A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Our large-scale post-war estates have historically often been subject to paradigms of obsolescence or change from, rather than caring attitudes and transformative processes seeking to enable change with. This thesis is essentially a typological exploration, seeking to address the matters of Studio RE – permanence, change, and resilience – in relation to the urban dimension of ‘the big plan’. Setting out to re-introduce 176 apartments, demolished in the mid-nineties, the ambition is to engage with the urban conditions of the chosen site: Hammarkullen, in outer Gothenburg. The proposed building (of buildings) draws on strategies found in a selection of European references, aiming for an addition that accepts (stubborn) decisions made before, but attempts to negotiate them in a non-radical manner.
