JITTER The Humanization of Digital Manufacturing Despite mass productions success in providing most of its residents with adequate housing in a cost-effective way, it can be argued the monotony of mass housing loses some of the richness and individual diversity found in one-off villas or houses. The ability to customise on the mass scale can […]
⇨ ⇦ DIGITAL BORDERLANDS Examiner: Jonas LundbergSupervisor: Kengo SkorickMPARC Considering the ever-current discourse about the digital medium in the architectural field and beyond, there is still an apparent need to orient ourselves in an age of digital technology. How do we relate to the digital condition that remediates our experiences, reframes interactions, and looms over […]
download full thesis download abstract abstract We as humans have reached a time where amazement over our great technological achievements is obscured by the fear of ruining our planet. The building sector is faced with the challenge of building more than ever to sustain population growth, demographic changes and urbanization. It is time to rethink […]
IDLE SPACES FOR PAUSE IN A SOCIETY PACED BY CAPITALISM “Money is stored as architecture, and cities become dense accumulations of capital that in turn produce interests, power and opportunities.” (Mollard, 2019, p. 3) The top 100 cities of property investments, stand, 30% of the world’s GDP and 76 % of the world’s property investments, […]
“To design for all the senses: start with a blindfold.” – Bruce Mau The use of all five senses in architecture has been a topic discussed for some time. In the book The Eyes of the Skin Juhani Pallasmaa argues that vision is the dominant sense used in architectural design. Pallasmaa states that this visual […]

Design Proposal The design proposal results in the transformation of a parking garage in Gårda, Göteborg into a horticultural centre. The proposal holds a spatial richness created by both providing a sequence to move through the different spaces […]
Architecture is in an ambiguous relationship with customization and standardization. A work of architecture is most often tailored toward a specific program on a specific site for a specific user group. Yet the components of architecture, its building blocks, have increasingly been standardized since at least the industrial revolution, with a radical increase in the […]
Deep architecture Machine learning and the future of architecture This thesis explores the use and potential application of machine learning in the field of architecture. It aims to provide a framework for continued research as well as to explore and advance neural networks use in practical and conceptual stages of design processes. The primary goal […]
