This project focuses on making a “Folkets hus”, a form of community centre available for its surrounding inhabitants to express their identities and experience different cultures, these buildings usually contain libraries, theatre, restaurants, art centre, educational spaces, a child section and more. The city chosen for this project was Arboga, a small old industrial town from the 13th century a few miles west about Eskilstuna. Approximately 14,100 inhabitants, of which 11,400 live in the city. Arboga has identified that the after school-centre and culture school needs to be expanded and renovated, due to a higher demand. There is also a demand for more houses and living space adapted for the elderly. I picked an old abandoned silo industry building next to a very old beautiful park to work on. The building has not been standing for more than 50 years and is already abandoned. I saw an opportunity to urbanise the building and give locals the chance to use its height to see their city from above. My project called  “SILO” is a six floor community centre and a ten floor high apartment building. The community centre contains: restaurants, library, dance rooms, theatre room, music and radio room, art room, after school-centre, art gallery, lecture room, rooftop with a garden, an office floor and lots of spaces focusing on creative activities for all ages. The apartment building to the east contains eighteen 1 room apartments and eighteen 3 room apartments. / Projekt fokuserar på ”Folkets hus”, en plats för invånare för att uttrycka sin identitet och uppleva olika kulturer, dessa byggnader innehåller vanligtvis bibliotek, teater, restauranger, konsthall, utbildningslokaler, en barnavdelning och mer. Staden som valdes för detta projekt var Arboga, en liten gammal industristad från 1200-talet några mil väster om Eskilstuna. Cirka 14 100 invånare därav 11 400 bor I staden. Arboga har identifierat att fritidshemmet och kulturskolan behöver byggas ut och renoveras, på grund av en högre efterfrågan. Det efterfrågas också fler hus och bostadsrätt anpassade för äldre. Jag valde en gammal övergiven silo industribyggnad som låg bredvid en fin gammal park. Byggnaden har inte stått på mer än 50 år och är redan övergiven. Jag såg en möjlighet att urbanisera byggnaden och ge Arbogaborna chansen att använda dess höjd för att se sin stad från ett nytt perspektiv. Mitt projekt som heter "SILO", ett sexvåning högt kulturhus och ett tio våningar högt lägenhet hus. Folkhuset innehåller: restauranger, bibliotek, dansrum, teaterrum, musik- och radiorum, konstrum, fritidshem, konsthall, föreläsningssal, takterrass med örtagård, kontorsvåning och massor av utrymmen som fokus på kreativa aktiviteter för alla åldrar. Hyreshuset i öster innehåller arton anpassade 1:or och arton loft 3:or.

The project is for the central building of a community center used by the communities of Blacksburg and Christiansburg. The building is a space configured as a hub that uses axes to determine entering, exiting and vertical movement. The hub configuration of the building is in concentric rings around the atrium in both space and materials. As materials were brought into the building, they enhanced the strong axial configuration and emphasized the layers surrounding the central hub space of the atrium. There are two pairs of axes in the building. The entrance axes are perpendicular to the faces of the building and provide lines of sight through it. They also establish the paths of entering and exiting the building. The diagonal axes regulate the vertical movement throughout the building. / Master of Architecture

This thesis explores the design of a community center tailored for autistic adults, aiming to foster inclusivity and blur boundaries between neurodiverse and non-neurodiverse individuals. Through interdisciplinary approaches, it investigates spatial and sensory elements to create an immersive experience where everyone can perceive the world through an autistic person's perspective. By prioritizing sensory inclusivity and participatory design, the center aims to provide a supportive environment for exploration and interaction. Additionally, it explores how immersive experiences can cultivate empathy, bridging gaps and fostering genuine connections. Ultimately, this thesis advocates for a paradigm shift in community space design, celebrating neurodiversity and promoting unity. / Master of Architecture / This thesis explores the design of a community center tailored for autistic adults, aiming to foster inclusivity and blur boundaries between neurodiverse and non-neurodiverse individuals.

