Projektet utspelar sig i två huvudsakliga rumskategorier, hallar och korridorer. En gemensam slutsats om de båda rummen är att de är byggda för att lämnas. De kan såklart innehålla rent praktiska egenskaper eller vara nödvändiga i infrastrukturen bakom större kompositioner. Men trots det är den enda anledningen till att du befinner dig i dem, att du är på väg eller väntar på att få röra dig vidare. Som inredningsarkitekt försöker jag hitta potential och mening att förändra upplevelsen. Tankar om att rummets öde är aningen tragiskt ger mig en uppgift som möbelformgivare, jag craftar för att ta mig an rummets problematik. Rummet är en transportsträcka och jag formger ett avbrott. Något som får en stanna upp, roas av en omväg. I mitt gestaltande och formsökande har jag refererat till redan existerande, historiska och nutida objekt som finns eller har funnits i rummen. Jag förändrar dem, gör tillägg. Skiss och formsökande i full skala har varit i fokus. Görande i verkstad har tillåtit mig testa och bygga vidare på idéer. Projektet mynnar ut i ett förslag om en serie av fem stycken furumöbler. Furan formas till gestalter med ornamentaliska kvalitéter. De utförs i limträ med frästa håligheter som dels fungerar som sammanfogningsmetod men ger också plats åt den funktionalitet som bjuder in till interaktion med brukare. Möblerna är mitt sätt som möbelformgivare att ta mig an rummets problematik.

The global communication networks of the internet and its physical spaces of cell towers,exchange points and data centers are places that we virtually visit everyday and everyhour, but where we humans are seen as an intruder if we were to visit them physically.These places where the internet lives can be seen as small glimpses of what the futuremight look like. Is the exclusion and disregard of humans an architecture of the future?

Movement is a constant factor in human nature. Throughout history, migration has played a constant role. People tend to move, leaving the place called home in the search for a better life. A journey that might be voluntary but sometimes one is left without any choice. In today's "European refugee crisis", the pattern of movement has come to reveal societal gaps where integration fails and segregation increases. Alarming reception conditions in refugee camps continue to be anything but dignified, speaking of a need for alternative reception strategies.    Meanwhile, refugee reception seen in small-sized communities seems to be an alternative that is beneficial for many reasons. The rural areas of Europe are facing a somewhat contrasting challenge. A population shift is draining societies of their inhabitants, threatening the existence of many small communities.    Along these lines, this thesis explores the potential for refugee reception in the rural context of Lesvos, Greece. The structure of this report goes through the background around the rural decline, important aspects for the feasibility in the context, and strategies to address the former. Finally, it resolves into a potential proposal that aims to respond to the research findings. Moreover, the research is based on literature review, mapping and collaborations. The report highlights the importance of developing local opportunities in regards to creating social value. The findings also identify specific mountain villages that could benefit from immigration and their need for restoring the agricultural sector.    It concludes that the mountain villages of Lesvos have the potential to serve as an inclusive alternative of refugee reception, as the smaller scale can contribute to the very valuable sense of belonging.

This report is an investigation of how architecture can support the integration and employment of displaced populations in the urban context of Izmir in Turkey. Izmir has been a host to a large number of refugees and migrants for many decades. This has put pressure on the city to provide these groups with adequate city services they would need when arriving in the city.  The report focuses on how different actors in the city can be involved in order to develop sustainable urban strategies that could support entrepreneurship and employment. The report goes through how this could strengthen a more inclusive and diverse city development that in a long-term perspective could support the integration of people arriving in the city. The report is going through the current asylum and work permit process in Turkey to get a brief understanding of the current issues that displaced groups are facing when arriving, and what kind of supportive networks that currently exist in the urban context of Izmir, and how an architectural project could plug into it.  To get an insight, in the context of Izmir, information has been gathered through interviews, discussions, mapping, local publications, and articles. The report has been complemented with research related to urban and planning strategies in both developed and developing countries to get a wider understanding of how to intervein with a project proposal in the inner city of Izmir.   The importance of diverse and collaborative initiatives amongst developers, and authorities become relevant to strive towards a sustainable urban renewal process in developing countries. Clear and updated planning policies taken forward in close conversation with the municipalities, developers, and actors in the city could support sustainable urban growth. In a long-term perspective, this could support displaced groups to find paths into diverse and adequate future work opportunities.  The report is concluded with a project investigation in how displaced populations could be received in the urban context of Izmir through employment and career guidance platforms, alongside a production program that could support these activities and encourage production development initiatives.
