Detta examensprojekt i inredningsarkitektur och möbeldesign på Konstfack, utforskar och utvecklar metoder för hur inredningsarkitektur kan gestaltas utifrån musik. Genom ett praktikbaserat undersökande analyseras subjektiva upplevelser av musik, vilka beståndsdelar som finns och hur musiken är uppbyggd. Ett undersökande som skapar ramar för inredningsarkitekten att förhålla sig till i en gestaltningsprocess. Inte som en begränsning, utan som ett gränssnitt som välkomnar alternativa arbetssätt och undersöker nya gestaltningsmöjligheter. Utifrån ett utvalt musikstycke gestaltas en interiör översättning av musiken och upplevelser den genererar. Projektet itererar mellan musikteori, studier av subjektiva upplevelser och färg-, ljus- och materialutforskning. Resultatet blir ett förslag på metoder för att analysera och studera rumslighet i direkt relation till musik, men också ett konkret gestaltningsförslag utifrån denna metodutveckling. Ett exempel på en översättning av ett medium till ett annat, som i sig blir ett fristående verk. Rytm, mörker och ljus formar tillsammans en temporal upplevelse. Ett musikstycke blir till interiör i långt, smalt rum, där ljuset hamnar i fokus mellan två skikt av väggar, med inslag av överraskningar som visar sig i ljusfärg, ytfärg eller material. / This degree project in interior architecture and furniture design at Konstfack, explores and develops methods for how interior architecture can be designed based on music. Through practice-based studies, the project analyzes subjective experiences of music, which components that exist and how the music is structured. Studies that creates frames for the interior designer to relate to in a design process. Not as limitations, but as an interface that welcomes alternative ways of working and investigates new design possibilities. Based on a selected piece of music, a translation into interior is created of the music and experiences it generates. The project iterates between music theory, studies of subjective experiences and color, light and material exploration. The result is a proposal for methods created for analyzing and studying spatiality in relation to music, but also a design proposal based on this method development. An example of a translation of one medium into another, which in itself becomes an independent work. Rhythm, darkness and light form a temporal experience together. A piece of music becomes an interior in a long, narrow room, where the light comes into focus between two layers of walls, with elements of surprises represented in colored light, surface color or material.

The report Stockholm city’s regional biking plan presents information of a continuously rising numbers ofcyclists in central Stockholm. However, the central parts of Stockholm have not now, or in the near future,the capacity or structure to provide a functional as well as safe traffic situation, especially for cyclists. Theincreasing demand from traffic of the commuter street network in central Stockholm make the 6 km longunderground maintenance tunnel along the newly build Citybanan commuter train tracks a possible andinteresting alternative for safe, fast and easy bicycle travelling underneath Stockholm. The tunnel stretchesfrom Fatbursparken to Tomteboda, with exits/entrances along the route in central parts of Stockholm[Fig 1.]There are several examples in the world where former car, train and maintenance tunnels are used as bikingtunnels. The longest existing example is the Croix Rousse tunnel in Lyon, France (2013). A 1,3 km longtunnel with separate lanes for cyclists, pedestrians and commuter busses, which also functions as anevacuation tunnel to the parallel car tunnel. Another example is the Lugaritz-Morland bicycle tunnel in thecity of San Sebastian, Spain (2009), which is a former railway tunnel (850 metres) that connects twoneighbourhoods in the city.The specific conditions a tunnel have with no daylight and limited access, give the lighting designer theimportant task to shape the space using light.Light is the factor that makes us see the world, our visual ability is depending on the light. Light has theability to reveal and transform the character of a space and influence how the observer experiences thesituation, both physically (by vision) and psychologically (emotional experiences as comfort and feeling ofsafety). Therefore a good visual condition in public space, traffic as well as enclosed spaces like tunnels, arevery important and a basic need for humans in the city.The aim with this thesis was to develop a lighting strategy and proposal for the maintenance tunnel ofCitybanan in Stockholm, based on literature and case studies research, a full-scale light observation by areference group in a tunnel context as well as research by questionnaires. The primary purpose of the fullscalelight study was to confirm literature research hypotheses about the importance of light distributionand experienced spatial atmosphere in relation to psychological effects, as well as the importance of lightgiving information. Findings confirm and shows that light distribution have a great impact on how theobservers experience the space visually, as well as emotionally. Findings also show that light can influencepeople’s behaviour to intuitively slow down or be alert. Further this thesis results show that giving a spaceit’s own identity by collaboration between light, colour and architectural elements have a great impact onthe psychological experiences of a space regarding safety, comfort and social interaction, crucial factors in atunnel environment for cyclists.The thesis results in a concept presented in the Proposal chapter, based on design principles and a lightingstrategy where a combination of light typologies is used to create a human centred and comfortableenvironment. Light is used as guiding element and for spatial understanding to create comfort and supportsocial interaction. In addition the concept includes a theme used as inspiration in the lighting strategy tocreate a connection on a human scale between the cyclist and the space. The theme is based on a commonpreference of the reference group, as well as my personal, for the ideal dream biking environment;In the nature. Experiencing for example the variation of light filtered through the leaves, the sunset and theabsence of traffic.The aim with the proposal is to transform the tunnel to an attractive bicycle route for daily cyclists inStockholm, as well as being an interesting tourist attraction.- A large underground landmark and art piece stretching under the city of Stockholm.

