- PostA Descriptive Study of How a BREEAM Certification Affects a Construction Company on a Project Level(2013) Lee Källman, Lisa; Lundqvist, Stina; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknik; Chalmers University of Technology / Department of Civil and Environmental EngineeringThe construction business is strongly affected by the emerging environmental trends and the increased demand for sustainable solutions and environmentally friendly alternatives. One result of the green trend is the emergence and spread of a variety of systems to measure the sustainability of buildings. Environmental certifications could today be seen as a market demand rather than an option. This has put pressure on not the least construction companies, which are forced to adjust their business to meet the new demands. There are few studies that address how environmental certification systems affect the project processes in a BREEAM certified project. All of NCC Property Developments proprietary commercial properties are since 2009 certified in accordance to BREEAM. A few years after the first projects were initiated, NCC seek further understanding of the impact BREEAM has had on projects in which a certification have been made. On behalf of NCC the authors of this thesis thus conducted an investigation of the first generation of BREEAM certified projects at NCC in Sweden. The purpose of the study was to find an optimal process design. The aim is for the thesis to function as a support in the planning and implementation of future BREEAM certifications at NCC. The results are based on data compiled from a conducted survey in eight projects and semi-structured interviews carried out in three of these projects. Information and experiences from on-going projects have thus been documented and will now be available as a support for following projects. An in-depth analysis of the results has resulted in the identification of four success factors: An early introduction of BREEAM in the process, Spreading the knowledge about BREEAM out in the project, It will get better in time and Designate a person responsible for BREEAM issues. These factors provide an opportunity for future projects to explore and evaluate what factors they wish to take into consideration given their projects specific properties. The main conclusion drawn from the study is that most of the issues and concerns about BREEAM seem to be connected to broader business issues, rather than being specifically connected to BREEAM. Although no process and organizational structure applicable for all BREEAM certified project could be found, the knowledge gathered and presented in this thesis could still serve as a information resource in future certification processes.

- PostAdaptable Design for the HSB Living Lab - flexible, co-created spaces in student housingg(2014) Hagy, Shea; Balay, Paul; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur; Chalmers University of Technology / Department of ArchitectureThis thesis aims to provide a collection of materials for use as a resource to catalyse the creation and design of the HSB Living Lab. The HSB living lab is an on-going project for the creation of a ‘living laboratory’ that will take the form of student-housing and be built in the coming year on the Johanneberg campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Information and materials included in this report were collected through stakeholder interviews and literature review. Throughout this work key elements of the HSB Living Lab project are presented and discussed including organisational structure, the concepts of innovation, co-creation and adaptability as well as the potential research and stakeholder prerequisites that may impact the building design. This thesis contributes to the general reflection around the HSB Living Lab by proposing both concrete design solutions and laying out a framework for design. The specific needs of the stakeholders have shaped the methodology and approach to design, resulting in adaptable design solutions for the HSB Living Lab infrastructure.

- PostAdaptive capability: lengthen the lifespan of buildings already in the design phase(2021) Geber, Rebecka; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Femenias, Paula; Helmfridsson, JohnA large part of the built environment ends up having a much shorter life span than the buildings have potential for due to changed requirements regarding function, appearance or qualities. To demolish and replace with new, instead of using the existing structures, results in unnecessary use of energy, materials and a negative impact on the environment. For a long-term sustainability within architecture, it is essential to consider the whole life cycle of buildings already when they are designed. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the possibility to design buildings prepared to easily be changed and transformed in the future to meet new circumstances with simple methods and as little environmental impact as possible. Adaptable design based on analysis of the chosen context, the area Rosendal in Uppsala, and the demands of the inhabitants, is explored. Design strategies developed from theory, case studies and analysis of the local context work as a theoretical framework that underlays the design concept. By mainly using a research by design approach, a design proposal of a building is developed through iterations. In consideration of the future perspective, scenario planning is applied and a storyline for a possible development of the area Rosendal is created. The impact of changed requirements causes the designed building to be expanded and transformed to host exchanged functions, which can be done due to preparations implemented in the initial design. The proposal consists of three steps of the building design. The thesis challenges the way of viewing buildings as out of date and promotes the approach of treating them as units, not only of materials, but also of time. Through the design proposal, the thesis demonstrates the implementation of context-based adaptability in the initial architectural design, as a sustainable approach to lengthen the lifespan of buildings.

