From global to local - Planetary Urbanisation at Kivik Art Center
(2022) ASBM01 20221Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- The Thesis project is taking place at Kivik Art Center, Sweden and it explores the concept of planetary urbanisation. The concept of Planetary Urbanisation has become vividly discussed and it is a topic that expands globally, therefore Kivik Art Center is the key place that offers global connection since it has developed a vibrant identity of art, with artists around the world exhibit their work there. Over my thesis I discuss the concept of planetary urbanisation and what it is, how it embraces setting bigger than megacities but setting over agriculture areas, wild landscapes and locality. Since planetary urbanisation it is a broad topic I break it down and I follow the path in global connectivity of regions.

The concept of Planetary Urbanisation has become vividly discussed and it is a topic that expands globally, therefore Kivik Art Center is the key place that offers global connection since it has developed a vibrant identity of art, with artists around the world exhibit their work there. Over my thesis I discuss the concept of planetary urbanisation and what it is, how it embraces setting bigger than megacities but setting over agriculture areas, wild landscapes and locality. Since planetary urbanisation it is a broad topic I break it down and I follow the path in global connectivity of regions.
During my thesis project there is a back-and-forth method in order to delve into planetary urbanisation on global scale, regional scale and local scale in order to investigate what Kivik Art Center offers on the site and the surroundings. In order to do so, I apply theories that will help me to define the usage of programs and amenities nearby the site and how those programs are connected to global scale and how we can emerge them in a local scale.
This theory is called Rational Thought model based on Burns and Kahn, and it defines three categories: an area of control which is KAC, the area of influence which are the amenities and programs nearby KAC, and lastly the area of effect which is the outcome. Finally, study and explore theories and methods so I create a concept that establish global connectivity of knowledge. A prototype of technological connections that will inform users visiting KAC on the amenities located nearby, and how those programs have connections globally. The purpose of my thesis is to create shared knowledge, to understand that footprints of the city are all over places, from big cities, to technology, and the urbanisation of lifestyles. (Less)
