HAPPY STREET! URBAN PLANNING FARSTA
GROUP PROJECT URBAN PLANNING 3TH YEAR HT2014 PROGRAM: CITY SIZE: ca 13 KM2 SITE: FARSTA, STOCKHOLM
A 140 000 homes are to be built in the area of greater Stockholm. Rather than spreading these areas, the idea has been to gather them in one area in Farsta, a suburb that provides great opportunities and has been idetified as a future hub of greater Stockholm. Is it possible to eliminate the housing shortage by building a more dense city without compromising the qualities that ensure good conditions for people to live and thrive? What kind of city do we get, when we have to live densely, but where minimal risk of dissatisfaction is of highest prioroty? Today, Farsta is a characteristic, so called, ABC-city (A=Work, B=Home, C=centre) with a strong commercial centre, workplaces and residences near by. How could the future Farsta be developed in a new way to handle the housing shortage? Happy Street is an urban planning project where the maximum limit for the city’s density intuitively have been examinated in various media, with emphasis on model. The result, is a vision of the dense city’s opportunities, along with the formation of a number of guidelines, which we call “the puzzle”. These can be used as a basis for creating new districts where the dense city meets human qualities. Welcome to happy street!

URBAN ARCHIPELAGO BATH HOUSE AT RIDDARHOLMEN
STRUCTURE, PLACE, ACTIVITY YEAR 2 HT2013 PROGRAM: PUBLIC BATH SIZE: 2000 M2 SITE: RIDDARHOLMEN, STOCKHOLM
Stockholms new bathhouse is an urban archipelago. A place that connects the water with the city and brings the traditional Scandinavian sauna to the middle of the urban context. Here, visitors bathe in the waters of Lake Mälaren -all year around. In the winters, holes are created in the ice, to give access to the exotic winter bath. On the bridges, people are taking a break and dip their feet in the lake. This becomes the ultimate crash between the city and the archipelago. For the city’s residents and its curious visitors to enjoy.

SITE/RIDDARHOLMEN + CITY = TRUE? Instead of seeing the site on Riddarholmen as an isolated plot, the opportunity to initiate a connection between Riddarholmen and the City is taken.
10
The connection to the city is improved with a new and wider walkway and cycle path. In order to create a more natural flow to the outer parts
of Riddarholmen, new links are created. Existing sightlines and walkways are extended out on the water with the addition of new ones.
In the dark, the saunas glow like the fires they are trying to imitate. The twisted houses are a reminder of the collision between the city and the archipelago, as if the shape itself has been affected and distorted by the collision.
The bridges join places with each other and create the direction for new views. Each sauna has its own window, with its own unique views, undisturbed by the others.

YOUR BLOCK HOUSING PROJECT STOCKHOLM
HOUSING, WORK, CLIMATE YEAR 1 VT2013 PROGRAM: HOUSING SIZE: ca 200 M2 SITE: KUNGSTRÄDGÅRDEN, STOCKHOLM
We live, not only in our homes, in the sense of its four walls. Your Block is a structure for housing, with the idea to explore the posibilities of a smaller space between these walls, if the block provides the features that are missing in the home. Your residence extends beyond the limits of what separates your inside from what is outside. If your neighborhood provides great values, it also consolidates the desire to live in that specific block. A coffee shop might have that chair, where you prefer to sit when you are studying or reading a book. A bar might be your living room, where you invite and meet your friends. Of course, the basic functions to live within the four walls are there, but where the dwelling serves more as a meditative medium, the block will be your social game board. The block is located in Kungsträdgården, the Royal Garden of Stockholm, where it breaks up the strict park. The neighborhood is creating new, smaller parks and corners, where you have greater opportunities to find your own favorite place and make it your own.

