Sammanfattning
More people are choosing to move from the metropolitan regions and it's
time to question the urban norm. Gävleborg, Jämtland and Värmland have
now more people moving to the regions than from, which is the first time
that this has happened in 20 years. This thesis is about rural residential
architecture and how development of rural housing can be affected by-,
and respond to an increasing interest in moving to the countryside. The
work examines how an increased move to the countryside can affect and
shape space and life inside the home and in the surrounding outdoor areas.
Through studies of current reference projects and in-depth interviews
with people who want to move to the countryside, a design proposal is
presented for a multi-family housing on a plot located in the municipality
of Gothenburg, Sweden. Different focus areas have been addressing issues
of land ownership, shared space, flexibility, and access to nature among
other things. Together with the architectural proposal the project reflects
on the need for new types of typologies in the rural settings as well as
how different factors in residential architecture can be lifted for further
development and challenge leading norms of rural housing.
