Folkesta kulturhus

Sammanfattning: The project is located in Folkesta in Eskilstuna, an area that is characterized by a small-scale residential area in close proximity to a shopping area. Currently, there is a lack of cultural activities for children in the area and the building will therefore be an important cultural hub. The focus area of the building is cultural education in a wide variety of subjects such as dance, music and art, and there are also spaces for exhibitions and concerts. The building has a glulam construction, and the functions are arranged around a monumental concrete walkway that aims to create the impression of a cultural street. The roof of the house connects to a pedestrian bridge and inn addition to the building's internal functions, the outdoor environments are an important aspect in the design of a pleasant and safe area. The area around the house and under the bridge is provided with squares, parks, sculpture parks and outdoor activities that, in addition to their practical functions, also invite and activate the visitors. The hope is to create a meeting place for the residents and workers in the area but also to create a place for culture.
