HAGALUND IS AN ACTIVE INDUSTRIAL AREA IN A CENTRAL LOCATION THAT IS FACING AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE. THE HIGH DEMANDS OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STOCKHOLM REGION WILL MOST LIKELY TRANSFORM IT INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA, FORCING THE EXISTING BUSINESSES TO MOVE OUT FROM THE CITY TO A PERIPHERAL LOCATION. THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE CAN BE AN ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT. CAN THE AREA BE DEVELOPED WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KEEPING THE BUSINESSES? CAN THERE BE COEXISTENCE BETWEEN INDUSTRIES AND RESIDENTS? / HAGALUND ÄR ETT AKTIVT INDUSTRIOMRÅDE I ETT CENTRALT LÄGE SOM GÅR EN OSÄKER FRAMTID TILL MÖTES. DEN HÖGA EFTERFRÅGAN PÅ BOSTADSUTVECKLING I STOCKHOLMREGIONEN KOMMER SANNOLIKT ATT GÖRA OM OMRÅDET TILL ETT BOSTADSOMRÅDE OCH TVINGA INDUSTRIERNA ATT FLYTTA UTANFÖR STADEN. DETTA ÄR EN UNDERSÖKNING OM DET KAN FINNAS EN ALTERNATIV UTVECKLING. KAN OMRÅDET UTVECKLAS MED FÖRUTSÄTTNINGEN ATT INDUSTRIERNA STANNAR I OMRÅDET? KAN DET FINNAS SAMEXISTENS MELLAN INDUSTRIERNA OCH DE BOENDE?

Städer har under sin framväxt planerats på olika sätt. Från rutnätsplaner under 1600-talet till 1900-talets planering som resulterade i sovstäder separerade från arbetsplatserna. När städerna vuxit har de områden som från början låg i utkanten istället hamnat närmare stadens centrum. Gamla industriområden ligger som kilar i stadsbilden och genom att ändra användningen av marken där kan nya bostadsområden växa fram. Dagens forskning visar på att en blandad struktur i bebyggelsen med bostäder, verksamheter och tät gatustruktur är vägen framåt. Är dessutom variationen stor vad gäller typen av bostäder finns det möjlighet att skapa ett område där människor kan trivas över tid och flytta mellan olika bostäder under olika skeden i livet.     Studien utreder hur ett område i Västervik, i studien kallat Lärkstaden, kan planeras för framtidens medborgare. Förslaget täcker en yta på 97 000 kvadratmeter som idag innefattar 12 fastigheter, ett koloniområde och grönområden. Här finns idag småskalig industri och handel. Även en del företag inom byggbranschen har sina lokaler i Lärkstaden och den angränsar till bostadsbebyggelse och grönområden. Genom att rita upp ett förslag på ny utformning undersöks vilka funktioner som kan samsas i Lärkstaden och hur bebyggelsestrukturen blir långsiktig. Förslaget förankras i tidigare forskning genom en litteraturstudie. För att få en större förståelse för platsen genomförs ett antal platsbesök och även intervjuer av personer som genom erfarenheter och kunskap bidrar med tankar och idéer. / Cities have been planned in different ways during their growth. From grid plans during the 17th century through 20th-century planning that resulted in quiet parts of the city that lacked life and vitality separated from workplaces. As the cities grew, the areas that were originally on the outskirts ended up closer to the city center. Old industrial areas are like wedges in the cityscape and by changing the use of the land there, new residential areas can emerge. The research today shows that an area with a mixed structure that contains housing, businesses, and a dense street structure is the way forward. In addition, there are great variations in the type of housing that can be constructed to create an area where people can thrive over time and move between different homes during different stages of life.   The study investigates how an area in Västervik, in the study called Lärkstaden, can be planned for the citizens of the future. The idea covers an area of 97 000 square meters which today includes 12 properties, a plantation area, and green space. Today there is small-scale industry and trade. Some companies in the construction industry also have their premises in Lärkstaden and it is adjacent to residential buildings and green areas. By drawing up an idea for a new design, an investigation has been carried out showing which functions can be shared in Lärkstaden and how it would become sustainable in the long-term as it will have the required mixed structure mentioned above. The idea is anchored by previous research through a literature study. To gain a greater understanding of the area, visits have been made and people have been interviewed through experience and knowledge offer thoughts and ideas. / <p>Betyg 2021-06-04</p>

