I have analyzed and improved the area of Alviks strand with a number ofcontributions, with the main goal of reprogramming existing office buildingsinto housing and to create a vibrant urban district. The buildings are allowedto remain, and not demolished and replaced. This saves roughly 16000 tons ofcarbon dioxide.I enhance the postmodern architecture, transform the office plans into apartments,reprogram the streets, develop the conference building and add a newelevator to the tram. Changes and additions that strengthen the existing buildingmass. The relatively new curved buildings are built to stand for 100 yearsand with my transformation, Alviks strand becomes a lively and accessiblepart of the city.

Ombildning av hyresrätt till hyresrätt är en komplicerad process. Nödvändiga juridiska och andra behövliga kunskaper saknas ofta hos hyresgästerna. Ombildningsfusk förekommer och rapporteras allt oftare i media. Uppsatsen undersöker hur en ombildningsprocess går till och vilka problem som eventuellt finns i processen liksom i författning. I synnerhet aspekter av rättsäkerhet, möjlighet att överklaga och få insyn i processen för de olika parterna i ombildningsprocessen.

Regional architecture defines a type of architecture that adapts to the everyday needs of a people and is constructed by the building methods and materials of the region. Regions do not have clear boundaries, but are largely defined by the conditions of nature: climate, soil, topography, vegetation, water. Through this thesis project I have tried to create a regional architecture in Indianapolis, Indiana that embraces the surrounding context, but does not imitate the architecture of the past, through a mixed-use building for everyday life. / Master of Architecture

The real estate market in Sweden has experienced a significant increase in prices since the late 1990s, with prices for building materials and labour increasing by almost 60% more than consumer prices. Interest rates and mortgage lending have also impacted the real estate market, with higher disposable income and lower real interest rates accounting for almost 90% of the price increase. Population growth and migration have also impacted the demand for housing in Sweden's metropolitan areas. Regulatory measures have also impacted the housing market, with macroprudential policies introduced to stabilize the market and prevent housing bubbles. This paper examines the macroeconomic factors that affect the average square meter price for tenant-owned apartments in Sweden's three metropolitan areas, Greater Stockholm, Greater Gothenburg, and Greater Malmo. The variables studied are disposable income, unemployment rate, OMXSPI index, mortgage interest rates, new developments, an amortization dummy, and a trend variable. Two regression models have been produced where the difference is that the trend variable is included in only one of them (model 2). The result of the study shows that all variables are statistically significant in model (1).

Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of the Built Environment (Housing), to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017 / Johannesburg like many rapidly urbanising cities around the world has the problem of a lack of affordable accommodation and inadequate access to basic services (Tissington, 2013). Residents in the inner city use spaces and buildings in a way that reclaims the promises of the city to a better life. As historian and cultural theorist Abdou Maliq Simone (2004) has noted people within African Cities have a probable tendency to improvise. In this research I use the concept of evolutionary resilience, which has been described to account for individuals and households ability adapt in constantly changing environments (Simmie & Martin, 2010) to explore the responses of residents to precarious living conditions and vulnerability that is created by conditions of insecure tenure and evictions. There is little comparative empirical research about how inner city residents talk about their lives and experiences. This research contributes to filling this gap by examining the experiences of residents and highlighting the ways in which as Cirugeda (2004) points to, residents often use empowerment strategies that encourage inhabitants to subvert laws and regulations, in order to maximise self-help by appropriating structures for better living conditions (Cirugeda 2004). This research utilises in depth interviews that were conducted within selected buildings in the inner city using a semi structured interview guide. The objective is to examine the strategies of coping with the exposure to risk and how individuals respond to these shocks. Şoitu (undated) states that vulnerability is a situation of social, economic and physiological need when individuals are marginalised and resilience is a personal resource that allows individuals to face stress and shocks and provides strength (Şoitu, undated). This research finds that there are many difficulties, threats and vulnerabilities that residents are exposed to and residents invoke various strategies and responses for coping.

