| dc.description.abstract | With a century of urbanization, centralization, city focus, cutbacks and depopulation in the countryside, a collaborative building & living movement is emerging in the countryside. A user-driven, self-initiated and self-organized, housing construction where the society takes matters into their own hands, together. The thesis explores collaborative building & living in theory and practice in an architectural and rural perspective. Concepts as collaborative housing, joint building ventures and ecovillages have been studied. Through literature, webinars and case studies the thesis collects knowledge from ongoing research. A collaboration with a growing ecovillage in the countryside and a house factory, specialized in collaborative building & living were implemented where practical experience has been explored. The thesis have studied how the ecovillage can grow in a co-creation process and how new multifamily dwellings can be designed for collaborative building & living. Collaborative building & living is about people in social collaboration during the entire construction phase and the housing phase. It shows that the process is as important as the final design. The design is a result of a co-creation process which affects and changes the role of the architect and the architectural process, in relation to what it looks like today. There are some common factors to consider regarding a design of multifamily dwellings which enable a more inclusive and affordable design. These factors are a design based on a basic design, sharing architecture and self-building to varying degrees. Except from these factors there is no universal solution of a design, there need to be many solutions. The design of our living environments needs to be adapted based on the local context, its prerequisites and the people living there, always. It is also important to consider change and development over time. Co-creation design contributes to diverse and qualitative designed living environments and enrich both the role of the architect and the end-users. We need each other, we grow together. | sv |
