What impact can architecture have on the theology of and worship in church architecture? What is their relationship? How could I combine my lifelong Christian faith and my soon to be profession, so that I might use it to worship and honor God with my architecture? Also, what places might religion have in our society, now that we are becoming more multicultural and perhaps more religious as well. These were questions I wanted to study this semester, and a conversation with my friend gave me a real life example to base my work on, namely to design a church building for his growing church Husbykyrkan.

The house above the dock is located by Hjälmare Docka in Arboga municipality and right next to Hjälmare canal. The assignment was to design a community hall and add an additional program based on location and analysis. The beautiful surroundings around the canal and the many well-preserved historical elements made me add a hotel and museum as I wanted more people to discover the place and its history. I chose to place the building above a dock where boats are stored during winter to be able to include the boats as part of the museum's exhibition but also so hotel guests can park their boat under the building and get directly to the hotel. Due to the location, the lower construction of the house is dimensioned to be able to accommodate all types of boats that can pass through the canal. The arch construction is made of steel and inspired by traditional tram halls while the upper house is made entirely of locally produced wood. / Huset på dockan ligger vid Hjälmare Docka i Arboga kommun och precis intill Hjälmare kanal. Uppgiften gick ut på att rita ett "folkets hus" och addera ett ytterligare program efter plats och analys. Det vackra omgivningarna kring kanalen och de många välbevarade historiska inslagen fick mig att lägga till ett hotell och museum då jag ville få fler att upptäcka platsen och dess historia. Jag valde att placera byggnaden ovanför en docka där man torrlägger båtar för att kunna inkludera båtarna som en del av museets utställning men också för att hotellgäster ska kunna anlägga med båt och ta sig direkt till hotellet. På grund av placeringen så är husets undre konstruktion dimensionerad efter att kunna rymma alla typer av båtar som kan passera i kanalen. Valvkonstruktionen är i stål och inspirerad av traditionella spårvagnshallar medans huset är byggt helt i lokalproducerat trä.

Em 1951, o arquiteto Le Corbusier foi convidado por seu amigo, o industrialista André Jaoul para projetar duas casas uma para ele e sua esposa e outra para a família de seu filho, no subúrbio de Paris. Devido ao orçamento reduzido, Le Corbusier adotou o uso de paredes portantes de tijolos, coberturas em abóbadas catalãs e vigas de concreto aparente. Estas escolhas definiram a estética brutalista do projeto e fizeram com que as Maisons Jaoul se tornassem conhecidas mundialmente. As Maisons Jaoul de certa forma parecem destoantes ao trabalho do arquiteto que ficou muito conhecido por ser austero, frio e racionalista, principalmente por suas obras nos anos 20. No entanto, um panorama na história da arquitetura corbusiana faz com que se tenha um entendimento desta solução brutalista. É possível perceber a evolução da arquitetura moderna de Le Corbusier desde o início de sua carreira, passando por diferentes fases onde o arquiteto acaba por ter um aumento de seu repertório e consequentemente uma evolução em sua arquitetura, que vai de encontro as mudanças sociais e econômicas da sociedade. As Maisons Jaoul assumiram um papel importante na carreira do arquiteto e serviram de exemplo e inspiração para diversos projetos ao redor do mundo. / In 1951 the architect Le Corbusier was invited by his friend, the industrialist André Jaoul to design two houses, one for him and his wife and another for the family of his son, in the a Paris suburb. Due to the reduced budget, Le Corbusier adopted the use of brick walls and roofs in Catalan vaults and exposed concrete. These choices defined the brutalist aesthetics of the project and made the Maisons Jaoul worldwide known. The Maisons Jaoul seem however disoriented to the work of the architect who was well known for being austere, cold and rationalist, mainly for his works in the 1920s. However, a panorama in the history of Corbusian architecture cause an understanding of this brutalist solution. It is possible to perceive the evolution of modern architecture of Le Corbusier from the beginning of his career, passing through different phases where the architect ends up having an increase of its repertoire and consequently an evolution that goes into the social and economic changes of society. Maisons Jaoul took an important role in the architect's career and served as an example and inspiration for several projects all around the world.

