Abstract
The social public space is without a doubt one of the most important components that make up the city. These spaces are considered anchors of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction between people. But with advancing technology we are witnessing a change in the way humans interact with people becoming more private therefore resulting in an increasingly secluded society. Thus, the social public space has an even more important part to play in the development of urban environments. An effective tool in creating or reactivating public spaces has been proven to be food
Food connects people. Regardless of our backgrounds, the preparation and the enjoyment of food is something we all have in common. The... (More)

Food connects people. Regardless of our backgrounds, the preparation and the enjoyment of food is something we all have in common. The social component of the meal was the initial inspiration for this thesis. I was also interested in how the various stages of the food cycle have the potential to gather, inspire and educate people and how these functions can be incorporated in a new public space that revolves around food.
With this thesis project I aim to investigate how architecture and food
together can create a new social public place where the city, greenery and people can meet. Through the combination of urban agriculture, restaurant and marketplace, a new public space will emerge at the Karantänen site in Helsingborg. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Den sociala samlingsplatsen i staden är en av de absolut viktigaste komponenterna i uppbyggandet av urbana strukturer och skapandet av urbana miljöer. Offentliga platser är stadens vardagsrum. Här formas det kollektiva urbana livet och komplexa sociala interaktioner som är vitala för stadslivets existens. Men i takt med teknologins större påverkan i människans liv har vårt samhälle utvecklats åt det mer privata och avskilda. Den sociala samlingsplatsen har därmed idag en ännu viktigare roll att spela i utvecklingen av urbana miljöer. Ett effektivt verktyg för skapandet eller återaktiveringen av sociala samlingsplatser har visat sig vara mat.
Mat förenar människor. Oberoende av bakgrund så är förberedning och avnjutningen av mat något som... (More)
Den sociala samlingsplatsen i staden är en av de absolut viktigaste komponenterna i uppbyggandet av urbana strukturer och skapandet av urbana miljöer. Offentliga platser är stadens vardagsrum.

Ett effektivt verktyg för skapandet eller återaktiveringen av sociala samlingsplatser har visat sig vara mat.
Mat förenar människor. Oberoende av bakgrund så är förberedning och avnjutningen av mat något som vi alla har gemensamt. Den sociala faktorn kring mat var tidigt den drivande faktorn i detta examensarbete. Jag var speciellt intresserad av hur de olika momenten i matens kretslopp har potential att samla, inspirera och utbilda människor och vad detta kan leda till för arkitektonisk gestaltning i en social samlingsplats.
Målet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur arkitektur och mat tillsammans kan skapa en social samlingsplats där stad, grönska och människa kan mötas. Genom kombinationen av urbana jordbruk, restaurang och marknad ska ett nytt offentligt rum få växa fram på Karantänen i Helsingborg. (Less)
