Hej! My name is krut, i study architecture at UMA - Umeå school of architecture. I’m currently in my sixth semester, and loving it. I’m 28 years old and before coming to UMA, I studied journalism, art history, photography, sociology and psychology. I find that architecture embraces all of these disciplines, and more, and that makes me want to practice it. However much i like the studies, im very eager for an intership, to learn more and hopefully to contribute on real projects. digital skills: photoshop sketchup revit indesign illustrator powrpoint

Dhor Walla, Dharavi
Dharavi is a huge informal settlement in the heart of Mumbai. It is home to approxomitely a million people. The extreme density creates tightly knit communities that centers around communal spaces. My investigaten looked into typologies and anatomys of these spaces. Their spatial makeup, socio-cultural significance and function - their socio-spatial breath
dhor walla neighbourhood with neighbourhood courtyards
These maidans (squares) are spaces of light within a network of shade. They form a rare exterior within a spatiality that upheaves the dictonomy of inside-outside. Its the only places from where one can glimpse an uninterrupted peice of sky. Without them, dhor walla would be a very different place. Once you’ve stumbled upon one of them, you know you’ve arrived somewhere.

to dance in duende “the edge, the wound, /.../ places where forms fuse in yearning beyond visible expression�. federico garcia lorca
making a dance space
tenor duende - having soul. a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity, at the core of flamenco-dancing. duende, as defined by garcia lorca, is a quality inherent in all art forms, but especially when the human body is somehow involved. since architecture is the greater corups of the body, this project investigates duende and architecture. can duende be conceived spatially? what would be the elements of such a space?
enterance / vertigo hard cuts in the ground.
underground passage / illusion movement through a tunnel in the shape of a twisted parallellogram. creating the illusion that one is turning, when infact walking straight.
tunnel / light inside view.
he finds having tha sensation that the ground has literally given out under his feet. he plunges into the dark depths. (...) once his eyes adjusts he begins to see some details in the near darkness. before him is an enterance to a cave, (...) at the other end of the cave he sees, on a projecting rock, a glowing red crystal. - carl gustaf jung on his expeditions into his own psyche and the collective unconscious
katharsis
when a void occurs, the space between two solids is passive. when it occurs as a subtraction, from a solid, the void is active. penetration of space can be regarded as empty space entering into solid form. penetration is a deep incursion of space into mass. - isamu noguchi

market project: the de-malling of saluhall and the cathedral of the automobile deconstructing a saluhall and using it to activate ume책s most poetic junkspace - the underpass of the oversized churchbridge. the site is located between the commercial and cultural center of ume책 and the educational hub of the newly established arts capmus. by plugging in to this via cultura also bridging this gap in the texture of the city.
within the site there is an interesting meet between the brutalist bridge, the now dissapeared fishingcabins and the grand representional buildings of the 1800s.
the junk poetry of the underpass bridge became the organizing principle of the marketplace. the spatiality converging on a anonymous spot in this neglected and overlooked place.
market project : sketches in process the junkspace of the underpass becomes the organizing principle of the market. activiting the space around, thereby negotiating the junk whilst retaining the poetry.
the freestanding marketstalls allow for direct access for the customers threby resisting the logic of the mall. sightlines angleled columns makes the marketstalls open up towards a single viewpoint under the bridge. the former junk is the one place of clarity.