Le métro de Paris, exploité par la Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), compte aujourd’hui seize lignes et transporte environ 5 millions de passagers par jour. L’ensemble des infrastructures du métro est essentiellement souterrain et a été construit pour la plupart au début du XXe siècle. Environ 85% des tunnels sont composés d’une voûte en maçonnerie et de piédroits et radier en béton non armé. Certains de ces ouvrages présentent des pathologies de dégradation, notamment des fissures en clé de voûte et des discontinuités dans le contact tunnel-sol encaissant. Lors de travaux dans les tunnels ou à proximité, le comportement de la maçonnerie de la voûte est difficile à appréhender, d’une part parce que les matériaux constitutifs sont rarement étudiés de façon approfondie et d’autre part parce qu’il existe peu de modèles de calcul qui intègrent l’environnement particulier de ces tunnels. La thèse décrit un modèle de comportement permettant de représenter au mieux le comportement des voûtes en maçonnerie de tunnel. Ce modèle a été implanté dans un code de calcul par éléments finis, afin de pouvoir évaluer l’influence de travaux à proximité. Pour cela, un modèle existant dans la littérature a été choisi et adapté : le comportement des voûtes en maçonnerie est représenté par une loi de comportement qui combine une technique d’homogénéisation de la maçonnerie et une loi d’endommagement isotrope décrivant l’évolution des propriétés mécaniques des matériaux constitutifs, ce qui permet de reproduire de façon implicite le comportement non linéaire orthotrope de la voûte ; le comportement des piédroits et du radier est représenté par une loi d’endommagement isotrope. Le modèle proposé, implanté dans le code de calcul CESAR-LCPC, permet de reproduire le mécanisme de ruine d’un tunnel par la formation de rotules. Parallèlement au travail de modélisation, la thèse présente une campagne d’essais de laboratoire qui caractérise les matériaux constitutifs de la voûte et des piédroits et du radier, et qui donne la valeur des paramètres du modèle. Ces essais ont été réalisés sur des éprouvettes issues de carottes prélevées in situ. Enfin, le modèle numérique, alimenté par les caractéristiques mécaniques issues des essais en laboratoire, est utilisé pour simuler la réponse d’un tunnel en maçonnerie à des chargements appliqués à proximité. Cette modélisation a été conduite sur deux cas d’étude concernant le réseau du métro parisien / The Paris subway system, operated by the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP), has sixteen lines and carries about 5 million passengers daily. The infrastructure is mostly underground and was built predominantly in the early twentieth century. About 85% of the tunnels are built with a masonry vault and unreinforced concrete sidewalls and slab. Some of these structures show degradation pathologies, notably cracks at the crown of the tunnel and discontinuities at the tunnel – soil interface. When civil engineering works are carried out in the tunnels or nearby, the behavior of the masonry vault is difficult to predict, firstly because the constitutive materials of the tunnel are rarely thoroughly studied and secondly because there are few models that incorporate the particular behavior of these tunnels. The thesis describes a model that represents the behavior of the masonry tunnel vaults. This model was implemented in a finite element code in order to assess the influence of nearby engineering works. In the selected approach, an existing model was selected from the literature and adapted to our study: the behavior of the masonry vault is represented by the selected model that combines a homogenization technique for the masonry and an isotropic damage law describing the evolution of the mechanical properties of each component, thus reproducing implicitly the nonlinear orthotropic behavior of the vault; the behavior of the sidewalls and slab is represented by an isotropic damage law. The proposed model, implemented in the computer code CESAR-LCPC, reproduces the failure mechanism of a tunnel by the formation of hinges. Alongside the modeling work, a laboratory test campaign was undertaken to characterize the materials of the vault, sidewalls and slab, and to estimate the model parameters. These tests were carried out on specimens taken from cores extracted in situ. Finally, the numerical model, along with the characteristics obtained from laboratory testing, is used to simulate the response of a masonry tunnel subjected to loads applied nearby in two case studies on the Paris subway system

Henriksdalsskolan är en tvåparallellig F-6 skola belägen i Henriksdal. Skolans huvudentré är placerad på tomtens nordöstra hörn, nära busshållplatser och saltsjöbanans station. Huvudbyggnaden med alla hemvister och administrationen ligger längst i norr, för att inte skugga resten av skolgården. Resten av byggnadskroppen har baksidan mot vägen, samt öppnar upp sig mot skolgården. Den långa passagen mynnar ut i gymnastiksalen, vars konstruktion är inspirerad av ”gaussian vaults”, en valvkonstruktion som utvecklades av Eladio Dieste. Likt resten av byggnaderna är gymnastiksalen byggd i tegel, och de välvda och krökta formerna förstärker teglets materialitet.    Med en igenkännbar gestalt kan skolan annonsera sig till närområdet som en välkomnande och offentlig byggnad. Det högre tornet utgörs av en skorsten och en eldstad. Dels skapar eldstaden som är belägen i galleriet ett mervärde som samlingsplats, dels förbinds det nya med platsens industrihistoria och bildar ett landmärke. / The Henriksdal school is situated in Henriksdal, south Stockholm. It has two parallel classe from preschool to 6th grade. The school’s main entrance is located in the north east corner of the site, close to public transport points. The main building, which houses all the home units and administration is situatied in the north, in order to not shadow the school yard. The connecting building volume has its back towards the road and opens up towards the school yard. The long passage leads to the gym hall, which is inspired by “gaussian vaults”, a vault construction developed by Eladio Dieste. Like the rest of the buildings, the gym hall is built in bricks. The curved walls enhances the texture of the building material.   With a recognizeable silhouette the school has a precense as a welcoming and public building. The highest tower is a chimney and fireplace. The fireplace, which is located in the gallery creates a welcoming atmosphere and a meeting point. The chimney also conncets to the industrial history of the surrounding area and works as a landmark.