La presente investigación busca marcar las pautas para el correcto diseño de un Centro Comunitario que contribuya a suplir el déficit de infraestructura de un sector del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho. Se parte de las problemáticas sociales de la zona y de la investigación de la tipología para introducir funciones específicas según los requerimientos propios de la población de la zona. Así mismo, proyectos referenciales, tanto nacionales como extranjeros ayudan a darle forma a la propuesta. Se define y analiza el terreno elegido y sus alrededores, el tipo y cantidad de usuario, la frecuencia de uso y el radio de acción del proyecto, todo ello tomando especial consideración en el diseño integral del proyecto con su ciudad. De ahí que se enfatice en la integración de espacios exteriores e interiores para que así, el espacio público, el entorno y el peatón guíen el planteamiento formal y espacial de la propuesta. / The present investigation seeks to set the guidelines for the correct design of a Community Center that contributes to supply the infrastructure deficit of a sector of the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. It has started from the social problems of the area and the investigation of the typology to introduce specific functions according to the requirements of the population of the area. Likewise, reference projects, both national and foreign, help to shape the proposal. The chosen terrain and its surroundings are defined and analyzed, the type and quantity of the user, the frequency of use and the radius of action of the project, all taking special consideration in the integral design of the project with their city. Hence, emphasis is placed on the integration of exterior and interior spaces so that, public space, the environment and the pedestrian guide the formal and spatial approach of the proposal. / Tesis

LR Administracinių bylų teisenos įstatyme yra pateiktas sąrašas subjektų, pagal kurių kreipimąsi įstatymų nustatytais atvejais ir esant tam tikroms sąlygoms teismas imasi nagrinėti administracinę bylą dėl viešojo intereso pažeidimo, taip pat kurie gali kreipti į teismą su pareiškimu dėl viešojo intereso pažeidimo . Tarp šių subjektų minimos ir įstaigos bei organizacijos. Bendruomenių centrų teisinio statuso ir veiklos nereglamentuoja joks specialus įstatymas, todėl, vykdydami savo veiklą ir siekdami savo tikslų, kuriais iš esmės siekiama tenkinti bendruosius bendruomenės narių interesus, kurie, tikėtina, tam tikrais atvejais gali sutapti su viešuoju interesu, bendruomenių centrai susiduria su klausimu – ar gali bendruomenės centras kreiptis į administracinį teismą su pareiškimu dėl viešojo intereso gynimo, o jei taip, tai kokiais atvejais jam tokia teisė suteikiama.

In these latter years efforts of society to protect its rights and interests are very appreciable: various non-governmental organizations, activity groups are formed to strive to participate in enactment of decisions in public sector by administrative authorities, to have an opportunity to test the legality and transparency of these decisions and administrative procedures, to appeal the decision and so on. More and more attention is given not only to protection of private person against abuse by administrative authorities, but to protection of public interest – rights and freedoms that are essentially significant, necessary and valuable to the society. Establishment of community organizations or community centers is here a new process, just recently started in Lithuania, but nowadays getting intense – more and more community organizations are formed as in urban, so in the rural territories. There is no one act to regulate basic principles in formatting community organizations as well as carrying on its activities, legal personality, rights and responsibilities and other essential questions, so there comes some obscurities, ambiguities and concepts complexities about community organizations and community.

Viena iš efektyviausių ir pasaulyje sėkmingai socialinių paslaugų veiklą vykdančių trečiojo sektoriaus organizacija – bendruomenės centras. Bendruomenė ir bendruomenės centras kaip organizacija gali nuimti nemažą dalį socialinių paslaugų naštos nuo valstybės pečių, bendradarbiaudama su valstybinėmis institucijomis kitomis nevyriausybinėmis organizacijomis, perimdama kai kurias funkcijas ir būdama tarpininku tarp individo ir vykdomos politikos. Lietuvoje, kaip ir visame pasaulyje, socialinė apsauga bei socialinių paslaugų teikimas yra visada aktuali valstybės politikos dalis. Valstybinės institucijos ne visada pajėgios efektyviai teikti socialines paslaugas, juo labiau, socialinių problemų šaltinių atsiranda vis naujų – migracijos sukeltos problemos, priklausomybių ligos ir kt. Bendruomenės centrai, kaip artimiausioji institucija, esanti arčiausiai individo bei jo šeimos, gali orientuotis ne tik į jau įvykusių reiškinių pasekmių likvidavimą, bet ir vykdyti prevenciją, užkirsdama kelią socialinės problemos vystymuisi ir išvengti pasekmių ateityje, vykdyti kompleksinį darbą, apimantį visas visuomenėje veikiančias socialiai silpnas grupes. Šio darbo tikslas – identifikuoti bendruomenės centrų vaidmenį Kauno miesto savivaldybės socialinių paslaugų sistemoje, paslaugų gavėjų nuomone. Darbo objektas – bendruomenės centrų vaidmuo socialinių paslaugų sistemoje. Tikslui pasiekti šiame darbe naudojamas kiekybinio tipo tyrimas. Bendruomenės lygmenyje socialinių poreikių ir lūkesčių...

