Purpose: The purpose of this degree project was to redesign Härnösand's square called Stora Torget. Method: To complete this degree project, a literature study, case study, and analysis of various documents were performed. A site visit was accomplished and four different interviews with experts, and a survey for Härnösand residents was also done. Results: The results showed that a redesign of a square means a change. This change can be an upgrade of the square both visually and functionally. Physical elements such as seating and greenery affect the experience when visiting a square. There were some differences between the residents and experts in several opinions about how a square is designed best. The design proposal was developed with the help of Autodesk Revit, and the proposal has taken into account the opinions of both the experts and the residents of Härnösand. The proposal creates opportunities for a stronger meeting place but also a more well-utilized square for both residents and visitors, by implementing physical elements such as several seats where people can meet and socialize. Conclusions: The work concludes that physical elements affect the design of the square and that the design proposal can be a basis for future changes to the square.
