Abstract [en]
This thesis builds on my personal connection with Malmstens Linköpings University (MLU). First as a student of furniture conservation and later university adjunc in furniture culture. The project has three parts: an extension, a terraced sunken garden and a musueumbuilding. Malmstens extension is centered on masterstudio, atelié for furniture conservation, new CAD- and FAB-lab, extended storage rooms as well as annexing Carl Malmsten Archive to Campus Lidingö. Through lowering of the garden a receiding terrace gives way to sunlight and allows to transform an unused shaft into panoramic gallery, exhibiting journeyman pieces and thesis projects. Rendering a new residence for The Museum of Furniture Studies as part of the craft and design node on Lidingö, would contribute to the campus with a lecture hall, a reasearch room, a photo studio, its vast collection of 20th century design furniture and a restaurant. I have sought to investigate daylight conditions on the site and with the current detailed developmenty plan as a starting point developed a proposal for extending Malmstens Linköpings University. Beyond the mainframe I imagine repuropsing parking lot south-east from Malmstens for researchers lodges and student housing, raised above the parking level; craft worskhops, studios and offices for creative professions flanking Aga- and Larsbergsvägen in mind.
