The purpose of the master thesis is to present a spatial urban analysis, present the planned proposal for the transformation of Eg and propose an urban transformation of the central urban space.
This master will focus on urban qualities in the central urban space within the hospital area. The thesis will also include used methods, the types of analysis applied, and external information to give the full picture and understanding of the case area. The last section outlines the vision, strategies, proposals, and conclusion. This master’s thesis has the intention of presenting accurate information about circumstances and providing a better understanding of the aspects the central urban space should emphasize in a transformation of Eg. The thesis is based on a case area located at Eg in Kristiansand. An excursion, the collection of information and data, as well as an analysis of the area have been carried out. This is used as a basis for the design proposal, where different elements are based on theory and relevant criteria for use. The elements used in Eg meet the requirements and visions of the Eg hospital area. | |