CONCEPT In the city, our lives are set in many different places. This fact should be taken into account to a much greater extent in the development of new housing. We do not need a large home in one
16
area and large shopping center in another. By mixing different programs as shops, bars, cafes, parks, creative places and homes, we get a more diverse and varied neighborhood in line with our
tendencies to enjoy different forms of environments. With less asquare meters we can create areas that are more appealing to larger and more diverse groups.
TOOL To explore the different possibilities in the planning of the neighborhood, a tool with magnetic cubes on a site model, was created. The cubes can be added randomly, or by creating rules. The images show a scenario where the moving patterns of people on the site have been added as a layer to create guide lines for the designing of the block.
The structure in the northwest corner of Kungsträdgürden. The design of the block is created by existing walkways observed at the site. New paths and places have also been added to the design. The block breaks the existing and very strict plan of the park, and creates a variety of places, meant to appeal to a more diverse group of people.
17
HOME 001 The first home is a two story house with great natural light from the upper floor to the kitchen and bathroom, located on the lower floor. Here, you also find a smaller dining/workspace, hallway and storage. A staircase leads to the upper floor, where the bed is. The roof window, gazing straight into the sky, creates a meditative atmosphere. This is the only window in the house that can be made completely transparent.
18
HOME 002 The other part of the home is the neighborhood with its small parks, places, shops and cafes here among the cherry trees in Kungsträdgürden.
19
FACADE In one development of the facade, it is constructed in a waterrepellent fabric. The concept works like a backrest to sun bathing park visitors, who can sit down and lean their backs against
20
the soft and pliable facade. Also the roof is constructed of a similar material to create a roof terrace in the form of a large hammock.
The homes give the place something back and thus become useful instead of space thieves.
The frame consists of two frames: One inner and one outer. The inner frame carries the interior walls and slabs while the external frame carries the facade. Various prefabricated inner walls may be secured in the inner frame, depending on the specific program of the module. A home today can be a cafĂŠ tomorrow.
SYSTEM The neighborhood is built around a modular system that can be easily planned and adapted to the specific location where it will be built. Each new block can be built with special attention to the place,
thanks to the great flexibility in planning the structure. The buildings are likely to be placed on a large installation base where water, sewage, heating, electricity and other necessities
are easely drawn to the places where the modules are.

50/50 CULTURAL SCHOOL IN ÄLVSJÖ
BACHELOR’S DEGREE YEAR 3 VT2015 PROGRAM: SIZE: SITE:
CULRURAL SCHOOL CA 1800 M2 ÄLVSJÖ
Everyone needs different rooms to practise activities. Some need to be absolutely certain that they are alone, others need a stage. Some need to physically change their rooms, others to consume those that already exist. 50/50 is an cultural school with premises for Kulturskolan Stockhom in Älvsjö. Here, the rooms for the program is shaped based on the idea of specific needs. The school is both permanent but at the sime time temporary. Half of the rooms in the building are unprogrammed space, half of the rooms permanent. Thereby, some rooms are determined in their ambition of what they want to be, others want to be stretched, tamed, transformed, questioned and made to your own. The idea is that the schools rooms should be in constant dialogue with its users at the moment, at time same time as it provides security and permanence. //Kulturskolan Stockholm is an optional education provided by the state, outside the regular school education. The school is sprung from the previous municipal music school, with the goal of providing an opportunity for young people, regardless of which economic conditions they come from, to develop their skills in different cultural diciplines. Kulturskolan Stockholm is Europe’s largest, with 300 teachers and 16,000 pupils age 6-22 years. The disciplines included are: Music & Singing, Dance & Circus, Theatre & musicals, Arts & Media

CONCEPT Buildings can be daunting. Architecture can be daunting. All people come from different backgrounds and consequently have different needs to feel safe and inspired. In the building, the program is defined as a permanent core, which in turn defines flexible, or indefinite spaces. When you arrive through the entrance you are greeted by every room in the building at the same time. Here, there is no doubt
where the dance studio is located, or the black box, or the workshop, or.. What you see is what you get. Besides what you don’t see, that you also get. The building rests on secrets. Between all that you see, labyrinth like rooms and corners twists and winds. Here, you will find your own places and make them yours. All the permanent rooms are visible from the top of the stairs. This is to create the feeling of being unable to get lost.
However, when you come to know the building’s most prominent personality, you’ll begin to discover other sides. Things that stands out, things that are a little odd, but makes the personality a character. These sides, you’ll have to discover and explore for yourself, enjoy or reject. But hopefully, in the end you have learned that even the most unusual features of a building, may be the ones you appreciate the most.