Second stage; asking questions
First stage; reading Umeå Our first approach to our mapping was to reach out and collect general information through looking at statistics, maps, social research and through acquiring descriptive data defining different aspects of life, use and movement through Umeå and through our given area of the city. We assembled and printed a generous amount of graphs and diagrams showing different aspects of use of the area within and around our designated space. We identified bike and car movement, where these came to stop within our space, restaurants, cafes, nightlife, cultural activity, malls and shopping and finally regional and local transport. From these we were able to sort out information that we thought to be important in our decisionmaking later in the mapping.
Fourth stage; site investigations and step into 3D
As our investigations progressed we identified the need for more specified investigations about peoples ideas of a market place and of why and where this should be located. We formed a questionnaire, printed maps and went out to ask if people would shop at permanent market if one existed, where it should be located and why, and complementarily we also asked about age and where the person lived in the city. We positioned ourselves around in different areas within our space in the city and asked a hundred people. From the information we acquired we made density diagrams that made it quite easy to sort our certain areas within our designated space that weren’t mentioned often or not at all as good locations for a market. We were able to identify how opinions varied according to age and to where people lived in the city, but the most important results were those who showed us peoples opinions of where the marketplace should be located and why. From this we identified four different areas that we named based on reasons why people wanted a market in these areas. The areas were; ‘unused space’, ‘centrally located’, ‘beautiful view’ and ‘expand the central core’. From these four we were able to rule out ‘beautiful view’ since we found it to be the weakest reason to placement and then we conjoined ‘centrally located’ and ‘expand the central core’ into one area ending up with two areas within our space that we continued to work with.
Third stage; scaling up and asking new questions After defining these two areas we compiled a new questionnaire, printed more maps and went out to ask the public of their opinions and habits more specifically within these areas. Our questions came to be; Which building or space do you use the most within this area? What is your ordinary movement pattern through this area? Where would you place a marketplace within this area and why? From the answers we acquired from this second survey we made new density diagrams that clearly showed a quite overwhelming unity in both movement and opinion of where to place a market. Continuing we now decided on one of the areas based on the diagrams and former information.
- What building or place do you use most in this area? - Which is most used rout in this area? - Where in this would you put a foodmarket? - Why?
From having decided on an area of 3x4 blocks we now went to the site to make thorough investigations of the different activities and characters you would find within this area. We mapped the first and second floor of all houses and its activities to identify the character of the site and to let this be a platform for our future decision of a specific site for the market. After making a photo elevation collage we collected all our data and made map diagrams to present and to acquire an overall image of our chosen area. From seeing how the area changes as you move vertically we decided to make a site model to enable us to more realistically and generally see and analyze our area simplifying our later decisionmaking of a specific site for the market. Having made the model our perception of the site immediately changed to the better and we were able to move and take away buildings to see how space changed. Our following discussions came to be directly connected to the earlier investigations we made of peoples ideas of where to have a market and of where people moved in the city. We identified issues that had been brought up during our process concerning the situation in commercial life and flow through the area and envisioned these in our model. We finally came to agree on a site that would create an ultimate canvas for a market and the additional spaces required in the initial program. program.

Fifth stage; wrap up Having decided on a site our following work consisted of collecting, refining and completing our former investigations and producing required material more specifically describing our chosen site such as sections, plans and elevations. To finalize we gathered all our material and compiled it into posters and worked on refining our arguments for the final discussion.

There is a quote by Louis Kahn that sums up the essentials as far as I’m concerned. “A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable”. After three years as a student of architeture, my views on what architecture is and what an architect does has gone through fundamental changes. I notice it primarily when trying to explain my days here at school, to outsiders. They usually become confunded. Then interested. Many believe architects draw houses, and they do. But designing a house turns out to be more complex than one might imagine, at least a well-functioning one. I’ve come to learn that architecture is multidisciplinary. Before coming to architecture, I studied journalism, psychology, art history and sociologi and I’ve noticed I make use of all of these experiences when making a project. Because a good project is, among other things, about thorough research and references, spatialities that engage our senses, about the beauty of material and light and about urban planning, context and communication. My personal interest is about the joy of merging material and void into spatialities that both function and offers impressions to people exposed to them, to bring foth problems and create solutions that not only solves these, but produces added value. I am intersted in the fact that cities has intrinsic logics. Logics that can be understood, developed and challenged. That fact that public spaces are important, unruly and frail. That it is possible to be creative with small means, and that it matters. Being an architect means working creatively with something that matters. That is what I am going to do. When i review the projects I’ve done over these last three years, mainly three themes emerge. An interest for spatialities and moods - light, shadow and materiality. For concepts that challenge the standard program and for the coreography of the citys flows and functions. To investigate these topics have been rewarding, but I find that the real projects I*ve been involved in has been the most exciting and rewarding. I want do do more of that. thanks for your time!
