The field between Stockholm University Frescati campus and the student housing area of Lappkärrsberget, commonly known as Lappis, is today used as a passage – otherwise it is completely empty. This passage is a naturally created shortcut by thousands of students living there, because it is simply a faster way home than the constructed pathway beside it. This proposal is about adding a structure along a passage, an open ground level available for everyone passing by. What geometries are formed from the angle of this specific one? What about the evident lack of student housing in Stockholm today? Can architectural representation be used to develop these design decisions? Drawings, models or even composed techniques are all important ways of explaining spatial atmospheres and logics, especially as architecture students, because these are usually the only physical element that bring our projects to life.

This project is a reaction towards the static nature of the built world, and seeks to empower the end-user in the housing market by developing a highly customizable non-load bearing prefabricated panel system that allows for people to design, build, own, change and move their own apartments. It then explores the potential for it to resolve the current housing situation - both as new construction and through parasitic means (inhabiting parking garages, industrial buildings, renovation projects) - and the dynamics of user-defined living within society as a whole.
