Väg 225 skär genom landskapet strax söder om Ösmo, Nynäshamn kommun. Det resulterar i att hela naturområdet kring sjöarna Västra och Östra Styran blir svårtillgängligt. Jag har velat utnyttja det svårtillgängliga genom att planera för en plats som vänder sig mot sig själv, och bort från omgivningen, för att skapa en eskapism. En engelsk park utgör den första verklighetsflykten och leder besökaren fram till huset för folket, parkens slott. Mötet med byggnaden blir den andra flykten, där portalen leder från parken in till innergården. Precis som parken, vänder sig huset mot sig självt, bort från parken. Brytpunkten mellan parken och huset utgörs av den östra portalen och förstärks av ett skifte i fasadmaterial. På utsidan är fasaden i kolmårdsmarmor och röd ölandssten, och på insidan i sandsten. Den tredje och sista flykten är aktiviteterna som utförs i huset: musicerande, dansande, framträdande och kulturåskådning. Byggnaden huserar en filial till kulturskolans musikverksamhet, nya lokaler till Ösmos dansskola, offentliga mötesrum och en stor teater i scenstorlekskategori blå enligt Riksteaterns krav. / Road 225 cuts through the landscape just south of Ösmo, Nynäshamn. As a consequence the nature area around the two lakes Västra and Östra Styran become difficult to access. My aim has been to embrace the situation. Instead of trying to connect Ösmo with the nature area, I wanted to reinforce the isolated location, to create a space of escapism. The visitor first escapes into the English garden which leads to the house of the people, the garden’s castle. The second escape unfolds when entering the east portal, which is emphasised by a change in façade material, from green Kolmårdsmarmor and red Ölandssten to white sandstone. The third escape is constituted by the activities performed in the building: dancing, playing music, performing and engaging in culture. In terms of facilities, the building accommodates new premises for the Dance Studio of Ösmo, a subsidiary to the municipal Music School, public co-working spaces and a theatre with blue classification according to the requirements of Riksteatern.

This thesis deals with designing a business plan for the establishment of dance studio providing a diverse range of the many kinds of acrobatics lessons. The company is a rather minor character breakdown by size of enterprise. The work is divided into three parts. In the theoretical section - the theoretical basis for second part is explained and that is analysis of the current state and next is design part.

Креативное мышление, как навык будущего, имеет ценность в бизнесе, науке, культуре, искусстве, политике – во всех динамичных жизненных областях, где развита конкуренция. Несмотря на то, что у многих людей есть врожденная предрасположенность к креативному мышлению, этот навык связан с особенностями психики человека, поэтому его можно развить у любого человека, т.к. психика человека подвижна и изменчива. Для достижения цели в рамках диссертационного исследования были определены: особенности развития креативного мышления у молодежи и методы его стимулирования и уровня развития, потенциальные возможности танцевального творчества как формы развития креативного мышления, со-временное состояние и перспективы развития Студии, в том числе с использованием методов конъектурного анализа рынка креативной индустрии Екатеринбурга, а также определены и апробированы новые технологии развития творческого потенциала личности на базе танцевальной Студии. В первой главе представлено теоретическое исследование социокультурного портрета молодежи Свердловской области, навыков будущего и креативного мышления как навыка будущего. Во второй главе диссертационной работы представлены теоретическое исследование танца и его потенциал для развития личности, результаты эмпирического исследования о современном состоянии танцевальной индустрии в регионе и результаты эмпирического социологического исследования клиентов, родителей и педагогов организации «Forsage dance school». По итогам эмпирического исследования и анализа методов выявления и формирования креативного мышления, разработаны и внедрены новые технологии работы Студии. / Creative thinking, as a skill of the future, has value in business, science, culture, art, politics – in all dynamic areas of life where competition is developed. Despite the fact that many people have an innate predisposition to creative thinking, this skill is associated with the peculiarities of the human psyche, so it can be developed in any person, because the human psyche is mobile and changeable. To achieve the goal, within the framework of the dissertation research, the following were identified: features of the development of creative thinking among young people and methods of stimulating it and the level of development, the potential possibilities of dance creativity as a form of development of creative thinking, the current state and prospects for the development of the Studio, including using methods of conjectural analysis of the Yekaterinburg creative industry market, and also identified and new technologies for the development of the creative potential of the individual on the basis of a dance studio have been tested. The first chapter presents a theoretical study of the socio-cultural portrait of the youth of the Sverdlovsk region, the skills of the future and creative thinking as a skill of the future. The second chapter of the dissertation presents a theoretical study of dance and its potential for personal development, the results of an empirical study on the current state of the dance industry in the region and the results of an empirical sociological study of clients, parents and teachers of the organization "Forsage dance school". Based on the results of empirical research and analysis of methods for identifying and forming creative thinking, new technologies of the Studio have been developed and implemented.

