When arriving to a new city one can have a hard time finding a place to stay or overall feel lost and a lack of belonging; A problem which could be solved through architecture by providing young people in the same situation: a temporary home and friends to keep when moving out, also local events: inviting in established citizens already having a network in which they can take you in.My architectural solution follows three requirements which I’ve set: 1. Even though there is no land shortage, one should utilize existing urbanized spaces. 2. Leaving spaces for action, interaction and dwelling (instead of a maximized footprint for profit). 3. A balanced relation between private, public and community areas.The research leading up to this included advantages and disadvantages of skyscrapers, the basic human needs for fulfillment, recreational areas providing for it and lastly contemporary architectural projects that have accomplished such.To start off the design process of the studio project a central parking lot was selected to be transformed into an intersecting node of the city areas, creating a city network. After exploring possible mass-void and private-public configurations of the plot, the final variant was motivated by sun studies as it has the most sun exposure and least shadow. It was also the most fun, warm and welcoming form, where the curves move you on the plot. Lastly, the program consists of a mixed use of housing, common spaces and recreational areas, with different activities of differing scale.