L'acquisition d'un appartement dans un immeuble en copropriété semble être aujourd'hui une opération banale tant pour les consommateurs que pour les praticiens, chacun semblant considérer que l'objet de l'acquisition se limite à "la propriété" d'un appartement dans un ensemble immobilier.La notion de copropriété en France est définie par l’article 1° de la loi du 10 juillet 1965 qui dispose : « La présente loi régit tout immeuble bâti ou groupe d'immeubles bâtis dont la propriété est répartie, entre plusieurs personnes, par lots comprenant chacun une partie privative et une quote-part de parties communes. ». Le lot de copropriété se présente donc comme un lien de droit à vocation perpétuelle instaurée entre des parties de l’immeuble pour permettre la répartition de sa propriété. Le lot de copropriété est finalement la résultante d’une appropriation individuelle (la partie privative) à l’aide d’un procédé collectif (l’indivision généralisée des parties communes) et entre dans la notion plus large de propriété privée.L'analyse de la nature juridique du lot de copropriété vient cependant démontrer que l'objet de l’acquisition par le candidat acheteur est de nature bien différente. Celle-ci réside en une forme d’appropriation complexe en raison des distinctions qu’elle implique entre les différentes composantes du lot mais aussi en raison de la multiplicité des qualifications juridiques qu’elle conjugue.Les droits attachés à la notion de lot de copropriété semblent être des droits complexes, tantôt droits personnels, tantôt droits réels, combinant pleine propriété, indivision, servitudes, usufruit et nue-propriété, ce que l’on pourrait appeler « la propriété plurielle », une forme de propriété « caméléon » avec des composantes hétérogènes.Le candidat acquéreur n’achète pas un appartement dans un immeuble mais, en réalité, une quote-part indivise dans des choses communes dont il ne connait ni l’étendue ni l’état ainsi que la jouissance exclusive d’un volume dénommé « partie privative » dont l’étendue est à la fois le critère et la conséquence (l’usage exclusif)L’analyse met en exergue une réelle discordance entre ce que les copropriétaires pensent posséder et la complexe réalité juridique de l’étendue de leur propriété et des droits et devoirs qui en découlent. Le découpage ainsi opéré démontre l’insécurité juridique du statut mis en place par la loi du 10 juillet 1965 ; c’est « l’illusion » de la copropriété immobilièreSi le statut de la copropriété devait être revu afin d’expliquer clairement au consommateur, qu’est le candidat copropriétaire, l’objet de son acquisition et ses implications juridiques et financières, il est fort à craindre qu’il se tourne vers une forme de propriété moins absconse. / The concept of ownership in condominium in France is defined by the Article 1 of the Law of 10 July 1965 states: "This Act governs any building or group of buildings whose ownership is divided among several people, composed each one by a private part and a part of common areas. ".The Lot of condominium is as a legal relationship established between perpetual vocation parts of the building to allow the distribution of its property. The condominium lot is the result of an individual appropriation with a collective process and into the wider concept of private property.Private property was designed by the French Revolution as a natural and inalienable human right, just as freedom. It is an inviolable and sacred right which no one can be private.The analys however highlights one hand great complexity on the scope of rights forming the components of the condominium lot but also its materiality. Difficulty identifying the physical reality of size lot suggests the distortion that may exist between the reality of this form of property and what the owner thinks .This Illusion present a real legal insécurity for the owner who does not measure extent of their rights and duties with respect to the nature of his property.

Para tanto, busca-se trazer à tona a discussão sobre a necessidade de se repensar o morar, adequado a todas as fases da vida e não somente aquele produzido para o homem-padrão-adulto, conforme se verifica nas práticas do mercado imobiliário atualmente. É fato que a chamada terceira idade vem recebendo mais atenção por parte dos pesquisadores de diferentes áreas, principalmente com o aumento no número de pessoas idosas devido à alta expectativa de vida e diminuição das taxas de natalidade, mas ainda há poucos estudos referentes à adequação de espaços arquitetônicos, especialmente em edifício de apartamentos. O desejo da maioria das pessoas, viver cada vez mais, pode resultar numa sobrevida marcada por incapacidade e dependência. O desafio é conseguir uma maior sobrevida com qualidade de vida. Nesse sentido, o local de moradia, símbolo e representação da identidade social de cada um, precisa ser pensado de modo a adequar-se a todas as etapas da vida. O presente estudo apresenta um exercício de adaptação e proposições de apartamentos adaptados para a terceira idade que permita o idoso ficar na sua casa quando envelhecer, através da revisão do espaço físico de edifício de apartamentos construídos/projetados em Vitória/ES, traçando um paralelo entre aquilo que é produzido/oferecido pelo mercado e as necessidades dos idosos, que requerem dimensionamento e ambientação adequados e específicos, para que se tornem seguros e confortáveis, permitindo maior independência, através da projetação de espaços e utilização de materiais e acessórios adequados, buscando atender as limitações físicas e funcionais da terceira idade. Foram analisados 2 (dois) apartamentos, sendo um com a tipologia da década de 70 e outro do ano de 2005, com programa de 03 quartos com suíte, banheiro social, sala de estar, cozinha e área de serviço. Foi estabelecido um quadro comparativo entre a produção atual e o considerado ideal em termos de adequação do espaço físico para a terceira idade. Através dele, pode-se comprovar que com um aumento de área mínimo é possível produzir apartamentos projetados com base no desenho universal. / The research bring up the discussion about the need of rethinking the living, appropriate to all life phases and not only that produced for the adult-man-pattern, as it is verified nowadays in the practices of the estate market. It is fact that the called third age people is receiving more attention in the part of the researchers of different areas, mainly with the increase in the number of senior people due the increase of life expectation and decrease of the birth rate, but there are still few referring studies to the adaptation of architectural spaces, especially in buildings of apartments. The desire of most people, to live more and more, can result in an extended time of life, marked by incapacities and dependence. The challenge is to get a larger more life with quality. In that sense, the home place, symbol and representation of the social identity of each one, needs to be thought from way to adapt all the stages of the life. This research presents suggestions of a theoretical conceptual model, through the analysis of the physical space of buildings of apartments built/projected in Vitória/ES, tracing a parallel among the ones that are produced/offered for the market and the seniors' needs that request dimensionally and appropriate ambients, specifics for them to in such a way to make them safe and comfortable, allowing them larger independence through the projected spaces by using materials and appropriate accessories, and looking for to assist the functional and physical limitations of the third age. Two apartments were analyzed, being one with the typology of the decade of 1970 and another of the year of 2005, with program of 03 rooms with suite, social bathroom, living room, cooking and service areas. It was established a comparative situation among the current production and considered ideal in terms of adaptation of the physical space for the third age. Through it, it can be proven that with a minimum area increase is possible to produce apartments projected based in the universal drawing.

