Priset är nationellt och bostadsforskare och lärare från
de fyra arkitektskolorna har valt ut ett exjobb från varje skola. Från dessa 4
projekt har en juryn bestående av lärare från
arkitektskolorna på KTH, CTH, Umeå och LTH valt ut en vinnare-
Priset
består av ett diplom och en prissumma på 15000kr för det vinnande förslaget. Juryn
ser de övriga nominerade förslagen som andrapristagare och de belönas med
3000kr vardera. Exjobbspriset är årligen återkommande och delas i samband CBA
bostadsdag i november.

Nominated master thesis project:
Title: SuperLine, a Framework for Domestic Urbanism
Student: Linnea
Johansson
UMA Arkitektskolan, Umeå
Tutors: Tonia Carless, Daniel Movilla Vega, Mette
Harder
Nomination
The master thesis proposes a new framework for
urbanism and housing architecture to be implemented in northern Sweden. Through
a housing proposal and a superstructure alike, the master thesis: a) expands
the notion of city as a spatial system in which architects design; b) offers a
site-specific mode of dwelling along the coastal territory of Västerbotten; c)
proposes a method of design for housing architecture and housing urbanism
through replicable spatial, tectonic, and experiential investigations; and d)
operates in contemporary forms of Swedish domesticity and displaces them, thus
proposing an own intellectual position in the architectural debate on housing
that is occurring in contemporary Sweden.
Title: Facades, more than a wall
Student: Elin
Holm

Nomination for 1 price
Elin Holms master thesis project explores the
façade as a spatial element -- a design tool that manages and improves the
spatial qualities, and the living environments inside the building, that takes
the façade as an instrument of fine tuning the criteria that orchestrate the
experience of space, such as sightlines through the living environment, influx
of different nuances of light and vistas.
Holms master thesis project
focusing on the facades of the residential building. From historical analysis of the development of the
façade, from the late 1800s until the 2020s, Holm develop four concepts
important for the architecture of the facade.: Spatial Extensions, Material
and details, Interface and Urban Atmosphere.
The
design tool is used by Holm in a design task – a residential building in the
district of Kvillebäcken. Partly as a tool in the sketching process and partly
as a description and justification of various design decisions. Holms has a
strong connection to the architecture of the home. It's clear, very consistent
and convincing.
The jury also sees Holm's work as an important contribution to the
ongoing discussion about facades and style. Holm's thesis clearly shows that
the façade is more than a style exercise. Holm highlights the knowledge of the
task of façade architecture, its complexity and role in the cityscape.
Title : AI :
Architects’ Inferiority?
Student: Aloys Victor Heitz
Lund University, Faculty of
Engineering
Tutors: Examiner Per-Johan Dahl, supervisor
Gediminas Kirdeikis
Nomination
Aloys
Heitz’s thesis ”AI : Architects’ Inferiority? An exploration of the creative
potential of machine learning algorithms” draws on a long trajectory – from
Palladio to Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry and beyond -- of using the residential
house as a tool for innovation within the discipline of architecture.
Departuing from a critical approach on the role of artificial intelligence (AI)
in architectural design process, Heitz takes the residential house as object of
inquiry to explore intersections between human and machine in the design of
high-quality and socially robust residential spaces. The project demonstrates
that architectural design can both critical and generative, expanding the
disciplinary context while, at the same time, producing a housing project with
high standards in spatial solutions, craft, and representation.
Title: Caring about a Legacy of Care:
Hökarängen
Student: Mark
Gavigan
KTH,
arkitektskolan, Stockholm
Supervisors
Frida Rosenberg och Erik Stenberg
Nomination
The thesis proposes a careful method of recharging
and densifying a suburban district from the 1940’s in general and,
specifically, manages the thorny issue how to add on to the tower block
typology without destroying its architectural qualities. The project is a
critique of the current practices of promoting and providing housing that only
caters to the individual preferences of housing consumers and asks for a return
to “democracy, community and social well-being”. The proposed participatory
processes leading up to the drawn interventions are described through a series
of photographs of exquisitely detailed models where the absence and presence of
the inhabitants’ lives plays out. Though Mark is adept at digital modelling,
the design of the project takes places in the making of the models, as a way of
slowing down the method and filling it with the voices of the current and
future inhabitants.
