My project is based on the transformation of Liljeholmsbadet \u2013 a 1930s public bathhouse, currently closed and threatened by demolition \u2013 into a new municipal spa centered around public health, well-being, and sustainability. The new bathhouse draws on the historical character of the original site, but is reprogrammed to meet contemporary needs and future challenges.<\/p>\n
My vision is to create a space where people can find recovery in a calm and restorative environment. By offering a room in the city for both physical and mental relaxation \u2013 where the presence of water can act as a therapeutic element \u2013 the project responds to the growing need for accessible and meaningful spaces of well-being within an urban context.<\/p>\n
In this process, I have worked with cyanotype \u2013 an analog photographic technique that captures the imprint of objects through light and time. The cyanotype becomes a metaphor for the memory of the place: what once existed, what is fading, and what leaves a trace. Like blue watermarks in the architecture, the technique carries layers of history and presence, but also the ephemeral. By integrating cyanotype into the design \u2013 as surfaces, layers, or narrative elements \u2013 I aim to reveal the transient while giving form to the enduring.<\/p>\n
The future bathhouse, as envisioned in this thesis project, functions as a public spa with a strong focus on recovery and mental health. It is particularly directed toward individuals experiencing stress, exhaustion, or psychological fatigue. The ambition is to create a harmonious and safe space where rest, well-being, and human presence are placed at the core \u2013 a sanctuary within the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