Urbana miljöers komplexitet och rörelse kräver noga planerad ljussättning och omsorgsfull prioritering i samspelet mellan att lyfta fram viktiga element och lämna andra åt sidan. För att minska risken för överbelysning genom ljussättning av objekt med stor ljushetskontrast mot dess bakgrund bör alternativa metoder för att framhäva landmärken i stadsrum utredas. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur upplevelsen av mindre urbana landmärken påverkas av ljushetskontraster i dess bakgrund. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur landmärkenas bakgrundsbelysning utformas idag, samt hur framhävning av landmärken påverkas av ljuskontrasten i dess bakgrund. Genom att använda ljussättning av landmärkenas bakgrundsmiljö som ett verktyg, syftar studien till att bidra till att skapa en tydlig och lättförståelig orientering genom stadsmiljön under mörka timmar.  Studien genomfördes i tre delmoment genom ett fältexperiment, intervjuer och ett kvasi-experiment. Observation av utvalda urbana objekt och dess omgivning genomfördes i fältexperimentet. Detta följt av två semistrukturerade intervjuer kring ljusdesigners beaktningstagande av bakgrunden vid ljussättning av landmärken i urban miljö. Vid observation av studiens kvasi-experiment analyserades generella miljöer med olika bakgrundsprinciper i en iscensatt urban miljö.  Resultaten av studien visar att olika stort beaktningstagande tas angående ljussättningen av urbana objekts omgivning, beroende på tidigare erfarenhet av ljusplanering. Studiens kvasi-experiment visade att ljushetskontrasten mellan ett urbant objekt och dess bakgrund, tillsammans med ljushetskontraster och formen på ljusbilderna inom bakgrunden, påverkar hur objektet uppfattas. Resultaten indikerar att en ljussättning av en urban miljö, med hänsyn till ovanstående faktorer, har påverkan på upplevelsen av objekten i miljön. Då bakgrunden är ljussatt lågmält, symmetriskt och då hela bakgrunden är definierbar ges en uppfattning om den omgivande miljön, vilket gör att objektet framhävs. / The complexity and movement of urban environments require carefully planned lighting and prioritization in the interplay between highlighting important elements and leaving others aside. In order to reduce the risk of over-lighting by lighting objects with a large brightness contrast against their background, alternative methods for highlighting landmarks in urban spaces should be investigated. This thesis examines how the experience of smaller urban landmarks is affected by brightness contrasts in its background. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the background lighting of landmarks is designed and is being designed today, as well as how highlighting of landmarks is affected by the light contrast in its background. By using lighting of the landmarks background environment as a tool, the study aims to help create a clear and easy-to-understand orientation through the urban environment during dark hours.  The study was carried out in three phases through a field experiment, interviews and a final quasi-experiment. An observation of selected urban objects and their areas was carried out in the field experiment, followed by two semi-structured interviews regarding lighting designers consideration of the background when lighting landmarks in an urban environment. When observing the studys quasi-experiment, general environments with different background principles were analyzed in a staged urban environment.  The results of the study show that varying degrees of consideration are taken regarding the lighting of urban objects surroundings, depending on previous experience with lighting planning. The studys quasi-experiment showed that the brightness contrast between an urban object and its background, together with brightness contrasts and the shape of the light images within the background, affects how the object is perceived. The results indicate that the lighting of an urban environment, taking these factors into account, has an impact on the experience of the objects in the environment. When the background is lit softly, symmetrically, and when the entire background is definable, an idea of the surrounding environment is given, which makes the object emphasized.
