Sammanfattning
Whether it’s a moment for yourself or
time spent with others, public baths should
be a space free from the hectic pace that
characterizes the city-life. Liljeholmsbadet
in Stockholm, a now closed public bath
built in the 1930’s, is presently discussed
to be demolished and rebuilt as a replica of
the original building. This thesis is offering
an alternative to the replica by exploring
how a new version of Liljeholmsbadet
can be designed with the ideals of today,
while still incorporating the values of the
original building.
The aim was to create a space for recovery
and increased social cohesion among
urbanites, within a building with a long
lifespan flexible to meet uncertain future
demands. Driven by a research by design
approach the final proposal was created
through model testing, analysis of built
references and studies of historical
examples of architecture around the
bathing ritual.
The resulting building consists of the
construction principle of a pillar and beam
grid, which allows for changing the layout
of the outer and inner walls without having
to change the load-carrying structure.
Standardized building components,
techniques and materials have been used
in order to promote replacement of parts
instead of building with a predestined
lifespan
