Abstract:
If you ask any person for his opinion about "miljonprogrammet", most would answer that it is the largest architectural failure in modern times. The housing shortage meant that numerous buildings had to be built quickly and the architecture was neglected. Today there is again a significant housing shortage, and the need to build many homes have quickly become a political priority issue. These homes should preferably be as cheap as possible. The risk is great that we in 50 years will view these buildings in a similar way that we look at the "miljonprogrammet" today. If we instead turn to the hou

I have zoomed in and out, cut and pasted, simplified and exaggerated my way through twelve shelf metres of Swedish architecture history. My ambition with this project has been to understand how Swedish architecture has been narrated in The Swedish Review of Architecture - tidskriften Arkitektur - during the 113 years the publication has existed. Has its "dramaturgy" changed and is this reflected in the development of Swedish design? Through using the architectural skills I have developed through my education, I was able to use the relatively simple, yet complex technique of photomontage as a m

Abstract:
In the real experience of a space, light and space are inseparable. Light describes the space, it’s shape and structure, as well as the space and its material tells about the nature of light. As described in Christian Norberg-Schulz’s work on housing, it is the architecture that makes the residence something more than the satisfaction of a practical need. According to Peter Zumthor, there is an interplay between sensory experiences, imagination and memory to create a certain atmosphere, and that we can quickly determine if the experienced atmosphere is something we like or not.

European modernist architectural design and urban planning for suburbs have often been theorized as dystopic creation myths.

The use of light has always been a vehicle of symbolic meaning and spiritual experience in religious spaces.

This thesis aims to study the role that light played in the designing of St: Eskilskyrkan church in Sweden, and the way it affected the perception of the architecture and its materials.
