Contaminated and degraded soil in large urban areas is a continuing and growing problem. Below bricks, concrete, asphalt, and all kinds of human constructions, soil has been covered and forgotten. As a consequence, urban human inhabitants have lost basic knowledge and connection with the environment, contributing to the negative impacts of our climate crisis. Water… Continue reading Andrea García Portolés

In my degree project, I have explored NASA’s mission to build a station on the moon by 2027. Everything that we don’t bring with us from earth will be locally produced with the materials found on the moon. Regolith is a fine powder that covers the surface of the moon and can be hardened and… Continue reading André Miller

Is data material? Is it feasible to recycle information and bring it into the physical world? How do a thousand dental surgeries look when they take shape and become part of an object? Big data is the oil of the twenty-first century; we have an abundance of it. There are several possible implications of data… Continue reading Alexander Pennerup Nilsson

I have analyzed the contemporary residential architecture and tried to identify recurring patterns and norms using different methods. I want to investigate how architecture has been shaped by different ideals, standard measurements, rules and financial constraints. The aim is to point out how the production is normative and reproduces norms, but also how some of… Continue reading Zandra Wellmar

This degree project explores the possibility of reuse in a modular system, designed to be flexible, expandable with new components, and finally easily dismantled to meet changing needs and circumstances with the hope that the system will have a longer life than the interior that first housed it. The system has been reconfigured to test… Continue reading Sebastian Alneskog

Design must become more boring. People, their lives and survival are more important than design. The relationship between objects and users is fostered through an honest design language, which communicates function rather than aesthetics. These principles are behind the development of Kitchen for Homes, a modular kitchen system that opposes the sculptural, dysfunctional and unsustainable… Continue reading Oskar Schmidt

When I was little, I dreamed of becoming an architect. Now when I am an architect, I dream of playing. As a child, I felt that most things happened on the adults’ terms, but forts and playhouses gave me a sanctuary where I could be myself. A place where only my own rules applied, where… Continue reading Matilda Karlsson

Design evolution as a method for architectural survival To foster good living environments and sustainable building practices, we should protect cultural values and positive qualities in the already-built environment. At the same time, we need to evaluate if the existing architecture meets current and future needs. In my degree project, I analyze an existing building… Continue reading Maria Halling
