According to SBC there will by 2026 be more children living in smaller municipalities than in the larger ones in Sweden as a whole. More families are moving from the city than to it. The suburbs are many people’s answers to this. Is the city perhaps more and more becoming a space we want to visit but not live in? Has the romantic idea of the rapid growing, fast pace, productive life of the city also become its fall? I have been researching the impact of the movement from the city. How this is reshaping our suburbs and smaller towns. Trying to answer questions such as: What is the ideal prototype of our suburban home? What lifestyle can the suburb provide? How can this home become the ideal space? My project is a site on Tynäsudden on the island of Hammarö in Värmland. A town which in recent years has grown dramatically. How do we maintain these suburbs to not become over clustered and mimic the city? The precariousness around us puts an even higher demand on the space that we surround ourselves with. Due to this I believe the spaces we create needs to be even more adaptable. There is a need for more temporary spaces that can be adjusted and act dependent on the demand. These spaces need to cater to both different stages and scenarios of life. In doing so we might find them more pleasant for longer but also through different periods of time.