My thesis is about transforming the Anacostia waterfront with a rhythmic approach to seamlessly integrate it into the overall fabric of Washington, D.C. My design involves establishing seasonal celebrations throughout the year, including a redbud festival, and zooming in, to craft a space that celebrates the rich dance culture of Anacostia. My thesis goal is to foster a celebratory atmosphere through an interconnected design that harmonizes with its environment. My research involves exploring the relationship between dance, architecture, and trees to create an experience that would be enjoyed by the community and to bring people to Anacostia, which has historically been a neglected part of the city. The Anacostia Redbud Festival will be the waterfront's own version of the Cherry Blossom Festival, it'll be an opportunity for a celebration of this Native tree and to increase the city's tree canopy. It's a transformative approach for the Anacostia Waterfront as a whole, and I'll be proposing an overall, rhythmic site plan to enhance the recreational experience there. Zooming in, I chose a particular portion from my overall site proposal to intervene and place my dance structure. My design approach has been to explore vertical elements along with trees to create structural movement to mimic dance. Jazz dance will be the foundation that my design will be based upon. I chose Jazz instead of Classic Ballet, which is universally known as the foundation of dance, to teach people that idea is euro-centric and neglects the history of other dance types. Jazz dance was invented by African slaves who shared it when they were brought to the U.S., they never codified it so white people took the chance to claim it for themselves. My design will be a celebration of Black culture and teach people who the true pioneers of Jazz dance are and how that's the true foundation of all dance. Approaching the design of my structure, the idea of having an inhabitable roof took precedence because it allows for the structure to seamlessly intertwine with the existing park. The inhabitable roofs are made from long ramps that bring you from the ground to a rooftop experience that reaches into the surrounding tree canopy. The rooftop also has different pockets where one can find platforms to perform on or to just relax on. This whole ramp structure sits on top a dance pavilion that houses a casual theater, dance studios, gallery spaces and a café, allowing people to also enjoy dance inside and outside, blurring the lines between architecture and landscape. Furthermore, the building is surrounded by small vertical poles that act as structural elements, as well as an important façade element for shading. The small poles are placed in a loose order to imitate a forest of trees. The ramps and orientation of the building give emphasis to the new 11th street bridge structure that will be coming to Anacostia and overall creating a vibrant park that encourages movement and celebrates true D.C. culture. / Master of Architecture / This work holds significant value in its ability to transform the Anacostia waterfront into a vibrant cultural hub. It brings together the community through seasonal celebrations and highlights the rich heritage of dance, particularly jazz dance, which is deeply rooted in African American culture. By challenging Euro-centric narratives and educating the public about the true origins of jazz dance, the project fosters a greater appreciation for diverse cultural contributions. The importance of this project lies in its potential to revitalize a historically neglected area, drawing visitors and investment to Anacostia. By enhancing the city's tree canopy and creating a unique cultural destination, the project contributes to environmental sustainability and urban beautification. The impact creates a dynamic recreational space that encourages physical activity and cultural engagement. The integration of architecture and nature offers an immersive experience that blurs the lines between architecture and nature, promoting a deeper connection to both. Ultimately, this project has the potential to transform the Anacostia waterfront into a celebrated part of Washington, D.C., enriching the lives of residents and visitors alike.

