1	The House on Kuvitchenko Street : Balancing urgency with the timeless essence of heritage Pihl, Noelle January 2024 (has links) We need to build less. As a soon-to-be architectural graduate, one could have hoped that the architectural discourse would have come to a more uplifting insight, but here we are, and the reason behind it is perhaps even more daunting, climate change. It seems increasingly apparent that building “green” may not be enough, we must build less. As if that was not prodigious enough, there is the paradoxical fact that, due to war and climate change, there is a growing population of displaced people, rising the demand for new housing and it is doing so at an everything ever-accelerating pace. As a final product, the thesis aims to question on how architects should navigate the demand for immediate shelter without sacrificing the preservation of a nation’s identity, delicately balancing urgency with the timeless essence of cultural heritage by proposing an architecture that is meant to last. A house that will stand the test of time in terms of external stresses caused by the climate, variations in the perception of aesthetic allure as well as the identity of the nation, city, and neighborhood.

2	Slow Architecture Wolstencroft, Max January 2021 (has links) Research into how one can create architecture that will last beyond the foreseeable future. Part ONE is research based, building up a manifesto based on; structural integrity, aesthetic longevity, programmatic adaptability and cultural relevance. The research is based on observing historical architecture from the past 2,000 years, both looking into how the buildings have stood the test of time physically, but also why they might remain attractive, analysing the comings and goings of beauty through time. The research is compiled and represented through suggested ideal ways of designing each of the architectural elements, such as the wall, window, door, threshold or stair. Part TWO applies the research to a case study; the extension and renovation of the Royal Palace in Stockholm, in order to turn the residence into a public building, with the extension functioning as a connection point between the city landscape and the palace beyond. The design has no specific programme other than allowing the palace complex to be used by the public, as they wish, for the future to come. A large part of the design is essentially made up of sculptural urban landscaping, colonnaded and vaulted walkways both interacting with the waterfront, and bringing the public up to the level of the palace which today stands behind tall walls. Whilst internally the new building functions as an entrance hall with necessary facilities, and creates a route into the existing palace.
