This project consists of and is driven forwards by three forces: PART ONE is the Story Behind, the environmental and political part with problems like waste management, over-consumption, and extreme lack of student housing in the Stockholm region in spite of the politicians’ promises. SECOND PART is the Collecting of Waste that are at hand, showing how much MATERIALS, still fully usable, we just discard of and the investigation of these - with a little creativity and innovation finding strategies to use them in a NEW WAY in the context of architecture, questioning the perception of second-hand materials. AND THIRDLY - reaction! The practical part, a full-scale built proposal with which I tie together this project. As a response to our consumption-oriented society, I collected whatever thrown away material at hand right here on the architecture school. With this material and the strategies discovered, I constructed a small student dwelling on a forgotten and unused space on the architecture school’s roof, making a statement towards the disappointing development of the student housing situation. / Detta projekt består av och drivs framåt av tre krafter: DEL ETT - historien bakom, den politiska delen med fokus på miljö, såsom avfallshantering, överkonsumtion, samt den extrema bristen på studentbostäder i Stockholmsregionen trots politikernas löften. ANDRA DELEN - insamlande av avfallsmaterial till hands, som visar hur mycket MATERIAL (fortfarande fullt användbart) som vi slängs, samt undersökningen av dessa. Med lite kreativitet och innovation hitta strategier för att använda materialen på ett nytt sätt inom ramen för arkitektur. Ett ifrågasättande av uppfattningen av begagnade material. DEL TRE - reaktion! Den praktiska delen, ett fullskaligt byggt förslag som sammanfattar projektet. Som en respons på vårt konsumtionsstyrda samhälle samlade jag in slängda objekt till hands på arkitekturskolan. Med detta material och med de upptäckta strategierna konstruerade jag en liten studentbostad på en bortglömd och oanvänd plats på arkitekturskolans tak - ett statement mot den negativa situationen vad gäller studentboende i Stockholm.

Landsbygderna är en stor del av vårt samhälle och en resurs som kan bidra till en långsiktigt hållbar samhällsutveckling. Dock finns det rådande problem på landsbygderna som bland annat nedläggning av skolor och minskad kollektivtrafik. På senare tid har det börjat komma positiva initiativ på landsbygderna.  Arbetet syftar till att inspirera om landsbygd och samhälle genom att peka på positiva initiativ men också belysa de problem och hinder som finns på landsbygden. Arbetet genomförs i form av intervjuer och en fallstudie med tre stycken landsbygdsprojekt. I fallstudien undersöktes olika projekt och processer som ligger i tiden och hur de kan skapa en mer levande landsbygd. Resultatet visar att positiva initiativ tillsammans med processerna som ligger i tiden kan bidra till mer levande landsbygder. Landsbygdsprojekten i fallstuiden tillsammans med intervjuerna visar att det finns potential för hållbar samhällsutveckling på landsbygden. Resultatet visar också att de tre hållbarhetsdimensionerna berörs i de olika landsbygdsprojekten.  Slutsatserna som dragits baseras på det framkomna resultatet av både fallstudien och intervjuerna. Utifrån arbetet går det se att det finns flera faktorer såsom synergier, entreprenörskap och gräsrotsinnovationer som påverkar landsbygden positivt men också vad som kan bidra till en mer levande landsbygd. / The countryside is an important part of our society and a resource that can contribute to long-term sustainable development. However, there are prevailing problems in rural areas such as the closure of schools and reduced public transport. In recent times, there have been positive initiatives in rural areas.  The work aims to inspire about the countryside and society by pointing to positive initiatives but also highlighting the problems and obstacles that exist in the countryside. The work is carries out in the form of interviews and a case study with three rural projects. The case study examined various projects and processes that are in time and how they can creare a more vibrant countryside.  The results showed that positive initiatives together with the processes that lie in time can contribute to a more vibrant rural area. The rural projects in the case study together with the interviews show that there is potential for sustainable dimensions are affected in the various rural projects.  The conclusions drawn are based on the results obtained from both the case study and the interviews. Based on the work, it can be seen that there are several factors such as synergies, entrepreneurship and grassroots innovation that affect the countryside positively but also what can contribute to more vibrant countryside.

My thesis, "BMA (Bromma airport) / BEURA (Bromma experimental urban recycling association), an adaptive rebirth", explores the potential for an evolution of self-built circular inhabitation on the airport runway of Bromma through adaptive reuse and circular construction. The Bromma Airport in Stockholm is set to cease operation by 2038, leaving behind a vast expanse of infrastructure that could be repurposed for other uses. Instead of a late termination of the air traffic tenure, my proposal calls for the airport to be shut down immediately in favor of evolving dwellings on the site through community-based dynamic urban planning. This alternative plan for the future of Bromma Airport considers how the extensive flat surface of concrete that the runway provides can be utilized for slabs and foundations in circular construction and adaptive reuse for self-built dwellings.  My project aims to critique and challenge the current "housing as a commodity" discourse and argues for a greater qualitative approach to urban planning. Rather than focusing, for instance, on the number of dwellings, my proposal emphasizes the integration of different functions, community engagement, and the evolution of dwellings according to needs and supply/ability. By planning for a sustainable, community-focused inhabitation that prioritizes shared spaces and sustainable living practices, my proposal offers a model for future urban planning projects that prioritize qualitative measures beyond the obsolete urban planning trinity equilibrium of economic, social and ecological sustainability.