Bc.Tomková Martina. Územní studie „Zbrojovka“. Brno, FAST 2012. The diploma thesis deals with the revitalization of the industrial area of the former Zbrojovka Brno Company. The area is close to the historical centre of Brno. The principal idea of the diploma thesis was to introduce new activities in the area while making use of the current area potential as well as to restore the economic balance and keep the genius loci of the area. The implementation of this idea has required building conversions in the area and the development of a new project the main idea of which is the university campus. The new project of the area benefits from the layout of buildings, especially the layout of large-capacity halls, the closeness of the city centre and the possibility of the railway connection. The whole conception is in compliance with the strategic development plan of Brno which comprises the issues of research, development, innovation and education. On campus there is an independent office building with integrated railway station, multimedia and sport centre as well as a municipal park. The area is open to and offers a wide range of services to general public. The diploma thesis includes the model of the area design.

The content of this diploma thesis is an urban study with the architectural details of the former Bata Industrial Park in Partizánske, and a particular conversion program for the building. My goal was to find a suitable concept for converting building no. 61 with respect to the city, to the people living in it, and to reintegrate into the life of a building that is empty today, unused and dilapidated. The goal was not to forcefully fill the functions of the building, but in successive steps and phases to find a solution how to reuse the building and to point to the factory as a element of the city's foundation and also to highlight the unique architecture of the Baťa period.

With the more profound use of sustainable developments and degrowth ideas, new trends emerge where urban planners and architects are looking for already built areas that can be re-imaginedas vibrant parts of the city. Most often, those places are post-industrial sites, which are taking a new image and purpose. Multiple examples in European cities shows that those areas are becoming a new vital urban elements and fruitful grounds for implementation of environmentally protective design solutions. However, metamorphic developments of historically important parts of the cities are often susceptible to uninspiring generic design solutions that not necessarily always meet the current needs of citizens. Therefore, this research identifies how such post-industrial zones should be redeveloped with the use of citizens' visions to produce distinctive design solutions that can additionally incorporate sustainable ideas and develop a vibrant area.This research focuses on the post-industrial case in Osijek, Croatia, an old and abandoned Iron Foundry and Machine Factory (OLT). Constructed at the turn of the century (1912.), with its distinguishable architecture, it serves as an important image and industrial heritageof the city. Recently, Osijek Municipality has proposed a plan for its regeneration. Idea became widely appreciated as it was finally decided to somehow protect this valuable public good. However, as this research identifies, the municipal plan does not incorporate any means of citizen participation, nor it goes together with citizens mentioned needs - thus pursuing a plan for developing a generic design. Using qualitative methods, this research is addressing the importance of participation in such projects, as it can focus expertson the hidden meaning and character of the place, derived from citizens’ outputs. Additionally, this research shows that methods suchas participatory workshop, can generate ideas for design solutions that can benefit both current and future users of the place. Furthermore, it suggests that citizens, even though they are notexperts on the topic – can produce interesting and valuable information that can be used by planners and architects to fully utilise and transform the area with design solutions which can incorporate people’s needs.

