Detta projekt handlar o att bygga sitt eget hem. För tillfället är majoriteten av de småhus som byggs i Sverige kataloghus. De konstrueras så billigt som möjligt för att passa så många som möjligt och kan anses vara en fortsättning av de typologier som utvecklades under egnahem-rörelsen, som i sin tur plockade mycket från svensk stugtradition. De har dock utvecklats och funnit form från huvudsakligen ekonomi och anpassning till byggregler istället för brukarens behov. Mitt mål har varit att utmana detta genom att rita en byggnad som är uppförd med traditionella tekniker som tittar längre bak i tiden, och som jag valt på andra kriterier såsom miljöpåverkan, inomhusklimat och möjlighet till expansion utan att behöva kassera material. Den färdiga byggnaden är förhoppningsvis möjlig att konstruera på egen hand, samtidigt som den är anpassad till brukarens behov och kan utvecklas i takt med att de behoven förändras. / This project is about the tradition of constructing your own home. At the moment, the majority of small houses built in sweden are catalogue-houses. They are constructed in the cheapest way possible and designed to suit as many as possible. They could be considered an evolution from the type houses of the early 20th century, evolved within, and from, the swedish building codes and regulations.  My aim was to challenge the status-quo by selecting building techniques not based on price or whats common practice at the moment, but to look further back in time and prioritizing living climate, eco-friendly construction and flexibility.  The finished building is hopefully possible to construct by yourself, suitable to ones needs and flexible enough to evolve as they do.

How can the unique legacy of the most ancient of civilizations be represented within a single building? How can one building spans the area between heaven and earth, the space described in the cosmology of our pharonic ancestors? Certainly, to design such a building is a unique challenge, and an unprecedented opportunity, on this most privileged of sites in the history of mankind, that a museum is to be constructed capable of linking the immemorial past with the distant future spanning both the horizons of the ancients and those as yet unseen. Through the investigation of phenomenology, geometry, simplicity, purity and light, listening to the voice of silence, emerging to the light from the darkness, and by understanding the strength of simplicity after passing through complexity, This thesis offers an endless stream of ideas that challenge the mind. The vision for the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is to establish a place where people from different nations and cultures will be able to immerse themselves in the rich culture heritage from more than 5.000 years of Egyptian civilization. With the support of new technology, more effective and efficient dissemination of information can be achieved, enabling the New Museum to be a source of enjoyable, entertaining, educational and cultural experiences for all visitors. This project aims at structuring a complex of exhibits and facilities, which will accommodate all Pharaonic periods, it will be the largest museum in the world, and will provide access to information and future knowledge. It results from the careful articulation of the problem and a subsequent ordering of constraints within the context of the competition proposal. / Master of Architecture
