{"id":33,"count":20,"description":"In this year\u2019s Degree Exhibition, the students in the Bachelor\u2019s programme in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design present degree projects that move between history and future, between preservation and transformation. With a starting point in both archival material and contemporary needs, they examine how rooms, objects and architecture can be reinterpreted, shared and activated in new ways. <br><br>\r\n \r\nSeveral degree projects are based on what once was \u2013 from the documentation and translation of lost places to the design of the ruin as a possible future. Interpreting fragments of Stockholm\u2019s first theatre building leads to speculation on a future stage space for dance, while a medieval tower is examined as a contemporary residence. Museums\u2019 exhibition spaces are examined through norm-critical perspectives, and the role of the cinema is reinforced through spatial interventions that elevate the shared experience. <br><br>\r\n \r\nAs society changes, new needs for shared and flexible spaces arise. The students propose gathering places for flood-affected areas in southern Sweden, explore social sustainability in public spaces, and examine how agency and participation can be strengthened for young people in sparsely populated areas, or for individuals in institutional residential homes. By investigating the table and the collective meal, or the possibility of sharing a holiday cottage, the degree projects highlight how architecture and design can create conditions for solidarity and exchange. <br><br>\r\n \r\nFurniture and spatial objects become carriers of meaning through material, craft, queer semiotics and reformulated civic ceremonies. Questions are simultaneously raised about alternative forms of housing and sustainable resources \u2013 from tiny house areas to the reprogramming of a public bathhouse. Rest and recovery in the city\u2019s public spaces are examined, and through unprogrammed additions to unprogrammed spaces, places are proposed for spontaneity and change. The role of technology in design is also a recurring theme. <br><br>\r\n \r\nWith experimental methods and critical perspectives, the students open up new ways of shaping our shared surroundings \u2013 to preserve, reformulate, share and speculate on the future of spaces and objects. <br><br>\r\n\r\nBo Pilo<br>\r\nLecturer and programme co-ordinator, Interior Architecture and Furniture Design<br><br>\r\n\r\nChristian Bj\u00f6rk<br>\r\nSenior lecturer, Bachelor\u2019s programme in Interior Architecture and Furniture Design","link":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/category\/bachelor\/ba-ia\/","name":"Interior Architecture and Furniture Design","slug":"ba-ia","taxonomy":"category","parent":30,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/33","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/30"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/konstfack2025.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=33"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
