Refraction

Center for water pollution

Naturrum in Limhamn, Malmo BA thesis project Spring 2020 Individual work This project has been created within the framework of the bachelor studio Architecture in the Contemporary. The course’s main design task was to create an architectural proposal for a Naturrum in Limhamn Limestone Quarry in Malmö. The project was developed with Agenda 2030 in strong correlation to the design process, with the target of exploring how design can be rooted in the urgency of environmental crisis. Refraction – Center for water pollution aims to create a new type of naturrum. The center will educate its visitors about the surrounding nature reserve and mainly its connections to water. In addition to this Refraction will be a place for learning about and address effects of water pollution, both in freshwater and the massive marine pollution. Water will be present in all parts of the building, so the visitor will be reminded of the purpose of the building even when not visiting the exhibitions. The main concept for Refraction has been to connect land and water, the building is a part of a path which connects two levels of the quarry. Due to this the building is sloping and varies a great deal in floor height. The ribbons open towards the quarry and offers the visitor a magnificent view of the surrounding nature, and the colour of the patinated copper reflects the light which enters the building and gives the interior a blue shimmer. The floors of the building dig into the cliff and has the same materiality as the surrounding landscape: limestone. The functional areas have been placed in the middle of the building in order to create a passage without directionality, for the visitor to choose which way they want to move during their visit.

Limhamn limestone quarry is an old, abandoned quarry in Malmö. The mining in the area began in 1866 and lasted until 1994. Due to the blasting technique used, the area has a distinguished shape, different from the surrounding area. The climate of the quarry differs from that of the surrounding environment and can be more like a continental one. In 2010 the municipality of Malmö decided to make the area into a nature reserve due to its special conditions regarding microclimate, wildlife and ground material. The presence of water in the quarry provides a range of different atmospheres from drippling waterfalls to creeks and small ponds. The water system in the quarry is complex and gives rise to special habitats. In addition to rainwater, and to a lesser extent, drainage water, there is a continuous supply of groundwater. The proximity to the Baltic sea (1km) leads to brackish water flowing into the quarry which creates a variation in salinity in the water system. The water gives a great value to the atmosphere of the quarry, both in vision and through the sound of rippling water.

CONNECTION WITH WATER

The building connects to water in two ways, one is through the existing creek and waterfall which passes by next to the building. The second connection is by leading water into the building through openings in the lowest parts of the roof. The water then flows along the copper walls and down into interior creeks which are created by carved wells in the floor. The water will be collected both from freshwater (rain), water which is pumped from the bottom of the quarry as well as water from the Baltic sea. The different types of water will affect the copper in order to give it different patina. In addition to this the exhibition will be presenting data regarding the water and how polluted it might be in comparison to freshwater and seawater around the globe. The exterior material of the building is also copper. The inspiration for this choice of material was how polluted rain affects the limestone in the quarry. As copper also responds to the pollution of the surrounding atmosphere. Depending on the levels of different acidic compounds in the rainwater and air the patina will vary in colour. As the copper turns turquoise it will pick up the colour of the water in the bottom of the quarry, which will make the building connect to its surroundings.

City Distillery

Gin distillery in Kirseberg, Malmö Year IV Spring 2021 Individual work This project has been created within the course Modernistic Architecture Renewal. The aim of this assignment was to transform one of the buildings in a former roundhouse site (Lokstallarna) in Kirseberg in Malmö, in order to attract new user groups and restore the values in the area. My project was to create a gin distillery and a restaurant in the old wheel workshop (Hjulverkstaden). The main idea for my project was to create a place which would attract a lot of new user groups to Hjulverkstaden and its surrounding area. In addition to creating a gin distillery and a bar I decided to create a restaurant, a spice garden with a greenhouse and an outdoor bar. Since Hjulverkstaden is in close connection to a lane which in the future will be a main passage between Kirseberg and the city center, the spice garden became a central part in attracting new users. The aim of the spice garden is to arouse curiosity of people passing by, in order for them to learn more about gin production or simply enjoy a cold drink or a bite to eat in the outdoor space. Large, glazed openings will also invite guests into the restaurant or visitor center of the building. A strong part of my project was to keep and restore the industrial character. This has been done by restoration in the original building as well as considering the values of the new industry which the distillery creates. The distillery is made visible with interior openings between the restaurant/bar area and the distillery. The interior space of the restaurant and the bar area are very flexible, as you can keep the space between them open or close them of with sliding walls. This will enable different types of activities.

In addition to the original values of the building the transformation of Hjulverkstaden will create new values. As the area become more vibrant, the social values of the area will be restored. By the changed functions and new user groups the area will hopefully be saved from demolition. The new functions will still be centered to craftmanship and industry, which will preserve the historical values of the site. The distillery will make the area more attractive which will increase the economic value of the area and surrounding buildings. Hjulverkstadens original expression has been kept while openings have been transformed to create a more cohesive character.

