DOMESTI(CITY) Location: Tensta, Sweden Year: 2022 Degree Project in Sustainable Urban Planning and Design Category: Master’s Thesis
The definitions of domesticity revolve around the idea of life at home, often regarding a private accommodation. However, a home may also be considered a neighbourhood or city of belonging. In the 21st century, activities associated with the house like eating, reading, and relaxing, are increasingly being performed in the urban context. As a result, modern cities have adapted to provide more domestic spaces for users. Domesti(city) attempts to improve public space by making it more homely. Tensta was chosen as a Million Program area whose public space lacked diversity in the design, scale, and quality of open space. The thesis offers a design-based solution to a systemic issue. It considers the opinions of the most marginalized social groups within the neighbourhood to inform strategies that enhance public space, whether by creating areas that make women feel safe or where the elderly and youths can socialize and strengthen the quality of their social relationships.

The varying colours and pavements differentiate one room from the other. Elements typically found in house e.g. floor lamps, sofas, coffee tables, rugs; serve as inspiration for urban furniture to make public space feel more homely. An example of a reference card” can be seen above.
