analyzed in depth by more than thirty international specialists in a forty-chapter overview. Music, libraries, water management, metallurgy, farming, liturgical arts, sacred reading, and many other facets of monastic life are traced from the founding of the order in 1098 to the present day. While the Cistercian Order grew to include approximately 1,700 abbeys for men and women, it did not end with the middle ages, and architecture was not its only manifestation. This exquisitely illustrated volume shows how the many arts created by and for Cistercian abbeys continued well beyond the medieval period.

In this planning guide, the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi documents all her findings on the topics of lighting design, daylight, sustainability and healthy living spaces. It is a challenge to create holistic lighting design in times of advancing mechanization, but it is the right thing to do in terms of achieving sustainability in the use of light and energy.

Richly illustrated basic work for holistic lighting design Insight into the extensive practical experience of the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi Source of inspiration for professional planners, architects and laypeople Available in German and English (Light Nature Architecture, ISBN 9783035624151)

The dimensions of the core elements of office workplaces - desk and chair - together with the necessary circulation areas determine the design of office buildings. Starting with the module of the individual workplace, larger space configurations result from adding these workplaces in a variety of arrangements, resulting in different office layout typologies. In addition to the space required for desk and chair, it is necessary to provide the required distances as well as floor area for cupboards, movement, and circulation routes within the office rooms. Basics Office Design explains the parameters of this common design task in a clear and easy-to-understand way, placing as much emphasis on ergonomics, comfort, and orientation as on the space requirements, functional relationships, and the different types of offices.
