The Bråta Pavilion Report

Report, 2014

This report has been made by JIG Design Ekonomisk Förening and Chalmers University of Technology for the municipality of Härryda. It is a preparative document for the design of a pavilion for the recycling centre of Bråta. Bråtapaviljongen is a project initiated by the municipality of Härryda with JIG in collaboration with on-going research at the department of Architecture of Chalmers University of Technology and Mistra Urban Futures. This report aims to define functions and the approximate surface of the pavilion, as well as design strategies for the building to fulfil the overall vision. This document will become the base for the second phase of the project: the design development of the pavilion. The program is a starting point, establishing mutual understanding and is often adjusted according to discoveries and discussions made during the design process. This report consists of two sections: The first includes the design programme of Bråtapaviljongen; the second includes a summary and an analysis of assessments of Bråta’s current situation and design proposals conducted by master’s students at the school of Architecture at Chalmers University of Technology, during a course entitled “Sustainable Building” in Spring 2014. This report is written in two languages: The programme is in Swedish while the summary of the student’s work is left in English in order to reduce the time needed to compile and produce this report.
