Abstract
This project addresses the importance of human-centred architecture with a focus on well-being. It aims to answer the research question of how architectural design strategies in timber buildings contribute to users’ well-being. The project consists of two integrated parts: research and design. The research is conducted through a literature review and case study analysis. The conclusions are translated into a design proposal for the transformation and vertical extension of the industrial complex at Hoogte Kadijk 400, Amsterdam.
