Project 2: Contemporary living Part 2 - The Specific House

During part two we will go further into the design of a housing typology in a diverse cluster in Årstafältet. Specific typologies within the net zero cluster will be developed and refined. We will discuss the relation between the individual building and the cluster in terms of programmatic needs, resource management (energy, water, waste, biology, ecosystems) and the life cycle of diverse activities within the building and the different building parts that are connected to these activities. Interdisciplinary working methods are essential in real practice and for finding new, sustainable solutions, therefore the project is organized in collaboration with Tina Karrbom Gustavsson, Kjartan Gudmundsson and professor Väino Tarandi at the “Building Technology” and “Project Management” departments, KTH ABE.

The result is planned to be exhibited in a large-scale model at Arbetets Museum, Norrköping in the exhibition “Framtidsland” that opens in May 2014.
