1	UPPROP NITROLACK - A conversion of two industrial buildings into a new public space for Lövholmen Vasquez, Pazcal January 2022 (has links) The former industrial area Called Lövholmen in Stockholm is in a state of transformation, it is about to open up to the public for the first time in over a hundred years. The idea from the municipality and the property owners is to develop a new housing area and a majority of the remaining buildings is planned to be demolished. The suggestion received a lot of criticism and has sparked local people to engage with the future of Lövholmen and an organisation was founded called FOCUS LÖVHOLMEN, UPPROP NITROLACK. When the demolition permit on Nitrolack factory was filed, Upprop Nitrolack started a petition to stop it and (together with other organisations and institutions) successfully appealed the permit for now. This project aims to explore the transformation of an existing structure, in an attempt to repurpose and reconfigure a structure in an ever-evolving urban context and to accept change as a part of creation. Two former industrial buildings in a typical post industrial site is set to be transformed into a new public space for Lövholmen. The project aims to discuss a series of questions: -How can Nitrolackfabriken and Förbandsfabriken be repurposed? -What spatial qualities can be achieved by engaging with existing structures? -How can architectural and historical qualities be preserved while transforming a place and adding new elements? -How can both change and preservation be considered simultaneously?

2	GIANT voice : An alternative destiny for city glitches Tang, Yuqing January 2024 (has links) My degree project aims to find an alternative destiny to the city glitches- the forgotten industrial buildings which are constantly being torn down. All the memories, the urban creatures that nest inside them, are considered disposable in city planning. The aim of this project is not to stop urban development but to create spaces where this endless force magically stops, a bubble of “utopia”, where the urban beings take their own time to flourish, undisturbed. I focus my project on the abandoned factory house Nitrolackfabriken in the southern part of Stockholm, a building threatened with demolition. I went through three stages in the design process: first background research, second a design proposal about turning the building into a functional culture house, and lastly landed on a design intervention where I gave up the previous culture house proposal, refused it on behave of the building itself, and gave the house back to what is already inside. I created three design interventions in this new part of the project: the garden, the pond, and the fire room. I see the building and all the small beings nesting inside as part of an intertwining relationship, a living being, a “GIANT.” I abstracted her into a human-like shape, wishing to create an emotional resonance between the GIANT and us. To remind us that we are all part of this complexity.
