I denna uppsats undersöker jag hur dricksglas i materialet glas kan anpassas för reumatiker. Syftet med studien är att titta på om jag kan finna alternativa lösningar på att det idag inte finns ett attraktivt alternativ för reumatiker vad det gäller glas. Jag utför min undersökning genom att designa ett antal olika exempel på glas och dessa testas senare av en testgrupp som består utav fyra av Reumatikerförbundets medlemmar i Göteborg. Uppsatsens resultat visar att tre av de glasen jag designat har särskilt potencial vad gäller behjälpliga former för reumatiker.

Mitt kandidatprojekt är en kommunal administrationsbyggnad belägen i Strängnäs. Projektet försöker utforska hur man kan skapa modern arkitektur i en historisk miljö. Hur formger man en byggnad med vår tids material och byggnadstekniker som fortfarande kan relatera till äldre tiders typologier utan att bli pastich? / My bachelor project is an administration building in Strängnäs, Sweden.  It attempts to explore ways of creating modern architecture in a historic environment. How do you design a building, using the materials and building techniques of our time, that can relate to typologies from other eras without becoming pastiche?

My project for a civic hall in Gnesta has the overriding idea to face the square, where the streets Storgatan and Torggatan cross. I think this appeals to the strength of the site as it is a public building, but also, because the lake Frösjön is placed like a backdrop from that perspective. The design concept is to frame the site with two imposing buildings and to create an interesting room at the space in between, the place for an atrium. At the space in between, certain parts of the civic hall will be exposed as public from the viewpoint inside the atrium, bathed in sunlight. The public environment will be experienced as being outside, yet one is inside. The glass is meant to allow for experiencing the weather outside by its transparency. The façade in brick of the two building volumes become the loadbearing walls for the inside of the atrium – adding to the feeling of being outside. / Förslaget för medborgarhus i Gnesta har som övergripande idé att vända sig mot torget, där Stor- och Torggatan korsas. Det verkar lämpligt eftersom det är en offentlig byggnad och dessutom är utsikten mot vattnet en tillgång på platsen. Tanken är att rama in platsen med två byggnadskroppar och skapa ett intressant mellanrum, platsen för ett atrium. I mellanrummet exponeras vissa delar av medborgarhuset som transparant och ljusinsläppet är påtagligt. Den offentliga miljön ska kännas som om man är utomhus fastän man är i ett inomhus klimat. Glaset är ett material som tillåter en att uppleva vädret till exempel genom droppljud på rutan. De två volymernas ytterväggar i tegel blir innerväggar för atriet. Detta ska förstärka känslan att man är utomhus.

The purpose of this of this essay is to explore the construction of a conservatory that is livable all year around. When you build a conservatory there are several factors that need to be regarded that usually are of no importance when you build a regular conservatory. The glassed facade needs to have a very good U-value and all the parts of the facade need to be isolated and the construction needs to prevent thermal bridges. In this essay we will start by looking at the shape of the conservatory. Due to the façade consists of glass the conservatory will need to have a good ratio between the area and the façade so that the heat losses will be at a minimum. However, due to the fact that one of the sides of the façade is connected to the warm house, you quickly realize that the shape of the conservatory is of no importance. There are two common ways to build a foundation for a conservatory, a molded concrete foundation and isolated wooden beams. The molded concrete foundation is usually recommended but if you have a difference in heights on the ground the wooden beams are a good solution. The frame of the conservatory usually consists of gluelam; however there are some exceptions where the frame consists of aluminum. It is very common for the roof of a conservatory to consist of polycarbonate which is a very good at isolating while the price is still relatively low. Depending on how much time of the year you want to spend in the conservatory the thickness of the polycarbonate while differ. It is recommended that the minimum thickness of the roof of a conservatory that is to be used all year round should be 32 mm. The price of the conservatory varies greatly depending on how much time of the year you want to use it. A regular conservatory can cost around 33 000 SEK for an area of 10,5 m 2while the same conservatory would cost up to 127 000 SEK. The difference in price arises due to the fact that the demands on a conservatory are higher it is to be used all year round. While a regular conservatory might have a U-value of 6,7 W/(m 2*K) the U-value of an all year round conservatory is 1,1 W/(m 2*K). The biggest increase in price comes when you go from an almost all year round conservatory to an all year round conservatory. The U-value decreases with 31 % while the price increases with 152 %. This is probably due to the complex process of preventing thermal bridges by installing plastic between the aluminum profiles. In today’s market there are three different categories of facades: sliding facades, folding facades and fixed parties. Even within the different categories there are different facades, they vary depending on how many glasses they consist of. These differentiate in price, this price difference is directly correlated to how much of the facade that you can open. The more you can open, the more expensive the price is. Also, we examine two different ways of heating the room, stoves and floor heating. Floor heating is a popular alternative for all year round conservatories because they usually have a molded concrete foundation. It is rather difficult to install floor heating in isolated wooden beams. That is why we examine another alternative, stove that run on ethanol. Apart from the heat they also add an esthetic appeal. At the end of the essay we will design our own conservatory that is adapted to the house. The final price for the all year round conservatory lands at a whopping 313 300 SEK.

Projektet är centralt placerat i Järna och har sitt huvudsakliga fokus på att värna om områdets ungdomar och Stockholms övriga förorter. Genom att skapa en trygg och välkomnande plats, samt bistå med engagerande och stimulerande verksamheter, förväntas den psykiska ohälsan bland unga att kunna minskas. / The project is located in central Järna and has its main focus to care for the local community's youth as well the youth in the rest of Stockholms suburbs. By creating a safe and welcoming place, as well as housing engaging and stimulating activities, the mental illness amoung Järnas youth is expected to decrease.