CHAPEL OF IDENTITIES COMMUNITY CHAPEL IN DERBY
DESIGN 2 YEAR 4 VT2017 PROGRAM: COMMUNITY CHAPEL SIZE: CA 700 M2 SITE: DERBY, UNITED KINGDOM
In a secular world, where we no longer see ourselves as created by a higher power - where do we turn for answers to what makes us human and what gives us our identity? Chapel of Identities revolves around the creation of human identity through the constant dialogue between the individual, the collective and the place in a world where the movement and mix of people is greater than ever before. The building is designed as a participatory architecture that address three aspects of identity: memory, reflection and re-creation. These are all represented by three different spaces: the chamber of memories, the wall of reflection and the square. In the chamber of memories, people can place artifacts and old belongings. This becomes a memorial over the people in the community, or visitors passing by. Each object tells a story about their previous owner and together describe the collective identity of the place. The wall is a place for reflection, where one can leave a mark as another way of expressing feelings and thoughts. The last space is the square, where the building unfold into to the open. This is a social space, based around the idea of conversation and discussion of the experiences of the chapel. This is where the re-creation begins, the formation of the future identity. This ritualising space becomes a meeting point in a neighborhood where an increasing diversity of people meet in a conversation of who we are and what creates our identity as individuals and as a collective.

DERBY CITY CENTRE
The chapel is located in the end of the high street and becomes the focal point. The larger volume is somewhat hidden behind the wall, responding to the layering of buildings and walls that is characteristic for Derby. The volume is also recessed, revealing the
continuation of the city, and thus become another layer of it, in itself. The attitude of exposing the surrounding urban environment invites you to either stay for a visit, or continue on your journey through the urban realm.

MOVING THROUGH THE CHAPEL You enter the chamber of memories through a dark path taking you down, like walking into your subconscious. Here, there room let’s you examine the objects as individual artifacts as well
34
as a collective exhibition. When leaving the room you are confronted with the wall of reflection, almost forcing you to confront your thoughts and feelings. The building then
becomes the open space of the square, where you have time and opportunity to engage in conversations about your experience and maybe leave a mark on the wall.

MATERIALS As a memory of what was before, the chamber of memory is built in a casted concrete brick, with gravel from the demolished buildings of Derby. The floor is also brick gravel, giving the
36
sense of walking outside and into a ruin. The roof in the chamber is wood while the other parts is mainly concrete, with a varied level of roughness, enhancing the different spaces of the building.

WOLLMAR 13 ART GALLERY WOLLMAR YXKULLSGATAN 13
TECTONICS, ORNAMENT, TRANSFORMATION YEAR 2 HT2013 PROGRAM: ART GALLERY SIZE : 100 M2 SITE: WOLLMAR YXKULLSG. 13
In the transformation of the old glass factory on Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 13 in Stockholm, the characteristic facade with its crowned portico is preserved as a shadow behind the new addition. It will be a reminder of the city’s inevitable development and an educational element that describes the historical layers that we are not always able see. The new facade of frosted glass reveals clues about the type of activity that takes place in the room inside and attract entrance, through the play of shadows. From the old port a new concrete port is extended, as a direct link between the sidewalk outside and the large room inside. Here, it is easy to slip into the building’s inner world.