Viared, Borås' largest industrial area, has expanded rapidly since the 1970s, replacing fertile farmlands with factories and warehouses. Only traces of its agricultural past remain. How can we cultivate a sense of belonging and identity in an area where most of it has dissapered? This project proposes creating a public space amid the industries to foster a sense of belonging, identity and to re-connect with its agricultural history. The envisioned space will feature smallscale farming, a museum, and a venue for Viareds Historical Society to promote coexistence between large-scale industries and small-scale communities. Despite the industrial dominance, remnants of the rural village persist with sheep grazing among the slopes and old stone walls right next to the industrial area. This juxtaposition of rural and industrial, historical and contemporary, defines Viared's unique character. An empty 7 hectare plot in-between the industries, formerly inhabited and used as farmlands, has been left untouched since it was forcefully acquired by the companies decades ago. Marked by oak trees, trails, and old stone walls, it straddles the line between industrial and rural, lacking a distinct identity and a future vision. This project aims to transform this undefined space into a vibrant area that reflects the diversity of its surroundings. Positioned amid workplaces, natural trails, fields, factories, and warehouses, it can be seen as an indust-rural panorama showcasing the region's multifaceted identity. It seeks to reconcile with history, strengthening the voices of the native community, and to find a sustainable way forward. / Viared, Borås största industriområde, har expanderat snabbt sedan 1970-talet och ersatt bördiga jordbruksmarker med fabriker och lagerlokaler. Hur kan vi återskapa en känsla av tillhörighet och identitet i ett område där det mesta av den har försvunnit? Endast spår av områdets jordbrukshistoria återstår. Detta projekt föreslår att skapa ett offentligt rum mitt i industriparken för att främja en känsla av tillhörighet, identitet och att återknyta till dess jordbrukshistoria. Det föreslagna området kommer att innehålla småskaligt jordbruk, ett museum och en plats för Viareds Hembygdsförening för att främja samverkan mellan storskaliga industrier och småskaliga samhällen. Trots industridominansen kvarstår rester av Viareds by med betande får bland sluttningarna och gamla stenmurar precis intill industriområdet. Denna kontrast mellan lantligt och industriellt, historiskt och samtida, definierar Viareds unika karaktär. En tom 7 hektar stor tomt mellan industrierna, tidigare bebodd och använd som jordbruksmark, har förblivit orörd sedan den tvångsförvärvades av företagen för decennier sedan. Märkt av ekar, stigar och gamla stenmurar existerar den mellan industriellt och lantligt, utan en tydlig identitet och framtidsvision. Detta projekt syftar till att omvandla detta odefinierade utrymme till ett levande område som speglar mångfalden i dess omgivning. Positionerat mitt bland arbetsplatser, naturstigar, fält, fabriker och lagerlokaler kan det ses som ett panorama som visar regionens mångfacetterade identitet. Det strävar efter att försonas med historien, stärka det lokala samhällets röster och att hitta en hållbar väg framåt.

The aim of the thesis is to revive the former textile factory complex, which is located on a unique place - on the island between the river Svitava and the race. The main idea is to make the area accessible and to use its potential, focusing primarily on the link of history, identity of the place, quality public space and the functional content of the whole area. The concept of the whole work is the planning in time and the gradual phase of integrating brownfields back into the lives of not only local Brno citizens. The island in Obřany could thus become the heart of this city district, a meeting place with a rich cultural life, a space for relaxation, activities and leisure activities close to nature in a charming environment with a touch of Brno's industrial history.

In modern society, loneliness is often talked about as an undesirable thing and something that should be eliminated, which makes it obvious that many people are suffering from it.  Considering that the physical spaces we inhabit significantly shape our social interactions and relationships, this project aims to highlight the importance of spatial design in fostering connections with others beyond oneself. Specifically, the gaze is directed toward co-living. Slakthusområdet is a slaughter industrial area that is going to be developed from an industrial area into an urban district with lots of housing.  On the site, I have examined how spatial design can create a lifestyle on our own initiative and feel a sense of belonging in a new environment. Through personal observations, this project explores a way of life that accepts loneliness and seeks to live with it. In this project, I call this way of living “Being alone together”. By using physical models as the primary medium, I proposed a housing complex that offers diverse forms of living spaces to accommodate all residents. This new approach to communal living holds the potential to unlock new possibilities of life, particularly for urban dwellers. Furthermore, it offers a fresh and unique solution in response to the housing challenges faced in Stockholm.
