Det offentliga rummets dragningskraft
En gestaltande fallstudie om offentliga rum i Hässleholm
The thesis is a case study that deals with public space based on how people use them. Public spaces are an important part of our city life and everyday life. Quality public spaces and places are due to its design and use, which are the primary aspects of this study. Hässleholm has been the location for the case study inventory items. Five different methods have been the basis for the study, and through them it has been possible to study what makes a room usable and unusable and what criteria is necessary for people to want to stay in the public rooms. The study concludes with a design proposal based on the results of all methods, where one of the inventoried rooms are selected, which needed to be developed to fulfill its function. The design proposal is based on empirical data on how a room can be designed for it to be perceived as public. The design proposal is presented through plans, sections, images and illustrations.
