Abstract
This thesis explores the potential for collaboration between architecture students and children in the creative process of architectural design, emphasizing how such partnerships can transform spaces and enrich the built environment. Drawing on research that explores interactions between architecture students and children, as well as by connecting my own memories of this area with those of the children who live there today, the study highlights the mutual benefits of this collaborative approach.

A case study of Tegelhuset in Rosengård, Malmö is conducted for this purpose.

This thesis explores the potential for collaboration between architecture students and children in the creative process of architectural design, emphasizing how such partnerships can transform spaces and enrich the built environment. Drawing on research that explores interactions between architecture students and children, as well as by connecting my own memories of this area with those of the children who live there today, the study highlights the mutual benefits of this collaborative approach.

A case study of Tegelhuset in Rosengård, Malmö is conducted for this purpose.
Tegelhuset is currently the only youth center in the area offering children a range of engaging activities and serving as a transitional space between school and home where they can socialize and grow. This thesis highlights the critical need to provide more child-friendly transitional spaces to children in order to foster socialization, growth and well-being through these spaces.

With Rosengård’s significant youth population, designing spaces that adapt to meet children’s needs has been a central focus of this thesis. Part of the process to design meaningful spaces for children required a shift in perspective to see the world through their lenses. Inspired by my past experiences of growing up in this area, combining the voices of children presently, this thesis proposes an adaptive design for current and future children.

The overall aim of this project is to develop a methodological strategy to increase citizen participation of an architectural design proposal, one that integrates methods for effectively communicating with children and involving them in the creative journey. By evaluating the outcomes of these methods, the goal is to translate their creations into a socially sustainable design proposal—developed for and with them. (Less)