THE RESIDENCE OF A PLACE LANDSCAPING PROJECT GÄRDET
LANDSCAPE, STRUCTURE, MOVEMENT YEAR 1 HT2012 PROGRAM: VIEWPOINT SIZE: ca 100 M2 SITE: GÄRDET, STOCKHOLM
From a distance, the building might be looked upon as a conventional dwelling, almost villa like; a residence for man. The façade, however, reveals that something else lurks within. In the interaction between the interior of the building and the landscape surrounding it, the position of the glassless window openings, seem almost as by chance. However, the placement is about something completely different than chance. Inside the structure, distorted perspectives are pointed in different directions and ends in the window openings. The windows frame the different views, as if they were taken from completely different places. When realising that the different views is actually the same place, the idea is to create new ideas of the opportunities of the site’s differences and qualities. Gärdet is thus gathered in the building, which will be its new home.
42
43
SITE People’s movement patterns in Gärdet indicates movement past the site, rather than a people staying on it. Maybe the immense field is taken for granted?
44
The project calls for a rebirth of the experience of Gärdet. This, to create conditions for new ways of using the site, without physically produce them.
To be able see the place with new eyes, a tool that framed the various views and spaces around Gärdet, was created, as shown above.

RITUALS HOLIDAY CABIN IN Ă…KERSBERGA
MATERIAL, SPACE, DETAIL YEAR 2 VT2014 PROGRAM: SIZE: SITE:
HOLIDAY CABIN 80 M2 Ă…KERSBERGA
People with holiday cabins, often describe theese places with compelling and evocative images. It is, with an almost sacred undertone, that the images of theese houses of nature, is created in the mind. Perhaps it is not necessarily the houses themselves which possesses the compelling forces. Rather, it is the longing for nature and the longing for a simpler life that create the mythical power of these places. In this simpler life, the activities within it, have almost transformed into recurring rituals. Rituals that allows us to be focused on a simple task. Something that let us relax and for a moment, let the practical work take precedence over the intellectual. This holiday cabin is created as an examination of the holiday home as a ritual abode. A place where every activity, every ritual, is given a special status of its own, separated from the other.

ABSTRACT SPACES SPACES FROM THE UNCONVENTIONAL
COMPOSITION, GEOMETRY, SCALE YEAR 1 HT2012 PROGRAM: SIZE: SITE: -
When spaces are looked upon, it is not always easy to derive its form to a specific feeling or thought. The perception of a space might not depend on this, although we often tend to think in these terms. Abstract spaces examinate the starting points for the creation of spaces, where the starting point was the cross-section of a typical breakfast sandwich. The experience of the structure, with its lights and directions, is hereby left to the viewer.

LOOKOUT!
Stability means in the minds of architects: trusses, pillars and supported beams. But. Stability can be and exist without human cleverness and innovation. Like a tail. Indispensable when the scent of the enemy looms and you have to get up to look out. Or when curiosity becomes too strong of what kind of candy the office on the opposite side have and why so many people are gathered there. This is Lookout! A stool inspired by the meercat way of standing, leaning on the tail to protect the flock, in the look out for enemies. We know. Lucky for you that you got this very chair. The fair is saved!
The stool was designed to Arkipelago Fair at KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm 2015 with associated text in collaboration with Ingrid Westermark.

TERRAZZO TABLE Kan använd och kasserad OSB-skiva få en renässans med lite kärlek och färg? Går det att skapa fint av det som anses fult? Precis som terrazzo, omformas material och blandas med varandra för att skapa en ny upplevelse. I bordet har håligheterna i OSB-skivan fyllts igen med olika nyanser av akrylfärg för att sedan slipas ned till en perfekt slät yta. Bordet skruvas ihop för hand med vingmutter och blir en märklig hybrid, fylld av variation och kanske till och med en förnimmelse av lyx? Vad som en gång var fult, redo för tippen, blir plötsligt en god kamrat till kristallkronor, bladguld och marmor.
