Atlingbo Krukmakeri

- Abstract
- At the centre of Gotland is Atlingbo, a small agricultural community where the landscape is defined by fields, forests and pastures. On Gotland, where a majority of the residents live outside of urban areas, the rural economy thrives and small businesses can flourish. Potentially, craft professions are supported here despite the isolated location thanks to a high influx of tourists.
The project is a ceramic workshop next to an old teacher’s residence in Atlingbo. Nearby, there is a mixture of different building types, presenting a challenge: How do we design buildings that fit into a rural context?

The project is a ceramic workshop next to an old teacher’s residence in Atlingbo. Nearby, there is a mixture of different building types, presenting a challenge: How do we design buildings that fit into a rural context?
Contemporary architecture on Gotland seems to adhere to a certain style. The designs contain some elements from traditional local architecture, materials, and tectonics without necessarily copying it. There appears to be a common understanding of how to design with the context in mind.
In this project I’ve investigated the potential of critical regionalism as a design philosophy. Kenneth Frampton used the term critical regionalism in 1983 to describe architecture that did not subscribe to modernism, post-modernism, or regionalism. Critical regionalism aims to design in harmony with the local cultural and physical context. This while taking the materials and techniques used in the area into consideration, as well as the local climate conditions and topography.
The project has aimed to understand Gotland as a context and phenomenon, and the method has been design principles based on critical regionalism. It has also been about exploring the ceramicist’s process and the rural area’s potential for practicing craftsmanship. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Mitt på Gotland ligger Atlingbo, ett litet jordbrukssamhälle där landskapet definieras av åkrar, skog och hagar. På Gotland, där en majoritet av invånarna bor utanför tätorterna, finns en levande landsbygd där små företag kan blomstra. Hantverksyrken gynnas trots det isolerade läget tack vare en stor genomströmning av turister.
Projektet är en keramikverkstad intill den gamla lärarbostaden i Atlingbo. I närheten finns en blandning av olika byggnadstyper och det presenterar en utmaning: hur bygger man för att en byggnad ska passa in i en landsbygdskontext?
Om man ser till samtida hyllade projekt på Gotland tycks de följa en viss stil, de kopplar an till en traditionell lokal arkitektur, dess material och tektonik utan att för den...

Projektet är en keramikverkstad intill den gamla lärarbostaden i Atlingbo. I närheten finns en blandning av olika byggnadstyper och det presenterar en utmaning: hur bygger man för att en byggnad ska passa in i en landsbygdskontext?
Om man ser till samtida hyllade projekt på Gotland tycks de följa en viss stil, de kopplar an till en traditionell lokal arkitektur, dess material och tektonik utan att för den delen kopiera den. Det verkar finnas en gemensam uppfattning om hur man kan bygga för att ta hänsyn till kontexten.
I arbetet har jag undersökt potentialen hos kritisk regionalism som designfilosofi i ett examensarbete. Kenneth Frampton använde sig av kritisk regionalism som begrepp 1983 för att beskriva en arkitektur som varken anslöt sig till modernism, postmodernism eller regionalism. Kritisk regionalism syftar till att bygga i enighet med den lokala kulturella och fysiska kontexten: att ta hänsyn till de material och tekniker som används i området, samt de lokala klimatförhållandena och topografin.
Projektet har handlat om att förstå Gotland som kontext och metoden har varit designprinciper som utgår från kritisk regionalism. Det har även handlat om att undersöka keramikerns process och landsbygdens potential för hantverket. (Less)
