    Abstract : A network of functionalist buildings and stadiums was originally designed for the 1940 Olympic games in Helsinki. Among these structures was the Rowing Stadium, which hosted the kayaking competition in 1952 after the games were postponed due to World War II. (Malmberg et al. READ MORE

  3. 2. Architecture of Reuse

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Sofia Elldin Mårtensson; [2022]
    Keywords : Återbruk; Reuse; Material reuse; Building component reuse; Reusage; Upcycling; Circular architecture; Cikulär arkitektur; Shearing layers; Lifecycles; Weathering; Design for disassembly; Ombyggnation; Transformation; Adaptive transformation; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : Exploring a prolonged life cycle of materials through an adaptive transformation Take, make and waste. Our society is trapped in a linear economic system where we extract raw materials, process them into products and as they have served their purpose they are reduced to waste. READ MORE

  4. 3. (Re)framing Daylight: A theoretical transformation of daylight approaches  in adaptive reuse architecture

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Miray Altındiş; [2022]
    Keywords : impact of daylight; historical values; openings; spatial perception; architectural form; reused architecture;

    Abstract : Adaptive reuse architecture is a multi-layered concept that tackles history, materials, memories, and structural concerns since it handles reusing an existing building and adapting a new function. Highlighting and preserving the characteristics of the old structure or revealing its muddied elements are important considerations for this architecture through its different categories of adaptive reuse methods.

  5. 4. Adaptive reuse of the vernacular log building

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Christine Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : vernacular architecture; log house; multi generational home; rammed earth; adaptive reuse; Sundborn; Dalarna; rural; log building;

    Abstract : This thesis project is an attempt to learn from vernacular building traditions when designing sustainable homes for families in a contemporary rural setting. My proposal is a multi-generational home consisting of reused old log houses, which would otherwise be torn down, joined together through a composition of local materials for new rammed earth structures.

  6. 5. Flux/ Lux: Modulating Light through Adaptive Reuse

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Isabella Robino; [2022]
    Keywords : glass recycling; module; urban recycling; adaptive reuse; refraction; experiential architecture; spatial recovery; recycling lab; catadores; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : How can we produce structural color through generative design to enhance the effects of natural light and refractive materials in urban recycling? This thesis explores how form be assembled to fabricate an ephemeral construction of volume and color. The objective of this research is to develop a system of glass modules that produce an immersive experience of light that transforms our spatial perception of the Trapiche Barnabé in Salvador, Brazil.