Esta Tese trata da análise crítica da produção de edifícios de apartamentos recentemente ofertados pelo mercado imobiliário paulistano, no que se refere à qualidade de seus espaços internos e coletivos. O estudo parte de uma investigação sobre esta tipologia na cidade de São Paulo e seus reflexos - enquanto modelo - em cidade de médio porte, no caso Ribeirão Preto, no interior do estado. Na seqüência, busca-se a fundamentação teórico-conceitual sobre a qualidade do projeto e de seu processo de gestão, bem como das diversas técnicas de Avaliação Pós-Ocupação (APO) comumente utilizadas. Para exemplificar esta abordagem são avaliados quatro edifícios de apartamento, como estudos de caso, que junto com as análises teórico-conceituais, formam o escopo proposto dos procedimentos metodológicos de APO para tal modalidade habitacional. As análises contidas na tese permitem apontar conclusivamente para a transformação do apartamento, em mercadoria, ou seja, sua conversão em produto imobiliário que tem se aproximado cada vez mais do conceito e da sua viabilização como produto não durável, contrariando suas origens fundiárias e o papel social da habitação. Aponta também para o papel do arquiteto neste cenário imobiliário, como profissional desvalorizado no sentido mais amplo da arquitetura e relegado a cuidar das questões mais cosméticas e acessórias dos empreendimentos residenciais verticais. Por conseqüência conclui-se que o projeto arquitetônico idealizado para os edifícios de apartamentos atuais não atende de maneira satisfatória às reais necessidades dos usuários. A tese destaca a premência de uma ampla revisão no processo de criação e de gestão do processo de projeto, ensejando que se desenvolvam procedimentos que incluam bancos de dados alimentados por APOs e também uma participação mais efetiva do arquiteto à frente deste processo. Em resumo, recomenda-se enfaticamente idealizar e construir o edifício de apartamentos e sua área comum, tendo como foco seus usuários finais. / This thesis deals with the critical analysis of apartment buildings design recently offered by São Paulos real estate market, regarding to the quality of their indoor and collective environments. The study starts from an investigation into this typology in São Paulo city and its impact - as a model - over a midsize city, Ribeirão Preto, located in the inner part of São Paulo State. Then, it seeks to theoretical and conceptual basis over the quality of the design and its management process, as well as the various Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) techniques commonly used. To support this approach, four apartment buildings were evaluated, as case studies, which together with the theoretical and conceptual analysis they form the proposed scope for the methodological procedures of POE in such housing modality. The analysis emphasizes conclusively the conversion of the apartment into good, that is, its conversion into real estate product that has been increasingly more closed to the concept and the viability of a non-durable product, opposing to its ground origins and the social role of housing. It also points out the role of the architect in this real estate scenery, as a devalued professional in the broadest sense of architecture and relegated to taking care of most cosmetic and secondary issues of vertical residential ventures. Consequently it is concluded that the architectural design for apartment buildings does not satisfactorily meet the real users needs. Finally, the thesis recommends the urgency of a broad review of the conception and the design management process, providing the development of procedures that include databases fed by POEs and also a more effective participation of the architect in this process. To sum up, it is strongly recommended to design and to build the apartment building and its surroundings focusing on their final users.
