NEIGHBORHOOD AS A LIVING ORGANISM
(2021) AAHM10 20211Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- To encounter the ambiguity of the contemporary understanding of neighborhood, we must fundamentally view the concept from a broad historical and global perspective. A neighborhood should be understood as an organism; this whole organism is alive, constantly changing, and its structure is fluid. The way people live and create community has changed with all the social and technological changes in the last century. This study intends to look for patterns in micro-behavior that evolve, shift, and emerge as macro-behavior. In this regard, it chooses the neighborhood scale as an understandable benchmark. The neighborhood changes like a dynamic organism depending on how people interact with it.
The project explores new strategies as a necessity...

A neighborhood should be understood as an organism; this whole organism is alive, constantly changing, and its structure is fluid. The way people live and create community has changed with all the social and technological changes in the last century. This study intends to look for patterns in micro-behavior that evolve, shift, and emerge as macro-behavior. In this regard, it chooses the neighborhood scale as an understandable benchmark. The neighborhood changes like a dynamic organism depending on how people interact with it.
The project explores new strategies as a necessity for shaping future neighborhoods in territories between rural and urban, aiming to increase individual responsibility by providing more opportunities for negotiation. Neighborhood is seen as an incentive process leading to self-organized collaboration and participation of residents. Case study methodology is used to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted understanding of the complexity. However, the approach is not intended to be overly solution-oriented or context-specific but develops principles to relate the topic to other similar contexts. Scandinavian cities are stimulating when considering settlement patterns because large tracts of land predominantly surround them. The study focuses on southern Sweden and looks specifically at the city of Lund. In Skåne, the primary structure that connects it to its history is the act of farming, which has remained active for many years. As Lund grows, how can it adapt to agricultural conditions without destroying the surrounding farmland entirely?
The proposal presents a morphological and pattern design intervention as its technique to enable new forms of experience, dialog, and awareness about the design of future neighborhoods. The design intervention is used as a placeholder concept that allows for the exploration of further alternatives. (Less)
