Framtidens begravningsplatser : en historisk tillbakablick, dagssituationen och visioner för framtidens gestaltningsuttryck
The purpose of this article is partly to find out how
the burial grounds are used today and the needs of its
visitors, but also to develop the character and
expression of future burial grounds. My suggestions
focus on burial grounds without religious attributes;
something that, according to the burial law
(Begravningslagen, 1990:1144), the manager of the
burial ground is ordered to obey. In my design I aim to
fulfill any requests regarding the place of burial that
have been raised during my study.
I have chosen the history of burial grounds as my
starting point and will subsequently discuss their
significance in today's society. I describe what
distinguishes the burial ground throughout history
from medieval times and onwards. Tradition and
religion are closely linked regarding burial rituals.
När tågen slutat gå : förvandling av övergiven räls till publikt promenad- och parkstråk
Abandoned and unused railway structures often possess
great potential if they are reclaimed and reused for new
purposes. The thesis focuses on the global trend of
restoring and revitalizing these areas, converting them
into park areas, rail trails and green corridors in the city
landscape, while preserving their ecological, social, esthetic and historic values.
These rail areas were often abandoned when industries
moved out from the cities, either to industrial areas or
abroad. The use of railways for transporting industrial
goods was also replaced to a large extent my motorized
road vehicles in the mid 20th century, leaving the rails
under-utilized. Because of their location and intrinsic
values, they can be reused for important functions, such
as green areas in the city environment, providing space for
recreational activities and exercise and social meetings and
interactions.
I have closely investigated the three park areas High Line in New York, Promenade Plantée in Paris and Schöneberger
Südgelände in Berlin, which have all gone through this
transformation in recent years. I have summarized my
conclusions in three key concepts to consider: design for
social values, preserve the architectural history, and leave
room for future evolution.
The final part of my work is a design program for an
abandoned railways area in Stockholm: Eriksdal railway
area.
Cirkelformen i landskapet : funktionen och användningen av cirkelformen i landskapsplaneringen
The Circle is a strong form that influences the landscape. It also has symbolic value which influences our feelings and experiences. This Thesis project examines the Circles? characteristics and its significance in various connections. The goal of this Thesis is to examine what role the Circle plays in various situations and what motives there are for using it is landscape architecture.
The basis for this Thesis work is a proposal which has been drawn up for development of the rural area between the villages of Hofterup and Löddeköping in the municipality of Kävlinge.
