Strå - Folkets hus

Sammanfattning: Strå - folkets hus in Alberga is a place for community, culture and wildlife. Its located in the verge between Albergas more densely populated area and the  sparsely populated fields of the rural landscape. In previous project we saw Alberga answer the increasing population by 2030 by develop what we come to name as "Cluster-village", to build new with inspiration and with similar typology as what already is. Every cluster have their own agricultural land for 100% self-sufficiency of vegan diet, increasing the areas resilience. Strå - folkets hus constitutes an important part by being the connecting link between the local community of Alberga and the areas small-scale farming, thus the placing and the program. The building have several parts to play, research centre to develop ecological and long-term small-scale farming in the northern climate, community centre for the locals, storage and sharing knowledge for the Cluster-villages, but perhaps most importantly accommodates pollinators. The roof of the building is made out of reed, a local and ecologically friendly material, which even creates shelter for one of earth most vital and delicate creature, the pollinators. As the area is surrounded by scenic landscape, rich in wildlife and community, Strå - folkets hus serves as the link between farming and culture.
