Abstract [en]

During our lives, our needs are always changing, and often forcing us to change residence. A study made of peoples movement patterns in Sweden during the year 2021 showed that the main reason why we move is actually depending on family situation or other practical reasons. This can relate to a variety of different things like, an expanding or shrinking family, a child that is moving out, a desire for a working space at home and so on. What the scenarios have in common is that it is related to the architectural qualities and size of the residence. Which I have chosen to investigate further. With help of strategic design solutions I have designed a residential building where the architecture adapts to the inhabitant. The system is a modular apartment house that can be placed on a variety of sites and cities in Sweden and can be adapted all over the world. The apartments are built on a system of rotating walls that can expand and contract to different sizes. The rotating walls make it possible to adapt the space into five different sizes by only moving the walls 34 degrees.

Abstract [sv]

Under våra liv så förändras våra behov och kan ofta tvinga oss att byta bostad. En studie som undersöker människors rörelsemönster i Sverige under 2021 visade att den främsta anledningen till att vi flyttar beror på familjerelaterade orsaker eller andra praktiska skäl. Detta kan bero på en mängd olika saker som, en expanderande eller krympande familj, ett barn som flyttar ut, en önskan om en arbetsplats hemma och så vidare. Gemensamt för dessa scenarion är att det är relaterat till bostadens arkitektoniska kvaliteter och storlek. Vilket jag har valt att undersöka vidare. Med hjälp av strategiska designlösningar har jag ritat ett bostadshus där arkitekturen anpassar sig till invånarna. Systemet är ett modulärt hyreshus som kan placeras på en mängd olika platser och städer i Sverige och kan anpassas till hela världen. Lägenheterna är designade med hjälp av ett system av roterande väggar som kan expandera och dra ihop sig till olika storlekar. Detta gör det möjligt att anpassa utrymmet till fem olika storlekar genom att endast rotera väggarna 34 grader.
