"Prehistoric Town Planning in Crete" was published in 1950 by Richard Hutchinson. He determined there was no evidence of town planning on Minoan Crete except for two instances. Hutchinson's approach compared the layout of the few excavated Minoan towns to other contemporary sites, such as Kahun, Egypt and Harrappa, India. These towns were laid out in grid-like squares, on flat, level ground. Compared to these sites the settlements on Crete appeared as an amalgamation of disorganized, organic growth. More than half a century has elapsed between Hutchinson's article and this study. Within that time many more Minoan sites and towns have been excavated and published. This greater corpus offers an opportunity to examine Minoan town planning with a new eye. This greater number of excavated Minoan towns allows for a study of town planning by comparing Minoan communities to one another. When an investigation is done comparing sites within Crete only, a pattern starts to emerge. To accomplish this analysis nine elements of Minoan town planning are defined, examined at individual sites, and compared among settlements. These nine elements are: 1. A street system adhering to the natural contours of the land 2. Buildings arranged in irregular, attached blocks defined by the street system 3. A large plateia or centrally located community court easily accessible from all parts of the town 4. Other open public spaces throughout the settlement 5. An elite building near the plateia 6. Public buildings in which there is no habitation 7. Semi-public buildings 8. Built fortifications 9. Extramural dependencies, which are structural features or natural areas outside the borders of the town proper but are an integral part of the community This comparison elucidates a very specific and existing type of Minoan town planning. It began at least as early as Early Minoan II and reached its apogee in Late Minoan I. What at first glance looks random, is not. Minoan towns were laid out within the constraints of the local landscape and with the desired aesthetic. The result was a lifestyle in LM I far beyond subsistence living.

Full textTrots stora ord om offentlig arkitektur med demokrati och allas lika värde i åtanke, anser jag att en framtidstro och en gemensam idé ofta kan saknas idag. I mitt arbete har jag därför bestämt mig för att undersöka hur ett stadshus kan användas som verktyg för att skapa en naturlig koppling mellan medborgare och myndighet. Kan formgivningen av ett stadshus bidra till att konstruera den demokratiska medborgaren? Kan politiken finna plats i det vardagliga livet? Min ambition har varit att konkretisera de idealistiska slagorden.Jag har tagit fram ett antal krav som det nya stadshuset i Nynäshamn skulle uppfylla:- Skapa ett stadshus med en öppen kulturarena i centrum där kommunen framstår som medborgarnas egna organisation snarare än en myndighet. Jag är övertygad om att den aspekten är minst lika viktig som ett funktionellt program eller en tilltalande design.- Ett stadshus som ger en inblick i myndighetens arbete. Politiken ska vara synlig och tillgänglig för den vanliga medborgaren.- En flexibel offentlig lösning som följer förändringens krav.- Ett tydligt program som ger en förståelse för byggnadens logik såväl interiört som exteriört.

Full textThe project is based on the ambition of creating a modern town hall building which enables increased interaction between the activities of the municipality and its citizens. The building is constructed by 30 concrete arches which forms the two building volumes. The building meets Stadshusplatsen in northwest and Floravägen in southeast. The curved form of the building creates openings at the site which facilitates pedestrians to move freely between and through the building thereby connecting Stadshusplatsen and Floravägen. The facade is covered by glass to create visibility for the citizens to look into the daily activities of the municipality administration. The facade elements are tilted between the arches and rotated in relation to each other. The roof is also being formed by tilted rectangular elements. The building is designed to meet the programme specific requirements with an ability to cope with changing demands by its open structure.

Full textLaugier’s Primitive Hut from 1755 depicts reason as a muse enthroned upon the ruins of the classical orders, pointing towards nature as a way forward. Similarly, in 1841 Joseph Paxton designed a glass conservatory at Chatsworth for the tropical Victoria regia water lily, which literally referenced the lily pad veins as structural system. This preoccupation with nature as a design generator continues in the 20th century with digital tools that derive architectural form using biomimicry, in the work of R & Sie. All these projects are based on a dialectic relationship between architecture and nature, where the particular model of nature is translated into form. This relationship in landscape architecture is discussed through the idea of the biomorphic. Applied as a guiding principle to investigate vegetation and plant form in the 17th Century Company’s Gardens arguing that the generation of the biomorphic can be adjusted to serve as a mechanism to understand plant form in terms of effect.

Full textMy proposal to the Town Hall in Strängnäs is based on an analysis of what a town hall is - and who it is accessible for. As a starting point I studied the basilica, whose function in the city I find interesting. As a town hall in the antique Rome it was used for many various purposes, such as legal negotiations and trade. The space that the basilica was in the city has almost no equivalent in the city today, where the only public and accessible spaces available are the streets and the squares. The Town Hall in Strängnäs is an interpretation of the basilica: an indoors square accessible to the citizens of Strängnäs. The plot of the Town Hall is next to Västervikstorget, which during the summers functions as a junction point for the social and cultural life of Strängnäs. The Town Hall becomes an extension of Västervikstorget and creates space for the motion and vivacity in the area throughout the year.

Full textStadshusplatsen in Nynäshamn is a square with good prerequisites to become an oasis for the citys inhabitants. Though today the current town hall, a low-rise building, closes the square towards the south. The old town hall has lost its function as a uniting building and together with Folkets Hus, they form a wall that blocks the sun and the view towards the sea. The assignment was to draw a proposal for a new town hall where the current town hall is situated and to explore how the new structure can relate to an adjacent high-rise building and create new dimensions and prerequisites to the square. First of all, I chose to create a passage between Folkets Hus and the new town hall. This to let the sun shine in on the square and create a connection between the square and what is today the back of the town hall but has potential of becoming a sunny meeting point for the citizens of Nynäshamn. To find ways to create a connection in terms of design between the high-rise building and my proposal I looked at the base floor of the high-rise building, which consists of a pillar arcade. Based on this arcade two grids, one primary and one secondary, arise and creates the conditions of the building both spatially and structurally. In the intersections of the two grids I’ve placed pillars, one larger and one smaller type, to define spatialities both outside and inside the building. The two different pillar types also help to define in which zone of the building you are located. The smaller pillars represent a more intimate zone and the larger ones the public zones. In the more intimate zone, two cores of service have been placed. Furthermore, no fixed walls are used but the rooms are defined by columns and three different wall types: a light wall, a flexible sliding wall and a movable fabric wall.

Full textTo collect data for this report a field study was performed at an orphanage in Cape Town, South Africa. I carried out volunteer work for eight weeks to find out more about the children’s situations. I wanted to find out what it was like to work at an orphanage for children in need and what the employees were doing to help. The children’s ages ranged from five to eighteen years old and they all lived together, although boys and girls slept in different rooms.
Before I went to South Africa, I thought that an orphanage was a place for children without parents, who had been abandoned when they where infants. Some of the children at the orphanage come from situations like this, but many of them have family who they need help and protection from. Their own parents cannot take care of them because of different social problems such as sexual abuse, drug abuse or poverty.
During the field study qualitative research was performed, where the people that I worked with and the children in the orphanage were participating. Observation was also included in my field work. The result of the field study was very interesting. The most important findings from my results were that all of the people I spoke to said that they would like to see some changes at the orphanage. They came up with plenty of different ideas to make the environment better. I interviewed five employees at the orphanage and all of them said that they would like to extend the amount of employees, have better communication among themselves, therapy sessions - and more weekend activities for the children. During this period of the field study I interviewed a lot of children of different ages, but out of the interviews six where used in this report.
