Abstract (Swedish)
Genom Bohuslän, mellan Strömstad och Göteborg, löper en järnväg. En järnväg som heter Bohusbanan. En järnväg som en gång i tiden var en symbol för framtidstro och utveckling. Banans praktfulla stationshus, de första som välkomnar en och den sista som vinkar adjö vid ett besök till en av de många orterna längs järnvägen, står idag som barriärer till samhällena de tillhör. Byggnaderna som en gång var öppna, offentliga, sociala platser som tillhörde medborgarna står idag slumrande, privata, och bortglömda.
Men historien om Bohusbanan behöver inte sluta här. Den optimism och framåtsträvan som en gång var synonymt med sträckan skulle kunna återskapas i en ny skepnad. Ett projekt som genom tågförbindelsen kan vara lika mycket lokalt som... (More)

Men historien om Bohusbanan behöver inte sluta här. Den optimism och framåtsträvan som en gång var synonymt med sträckan skulle kunna återskapas i en ny skepnad. Ett projekt som genom tågförbindelsen kan vara lika mycket lokalt som regionalt.
Målet med mitt examensarbete är att skapa ett projekt som kan agera som en katalysator i mindre orters utveckling längs Bohusbanan och skapa en ny identitet för järnvägen som kretsar kring samarbete, lärande och hantverk. Genom tillägg och transformationer i fem olika stationsområden samt själva järnvägen skapar jag Bohusbanans Hantverksskola. En idé om Bohusbanans framtid som är stor och omfattande i sin helhet, men som försöker vara hanterbar i skala för de specifika orterna. (Less)
Abstract
Through Bohuslän, between Strömstad and Gothenburg, runs a railway. A railway called Bohusbanan. A railway that was once a symbol of optimism and progress. The line’s grand station buildings—the first to welcome and the last to bid farewell to visitors of the many towns along the route—now stand as barriers to the communities they belong to. Buildings that were once open, public, social spaces owned by the citizens now lie dormant, private, and forgotten.
But the story of Bohusbanan does not have to end here. The optimism and forward-drive once synonymous with the line could be revived in a new shape. A project that, through the train connection, can be both local and regional in character.

The goal of my thesis work is to create a project that can act as a catalyst for the development of smaller towns along Bohusbanan and give the railway a new identity centered around collaboration, learning, and craftsmanship. Through additions and transformations at five different station areas as well as the railway itself, I am creating the Bohusbanan School of Craft. A vision for the future of the Bohusbanan—grand and comprehensive in its entirety, yet designed to be manageable in scale for the specific communities. (Less)