- PostAfter dark: social-ecological public space from a darkness perspective(2022) Lindroth, Maja; Svensson, Matilda; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Marcus, Lars; Stavroulaki, Ioanna; Tarraso, JoaquimSustainable urban development calls for urban planning and design supporting both society and ecology; human and non-human species. We need to think of ecology in cities in order to move beyond the traditional human-centred development and reconnect to natural systems. Social-Ecological Urbanism sets the background to address this challenge; identifying the conflicts but also the synergies that emerge from the meeting of social and ecological systems. After Dark is a thesis based on the social-ecological approach, rethinking the increasing yet overlooked issue of urban darkness-lighting imbalance. Excessive use of artificial light, light pollution, has slowly replaced the starry dark sky with a gray haze and altered the natural rhythms of dark and light. This has detrimental effects on human well-being and nocturnal species. Values of darkness seems forgotten, despite Earth being dark 50% of the time. Theoretic research on both light pollution and the values of darkness has grown lately, however a lack of spatial translation beyond solely reducing excessive artificial light is evident. By shifting the perspective in planning and design from mitigating light pollution to focus on the values of darkness we aim to reintroduce darkness to our urban areas. The project is multiscalar - city, district & site, illustrating the challenges and opportunities of designing with darkness for humans and other species. The theoretic concept of a dark ecological network has been implemented into the context of Gothenburg. The dark network is particularly relevant since one of the most important native species in the region, the bat, is nocturnal. The potential for areas and corridors forming the network on city and district scale were found through data analysis observations. By overlaying data representations of systems in the city, synergies and conflicts between humans and bats are collected. A central development area with an intersection between an important and sensitive structure for nocturnal species and an attractive link for humans is explored in the site scale. The public space has a focus on the visual perception of space in darkness and illustrates the duality of social-ecological needs.
- PostAgora: Implementing wood into urban, public architecture for the culture of dialogue(2021) Kidron, Mathias; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Gross, Björn; Ekegren, MikaelIn the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, the heart of every city was the Agora or the Forum. Public spaces where people met, socialized, traded, got their news, discussed, debated and made decisions. Places where ideas, knowledge and goods were exchanged. Today, the format of these interactions have gone from analogue to digital. What once was a specific physical space is now available everywhere and anywhere, with both positive and negative consequences. With the degeneration of the public debate and discussion climate, along with polarization and threats towards freedom of speech, both digital and in real life, could architecture play a role in improving the state of these subjects?The aim of this master thesis project is to investigate how the antique forums and the modern internet forums and social media platforms could be combined and converted into a modern, wooden, free standing public building. Wood has for long been seen as a material for smaller scales such as villas, summerhouses or smaller apartment buildings. A material for cheap or rural projects. Stone on the other hand, has always been considered the public, urban material. A material that symbolizes the strength, wealth and robustness of the eternal city. Traditionally, free standing public buildings made out of stone were often inspired by the classical architecture of Rome and Greece. However, the origins of these classical orders has its roots in early archaic wooden architecture. The proposal strives to create a sustainable architecture, both in terms of architectural robustness as well as the use of sustainable materials. A wooden construction has therefore been chosen as the main material for the thesis investigation. With this in mind. How could wood be used to resurrect the lost typologies of ancient Rome and Greece. Furthermore, how could these classical references be translated into a contemporary, wooden, freestanding public building, made for the freedom of speech and the joy of conversing
- PostAgorena: toolbox and design suggestions of what the inclusive arena of the future may look like.(2021) Chiu, Seat Ni; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Adelfio, Marco; Da Cruz Brandao, EmilioThis thesis analyzes and discusses the social exclusion problems that occur with contemporary arenas. Further on, this thesis will present a toolbox and design suggestions for what the inclusive arena construction of the future may look like. During the 2000s, Sweden built a record number of arenas that demanded billions from taxpayers (Elvung & Öksuz, 2016, p. 55), which has aroused strong criticism. Despite this criticism, the planning and construction of future arenas continues, although almost all arenas have proved unprofitable (Sveriges Radio 2014). There are many reasons why these constructions continue, but the motive that is often used is that an arena creates value for the residents (Elvung & Öksuz, 2016, p. 66). A new arena means a greater range of experiences and access to community, which generates well-being. But who is the arena intended for? Who has access to the arena? The research hypothesis is that the arena is in several ways an excluding environment and there should be a more inclusive design where more target groups are allowed to benefit from the arena. Agora is the ancient Athens answer to the prevailing trend arena-block. A public square where different events could take place at the same time (Camp II, 2015, p. 10). With the help of well-defined zones and the lack of visual barriers, visitors to the Agora were able to participate in various events in an inclusive way (Sennett, 2016, p. 2). Contemporary arenas’ motives for continued construction reinforce the arguments for resuming the ancient Athenian way of designing public spaces. With the help of a toolbox, analysis of Gothenburg’s new arena proposals and the Athenian Agora, this thesis results in design proposals that invite more of the city’s residents to the arena
