Framtidens kongresshus
Stadsbyggnadsvisionen i Jönköping
Since a couple of decades the community of Jönköping has worked out an urban vision of how the city should be appropriated expanded. The prospect extends to around year 2040 and deals with the area south of lake Munksjön in Jönköping, Sweden. Today there is a proposal of how this would look like and what main public functions that should be located there. One issue in the so-called urban vision 2.0 indicates a congressional building. This report describes how such an object can be designed according to the urban vision conditions.The work is focused on three main themes;* Architectural concept and a modern form of expression.* A functional attractive congress building in a new planned town centre.* General concept of a realistic structure system that meet the spatial and architectural possibilities.Various concepts in the meeting industry and in the architecture field are identified in order to understand the concepts and ideas with today´s congress buildings. Through analysis of the study, the report shows how structure and architectureinteract in practice. Using this information, an architectural proposal and structure proposal is given. The result is a relative large congress building at the south shore of lake Munksjön. The shape is organic and inspired by the local vegetation and water environment. Physically, it is an eight-storey building with rather clear features on each storey. The main objective of the building´s function is rooms for meetings, for both private and formal occasions. The proposal allows for large gatherings and makes it possible for large and small activities at the same time in the building. Regard to the result of the structure analysis, the proposal should be technically feasible.
