Rural Futures for Children and Young People in Northern Sweden: Design-Build Projects 7.5 credits

About the course

In this course, students will collaborate to design and construct attractive, sustainable, and inclusive meeting places for children and young people in the rural inland of northern Sweden. Building on research undertaken at Umeå School of Architecture, you will interpret the wishes and opinions of children to design and build a new meeting place in a rural context. You will work in both the architecture school and the countryside, developing an understanding of the conditions affecting societal resilience, cultural cohesion and sustainable development in rural Sweden through an architectural project.
