Automobilpalatset i Jönköping, ritat av byggnadsingenjör Birger Lindström, uppfördes under åren 1929-1930 och var ett av de första parkeringshusen i Sverige. Förutom parkering fanns det utställningshallar och bilförsäljning, service och bensinstation-långt före bilismen var en del av folks vardag. Efter rivningshot byggnadsminnesmärktes huset år 2001.   Idag finns andra affärsverksamheter i gatuplan, resterande våningar står relativt tomma och mycket nedgånga. Automobilpalatset ägs av kommunen och det finns för närvarande ingen plan för förändring.   Jag vill i mitt förslag addera människan till Automobilpalatset. Stadsbilden och synen på bilen har förändrats sedan 1930. Det är inte rimligt i dagens samhälle att frånta en stadskärna den potential som Automobilpalatset besitter genom att förvanska byggnaden och låta den stå mestadels tom. Det känns inte heller längre modernt att parkera bilar i ett så kallat palats. Den unika arkitektur och kontext som man hittar i byggnaden borde istället till större del  öppnas upp för allmänheten. Att få ta del av dessa fantastiska rum skulle vara en upplevelse för besökaren och möjliggöra en mer levande attraktiv stadsbild.   Gatubilden under kvällen skulle förändras av att de stora fönstren äntligen fick lysa upp av de boende vilket skulle trygga platsen såväl som synliggöra huset på ett nytt sätt. Byggnadens komplexa uppbyggnad med split-level-plan skapar speciella situationer. Flexibilitet och robusthet liksom tydliga industrifunkisvärden i struktur, rymd och materialitet präglar huset. Utmaningen ligger bland annat i den djupa huskroppens stora mörka ytor och i det att väga mellan nytt och gammalt. / “Automobilpalatset” in Jönköping , designed by engineer Birger Lindstrom and built 1929-1930, was one of the first car parks in Sweden . In addition to parkingspace , there were showrooms and car sales , service and a petrol station - long before the car was a part of people's everyday lives. After threats of demolition the building was named a heritage, to be protected, in 2001.   Today, there is other business related spaces at street level , while the remaining floors are relatively empty and in very bad shape . Automobilpalatset is owned by the municipality and there is currently no plan for changes.   In my proposal I wan’t to add people to this place. Cityscape and the opinion of cars has changed since 1930. It is not reasonable in today's society to deprive a city center the potential that this buildning possesses by distorting the building and leaving it empty . It's no longer fashionable to park cars in a so-called palace. The unique architecture and context that one finds in the building ought instead to be opened up and public. To take part of this amazing place would be an experience for the visitor and allow for a more vibrant attractive cityscape. The large windows, finally lit up by residents, would change how the building is looked up-on. The building complex structures with a split-level-plan creates special situations. Flexibility and robustness as well as the industrustrial modernist values ​​in structure , space and materiality characterizes the house. The challenge in restoring it lies in the deep volume and large dark surfaces, and in balancing between new and old.

The automobile is undeniably an icon of our modern era. Decades of accommodating the automobile have dramatically transformed the shape and the quality of our physical environment. The typical suburban retail parking lot is one symptom of our automobile dependence. Frequently the proposed solutions to sprawl development tend to minimize the economic and marketing appeal of a large surface parking lot. For many communities, the anticipated economic benefit and convenience of a suburban retail development overcomes any reservations about the appearance and effect of the associated sea of asphalt. A more achievable design goal might be a pedestrian-oriented parking lot. Is that feasible? What present and future advantages might be gained? What would it be like? This thesis studies the typical commercial surface parking lot through observation and analysis, leading to the design of an infrastructural system of elements to develop pedestrian-oriented parking lots. / Master of Architecture

The cohouse is a smarter type of housing, where we can find solutions through sharing. It combines the home with the social meeting place, resembling an indoor/outdoor fusion. My intention with this project is to create a housing that is unfinished, a continuous project. Where the residents are encouraged to try other ways of living. Where the rooms are not only made up by walls but also created by the bodies of people, forever changing and rearranged - a continuous space.

This diploma thesis ,,Optimization of the parking plannig and calculation“ is focused to the problem of determining the number of parking spaces. The goal of this thesis is to update purpose units in the selected buildings and optimization of factors in calculating the parking spaces. The fírst part of work consist of compared calculation car parking spaces to the Czech standards with standards in other countries. The second part of work is focused of comparison of calculated parking places according to standards with real number of parking places. The last part of diploma thesis is concentrated to optimizing the reduction factors.