This thesis focuses on proposal of the potential future development direction of a company operating in the dance art or dance sport area. The theoretical part handles problematics of development and growth of the company and strategic management process including selected analytic methods within development planning. Analytic part contains identification of key (critical) factors within evaluation of existing situation of the company in the context of inside and outside environment. Suitable strategy for future company development aiming for fixing its position on the market including implementation activities and benefits from the proposals will be chosen based on evaluation of the results of performed analyzes.

Sedan ett antal år tillbaka väljer allt fler att bo i innerstaden med små barn. Det har skapat ett enormt behov av nya förskoleplatser. Den vanligaste lösningen har blivit paviljonger med tillfälligt bygglov där antalet moduler monteras efter behov.  Med denna flexibla möjlighet tycks dock barackerna ha kommit för att stanna och blir oftast något helt annat än den provisoriska lösning de en gång var ämnade för.   Ett annat problem som förskolan står inför är att maten inte tillagas på plats utan körs ut från storkök och levereras i värmeslådor. Det fungerar förvisso men den pedagogiska poängen går om intet.   Syftet med projektet har varit att rita ett dagis i Stockholms innerstad som med samutnyttjade funktioner ger ett flexibelt förslag. Till förskolan hör ett restaurangkök som också serverar en restaurang, öppen för allmänheten. Kvällstid används vissa av barnens lokaler till en dansstudio. Samutnyttjandet blir kärnan och drivkraften i projektet.   Tomten är belägen i ena hörnet av Tantolunden på Södermalm.  Den avgränsas av bilväg och tågspår samt stora nivåskillnader. Buller och trafikfaror är påtagliga. Samtidigt delar den norra sidan ett fantastiskt parkläge med den kulturmärkta Ekermanska malmgården som funnits flera hundra år på platsen.   Att bygga i park är kontroversiellt och byggnaden har därför fått som uppgift att tydliggöra platsen som i nuläget är svåranvänd. Med publika verksamheter mot Ringvägen blir den en destination istället för en passage. Med en förlängning av Ekermanska gårdens riktning definieras också parkrummets gräns. Volymen i sig omsluter en innergård som blir barnens trygga oas. / An increasing number of families with small children are now choosing to live in Stockholm’s inner city, which has led to a tremendous need for more pre-schools. The most common solution today is to use pavilions with temporary building permits where modules are assembled as required from time to time. As they provide such a flexible solution, these barracks are however often being used in a permanent manner, quite different from the interim solution they were once intended to be.   Another problem that pre-schools face is that the children’s food is not cooked on location, but is instead prepared in industrial kitchens and delivered to the pre-schools. Although this is a viable solution, it does not fulfill the intended educational objective. The purpose of this project has been to design a pre-school in Stockholm’s inner city which provides a flexible option due to co-usage features. The pre-school’s kitchen also caters a restaurant which is open to the public. In the evenings, part of the children's space is used as a dance studio. This co-usage of space and function becomes the core and driving force of the project.   The grounds of the pre-school are located in one corner of the park Tantolunden on Södermalm. One side of the grounds is adjacent to motor roads and railroad tracks and significant differences in level. Noise and traffic dangers are obvious. At the same time, the north side of the grounds shares an amazing park with the heritage listed Ekermanska malmgården which has existed at this site for centuries. Building in parks is controversial and the building has therefore been given the task of clarifying this site, which is currently difficult to use. By providing businesses open to the public along Ringvägen, it becomes a destination instead of merely a place of transit. By providing an extension of Ekermanska malmgården's direction, the boundaries of the park are also defined. The volume itself encloses a courtyard that becomes the children's safe haven.

Kindergarden - How can we create different synergies between different fields that they can benefit from each other? What different activities will suit the kindergarden? How will our perception of the kindergarden, of its need and function in society, change? In this Degree Project in Architecture I will be investigating the combination of the kindergarden together with a restaurant and a dance studio. I believe these activities will harmonize since they have overlapping benefits: We all eat, move and grow. With the new architectural activities in mind, I will further investigate the importance of the kindergarden as a part of society, more specifically our perception of what function it may, may not or could fill. I share the idea with a lot of authors, scientist that we are headed toward a society where children are kept too safe, thus minimising their chance to experience and learn to cope with a harsh reality when they grow up as adults. It's ok to get hurt to an extent, as long as they do not endanger their lives.