Community centre as an organization can take a great load of social work from government, collaborating with governmental institutions and other nongovernmental organizations, by absorbing some functions and becoming an intermediate between the individual and the governmental policy. In Lithuania as in the whole world social security and social services is a relevant part of governmental policy. Governmental institutions are not always capable to provide effective social service care, especially when new sources of social problems occur – migration problems, addiction problems and other. Community centers as the closest institution to the individual may be oriented into the prevention, preventing the social problem from developing and not the liquidation of the consequences, to present the complex work that include all the groups of risk in society. The purpose of this work is to identify the role of the community centers in Kaunas social service’s system according to the opinion of the recipients. The subject of this work is the role of the community centers in social services’ system. To achieve the purpose a quantitative analysis was used. In the community level the evaluation of the social needs and expectations is very important, because it is the base, a community development can be constructed and the guidelines of the social services can be prognosticated.

The overarching goal of this investigation is to determine how an existing building of spatial and programmatic rigidity can serve as a framework for designing a more integrated center for personal and community development. This project is an exploration of what a building can evolve into after its "shelf-life" has expired, with the aid of a reconsidered architectural vision. Formulated within criteria individual to its context, it is intended to be an investigation of possibility and the testing of a nascent potential, not an attempt to serve as a prescriptive, panacea solution. It is an examination of a creative vision in the development of a more responsive and expressive community space. Through this exploration, the architectural experience as derived from a subject-object perspective will be investigated and considered, as well as the art of placemaking in crafting a design strategy that is responsive to its immediate context, reconsidering the ability of architecture to generate meaning and experience outside of its prototypically considered building-envelope boundaries. By focusing on the potential to for personal and community-based growth and development, three avenues of program will be explored: Education, Experience, and Expression. Serving as an intersection point between cultural production and cultural consumption, the transmission of this cultural capital has the ability to gestate a deeper sense of identity amongst the embedded community.

El trabajo de investigación plantea la creación de un centro comunitario en Villa El Salvador con el énfasis de la permeabilidad. Que surge por la necesidad del lugar por carecer de espacios y oportunidades en el distrito que promuevan actividades sociales, culturales, deportivas con el fin de contribuir el desarrollo de los jóvenes y adolescentes a nivel barrial del sector. Se plantea un centro comunitario como un lugar de ayuda y complementación para la comunidad. En la que puedan invertir su tiempo libre y además sacar provecho de este. Para tener mayores referencias del centro comunitario, se analizaron proyectos referentes con la misma tipología y también con el mismo énfasis a nivel nacional y del extranjero. El énfasis de la permeabilidad en la arquitectura se trabaja principalmente en la transición del exterior al interior. Considerando aspectos importantes como el asoleamiento del lugar, la materialidad y los aspectos tecnológicos para poder transmitir el énfasis en el proyecto. Concluimos, que el proyecto tiene la finalidad de potenciar las capacidades individuales y colectivas de quienes viven en marginación, a su vez dotar de espacios públicos y semipúblicos a la comunidad preexistente. / The research work proposes the creation of a community center in Villa El Salvador with the emphasis on permeability. That arises from the need for the place because it lacks spaces and opportunities in the district that promote social, cultural and sports activities in order to contribute to the development of youth and adolescents at the neighborhood level of the sector. A community center is proposed as a place of help and complement for the community. In which they can invest their free time and also take advantage of it. In order to have more references from the community center, reference projects with the same typology and also with the same emphasis at the national level and abroad were analyzed. The emphasis of permeability in architecture is primarily on the transition from exterior to interior. Considering important aspects such as the sunlight of the place, the materiality and the technological aspects in order to transmit the emphasis on the project. We conclude that the project aims to enhance the individual and collective capacities of those who live on the margins, in turn providing public and semi-public spaces to the pre-existing community. / Trabajo de investigación