This diploma thesis presents the proposal of redesign of a confusing intersection in the municipality of Luže. It concerns Na Výsluní, Družstevní, K Chlumku, Kaštanka streets, as well as a traffic-important exit to Hamza´s specialist medical institution and a complete reconstruction, that includes also the increase in parking capacity in Andělská cesta Street. The thesis deals with a new design of the width of the roads, logical continuity of pavements, modification and a new layout of parking places in the vicinity of the Hamza´s medical institution, and finally with the modification of traffic-important exits and adjacent green vegetation.

In today’s situation new methods are constantly evolving in the construction industry where the sustainability of a construction is of utmost importance. Prefabricated concrete is a type material that is highly durable in terms of long life without producing damaging effects. As a result, the material has been used increasingly in the manufacture of construction. Construction industry is continuously developing, which means new ways to construct buildings. Within construction, usage of prefabricated concrete is a method that has become increasingly successful. With this method, the construction period is shortened considerably and the construction process will be more beneficial for the environment and the various safety aspects. This master thesis was written in cooperation with AB Strängbetong, is one of the largest companies in Sweden that uses prefabricated elements. The company has a concept called TempoDeck and is currently building a parking garage in Ullared, with the life with a life expectancy of 50 years, that is life class L50. The objective of the study was to check whether the construction work fulfilled the requirements of the standards. In addition, the purpose was also to investigate the possibility of a different type of facade design by reducing the height of the joists and beams. The thesis includes a literature review, a case study, an archive analysis as well as calculations with the Norwegian program E – bjelke. A guidance from AB Strängbetong has also been used. The results showed that the existing structure fulfilled the life class L50 according to the requirements. In addition, the results showed that it was aesthetically possible to modify the car park, to make it more appealing. However, it would be more profitable to keep the design as it is to the future constructions. / I dagsläget utvecklas ständigt nya metoder inom byggbranschen där hållbarheten i en konstruktion är av ytterst stor vikt. Betong är ett material som är mycket hållbart då det har en väldigt lång livslängd utan att det ger större skadeverkan. Detta resulterar i att materialet brukas allt mer i tillverkning av byggnationer. Byggnadsteknik är i kontinuerlig utveckling vilket medför nya sätt att uppföra byggnader. Byggverksamhet går mer och mer åt att använda prefabricerade betongelement, en byggmetod som har blivit allt mer framgångsrik. Med denna metod kan byggtiden kortas ner väsentligt, byggprocessen blir även hälsosammare för omgivningen och är bättre ur olika arbetsmiljöaspekter. Detta examensarbete skrevs i samarbete med AB Strängbetong som är ett av de största företagen i Sverige som använder sig av prefabricerade element. Företaget har ett koncept vid namn TempoDeck och har byggt ett parkeringshus med en förväntad livslängd på 50 år, det vill säga livslängdsklassen L50. Uppdraget som gavs var att kontrollera om denna byggnation klarade av kraven enligt normerna. Syftet var även att kunna utveckla en annan typ av fasadutformning genom att minska höjden på bjälklaget och balkar. Avgränsningen inom studien är att den endast gjorts på ett företag, AB Strängbetong, och fokuseras bara på parkeringshus med hänsyn till betongens täckskiktskrav. Examensarbetet fullföljdes genom inläsning av litteratur, fallstudie såsom arkivanalys och beräkningar, med det norska programmet E-bjelke, samt handledning från AB Strängbetong. Resultaten visade att den befintliga konstruktionen klarade av livslängdsklassen L50 med hänsyn till kraven. Det fanns även möjligheter till att estetiskt sätt ändra på parkeringshusets utseende, för att få den mer tilltalande. Det skulle dock vara mer ekonomiskt lönsamt att behålla utformningen som konceptet har till de framtida byggnationerna.

Liminal sites are those on the verge of change, between boundaries and in a temporary state of ambiguity. Throughout my practice as an architect I was aware of the existence of such spaces. I was also aware that they were rarely the product of my intentional design effort. Because of that to me these spaces were precious. They represent moments in space of ambiguous function and questionable beauty but also moments I sought out everyday. This masters research is my way of refocusing my practice to engage with these types of spaces. The sense that this search will take me outside of my understanding of architecture lead me to chose to undertake it as a masters in landscape architecture. My main research question is: How can a designer construct a liminal site? The research concentrates on four central themes - development of a definition of the term
