Hope of the Remains : An exploration of the interior architect's role and responsibility in urban developmentHasselrot, Cornelia January 2022 (has links)
The project Hope of the Remains deals with urban development from a spatial design perspective, using the Lövholmen area in Stockholm as a starting point. The project’s purpose is to create a dialogue, to better understand and improve urban development. Also, to question what my responsibility with expertise in interior architecture is and to explore what resources the interior architect possesses. Lövholmen bears an industrial history while also having a prominent art and design identity. The issue at stake is whether to demolish or preserve remains of the industrial period. The project may be a way of appreciating historical values, questioning environmental imprints, but also creating a nesting spatial experience for people. Like how animals seek a smaller, comfortable, and safe space to settle down. And by that, I mean spaces for people to gather to work, have conversations, have a meal, or just stay in while reading a book, which is mostly the smaller existing spaces or the smaller newly built interior rooms. However, public space is important to be preserved within the future of Lövholmen as a residential area. To create a vibrant neighborhood with coexistential values. Hope of the Remains contains a concept and idea that are developed for the future of industrial properties that are currently empty. The idea is based on the property Nitrolack designed by the architects Nils Tesch and Lars Magnus Giertz for AB Wilh. Becker's paint factory, that was built in 1943-44. My master’s thesis investigates nesting as a phenomenon and its significance in these types of large spaces that hold qualities and challenges. How void and mass can be formed by color and shape. The project Hope of the Remains reflects our time, a debate about the urban growth and our responsibility for how we develop the city and how we can make use of remains, history and culture in the future. The design proposal is aimed to encourage commitment and interest. It is a way to create a conversation and inspire new visions for the development of Lövholmen and similar areas. The vision is intended to encourage dialogue. The design proposal within the project is a vision of a future in relation to what already exists on Lövholmen both historically, today and taking care of the industrial modernist remains for a new future. It is a way to increase the value of the existing structures, both a historical and environmental impact, but also the possibilities of the existing spaces as an asset for what can be developed here.
