Center of Interactions as the answer to issue of loneliness
(2024) AAHM10 20241Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- Loneliness is something that impacts many of us. Being away from my home country and surrounded by people in a similar situation, I witness the issue of loneliness quite regularly. The challenge of making new friends arises due to cultural differences, a multitude of unfamiliar experiences and language barriers.
The project is located in Malmö, which is home to 186 nations making it a very diverse and multicultural city. Numerous studies show that many people find it easier to open up in front of a stranger, thus avoiding the feeling of being judged and gaining anonymity. Therefore, in my project, I explore the issue of the interaction of unknown people.

Welcome to the Center of Interaction, where you will experience a short adventure with others. This is a place for the socially open ones and those who want to observe others. The main part of the building can be accessed via an 'ice-breaking' staircase, which is the backbone of the whole establishment. From here, you can choose whether you want to have an intimate or public adventure, or mix both. Choose the „Intimate side” if you want to talk about your problems or find yourself in a safe, homely environment. Choose the „Public side” if you are open to meeting people at numerous activities, places where you can get lost for a while. Whatever you choose, I hope that at least for a moment you will feel that you are not alone here. (Less)
