Introduction
  • Rural small scale densification
My Diploma examines how existing buildings and infrastructure can be used for new purposes. This is an architectural move that is often associated with urban areas. I look at this problem in a more rural situation. I transform an old canning factory into business premises and apartments. The apartments are thought of as a replacement for a single family homes. The proposal revitalize a small village centre by giving the cornerstone building and the surrounding situation new properties with architecture as a means of action.
