dc.description.abstractIn recent decades, the standardization and homogenization of metropolitan areas have become topics of discourse due to their significant impacts on city identity and contributions to gentrification. Situated in Berlin, Germany, a city once-prized for its heterogeneity and vibrancy, the citie‘s identity is now imperiled by the emergence of parallel societies, spatially and ideologically isolated from one another. Concurrently, the demolition of buildings that have played pivotal roles in shaping the city‘s identity adds another layer of complexity to this urban narrative. Building upon the notion that the built environment serves as a reflection of society, and vice versa, this thesis constitutes a process-oriented, metaphysical exploration of neglected non-normative urban components, which are conisdered as „ugly“. This exploration unfolds as a critical examination of contemporary aesthetic norms and their impact on the urban fabric. Furthermore, the affects of these norms on society are analysed through investigations into the psychogeography of the context. In doing so, it endeavors to deconstruct the prevailing norms and beliefs that contribute to the marginalization of societal minorities. The thesis goes beyond mere academic inquiry. By examining the intersection of architectural aesthetics and society, the research endeavors to be a catalyst for change and a call to action. Spatial experimentations, leveraging the inherent spatial potentials of what may be deemed „antinormative“ or ugly aesthetics, result in a performance design intervention, which seeks to challenge and transform entrenched, implicit belief patterns. By embracing and celebrating architectural diversity in form of ugliness, the intention is to introduce a paradigm shift that not only redefines aesthetic appreciation but also cultivates a more inclusive and heterogeneous societal framework, which embraces the unique narratives of all its inhabitants.