Insectum

Skyscraper for the insect population

Entry for Evolo Skyscraper Competition Year IV Fall 2020 Group work: Chloe Herbert, Tor Möller, Sofia Elldin This project was created within the framework of the course Advanced Architectual Design and the task was to submit a competition entry for the Evolo Skyscraper Competition 2021. The brief was to redefine skyscraper design and create a proposal which examines the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city. Recent studies have revealed that over 40% of global insect species are currently in decline. Threats such as agriculture and habitat loss have put significant pressure on fragile biological systems, and even rural landscapes are no longer suitable for many insects. Although urban environments do not offer satisfactory habitats to most species, insects have the advantage of being easier to accommodate in large numbers due to their small scale. The lack of pesticide use within cities, in addition to the diversity of native flower species, makes urban environments especially suitable for certain insect species. Many studies suggest that pollinators and bees better thrive in urban hotspots compared to some rural areas. By appropriating urban void space for insect habitats, it is possible to reintroduce more species and aid in the recovery of declining insect populations. Insectum will prove that humans can peacefully exist in symbiosis with insects; providing them with the space and resources needed to thrive and in turn looking out for our own future.

THE MODULE The module is 3D-printed out of filament which consists of clay mixed with pumice. The material will provide natural water drainage, nutrients for the soil and plants and a lightweight structure due to the low density. The module is covered with openings which lead to three different types of holes, a large one (A), a medium sized one (B) and a narrow one (C). Depending on the direction of the module these three holes can serve different functions in order to provide a variety of habitats for the insect species described below.

Butterflies and their habitat As a case study we have looked into the specific habitat requirements for the Large Blue Butterfly (d) and the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly (e) both native species in the UK. The Large Blue Butterfly is listed as endangered, while the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly is in a very rapid decline. The large blue lay their eggs on wild thyme (k) whereas the small tortoiseshell lay them on common nettle (j). The small tortoiseshell larvae spend their life on the nettle feeding on it until they reach pupation and transform into sexually matured adults. The Large

Blue depends on a certain species of red ants Myrmica Subulenti (g) as the caterpillar lives in red ants nests. As the adult butterflies of both species emerge they feed on nectar, like most butterflies and moths. To create habitats for these species it is important to plant wild thyme and common nettle, and to work with micro topography. To feed the red ants we have introduced aphids (h) and to limit the aphid abundance from becoming invasive we will introduce the 11-spot ladybeetle (f) which is native to the UK.

Insect hibernation During the colder months the activity in the insect scraper slows down. A few of the butterflies, such as the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly (e) settle down in autumn to overwinter in the bigger sheltered space where it is protected from the cold and wind. Honey bee (l) colonies live throughout the winter, actively keeping the nest warm and safe, whilst the bumble bee queens (m) nests

s.1

in the smaller solidary holes until the spring. Beetles such as the Rainbow Beetle (r) hibernate as fully grown larvea through the winter meanwhile the endangered Stag Beetle (s) species spend years of their life cycle in the soil as larvae, feeding on rotting wood chips - converting it into nutrients for the next season’s plants.

Bees and their habitats Bees are divided into two groups due to their living patterns, solitary or social bees. Solitary bees lay their eggs in an individual cell in a mixture of nectar and pollen, while social bees feed their larvae regularly while they grow. Solitary bees nest in the ground or in holes in wood. As a case study we have investigated the Shrill Carder Bee (m) a social bee which is endangered

in the UK. The shrill carder bees create their nests underground, whereas honey bee colonies (l) can create structures such as wax combs or larger hives. After the larval stage the bee reaches the pupation stage where it undergoes complete metamorphosis and turns into a fully emerged winged adult.

Low Coast Restaurant Project

Restaurant in West Harbour, Malmö Year I Spring 2017 Individual work Low Coast is the name of a restaurant project in central Malmö. The surrounding area called Västra Hamnen (west harbor) is partially an old shipyard. The shipyard is no longer in use, and the city of Malmö wishes to transform the area into a borough with housing, offices and a university. In this borough in development, a restaurant is well needed. The restaurant specializes in different types of sandwiches and aims to be a place to pick up breakfast on your way to work, have a lunch if you work in the neighborhood and brunching in the weekends. Or even a place to enjoy a cold beer on the outdoor seating facing west in the afternoon. The restaurant meets the waterfront climbing down from the quayside towards the water. It can take 60 guests indoors and approximately the same number outdoors. The Low Coast breaks up a long street alongside the water and invites you to move down towards the water.

ACCESS The serving space outdoors reaches down towards the water to make the water more accessible than it is today. Indoors the floorplan which I half a meter lower than the edge gives the guests a beautiful view of the old dock. The facade opens towards this view which brings in the light from south with large glass panels and a high ceiling. The glassed parts are covered with perforated steel on the upper parts to create shade on a sunny day.

The restaurant is availability adapted and is fully accessible for guests. The plan allows guests both to enter from the street, or to buy something on the go from an opening towards the street while passing by. Deliveries and garbage collection is made from an entrance on the eastern side of the building. The staff entrance is also placed on this side of the building, with access to a large bathroom with a shower and locker rooms.
