Beläget i Göteborgs norra skärgård, ligger detta kallbadhus på pelare 40 meter ute i havet. Det är en plats för sociala interaktioner, vila och återhämtning. Med närvaron av havet och möjligheten till ett bastubad utvidgas badsäsongen till en helårsupplevelse. Min ambition är att skapa en plats som får människor att kliva i vattnet oavsett tid på året, oavsett ålder och oavsett väder. Under utvecklingen av detta projekt har jag fokuserat mycket på tekniska detaljer och material. Med återanvända fragment från den typiska sjöboden och materialval som trä och sten kommer denna byggnad att skapa en bekant och fridfull upplevelse för användaren. / Located in Gothenburg’s northern archipelago, this cold bath house sits on slim pillars 40 meters out in the ocean. It’s a place for social interactions, rest and recovery. With the presence of the sea and possibility of a sauna bath, the bathing season will be extended to a year-round experience. My ambition is to create a place that will make people enter the water whatever time of the year, whatever their age and whatever the weather. In the development of this project I’ve focused alot on the technical details and materials. With reused fragments from the typical boathouse and choice of materials such as wood and stone, this building will create a familiar and peaceful experience for the user.

This study investigates the meaning of the creative process within Bohus Stickning. With the use of Actor-Network-Theory in combination with Material Culture Theory, a framework of actors and networks has been made. By utilizing different forms of material and spoken sources, the study uses specifically tailored methods to make sure to unlock the pieces that, the material can bring to the puzzle. To give a contextualized answer to how and why the creative process took the form it did, the investigative part takes the form of a chronological presentation of the actors that played an important part for the creative process. The results of the studies have shown that Bohus Stickning’s founder and creative director, Emma Jakobsson’s background played a significant part in the direction of the company and its creative output. Her choice to lead Bohus Stickning towards a more modern approach close to the way continental fashion and art was produced, gave the organization a unique brand unlike anything else in Sweden at the time. Not only did their unique stans make Bohus Stickning a worldwide known brand, but also their level of quality, a result of highly competent staff, who worked within the company, made a big difference.
