| description | “For over a thousand years, Solberget has
proudly guarded life in Växjö. The famous
mountain carries a long and captivating
history. With the stories of that time in mind,
a new grand story is born. A story about life
on the mountain and the people who now
make the place to their home”* (Bergön,
2018, p.3).
Solberget has a long history and important
natural and cultural values (Åkerberg,
2010), but when a new 19-storey
residential building was completed in 2018
at the top of the mountain (Bergön, 2018),
the park’s character, conditions and
problems changed significantly. The main
perceived problem that the residential
building has caused is the diffuse boundary
between private, semi-private and public.
According to Boverket (2008) the ambiquity
of the zones are common around houses
like the new residential building. Clearness
of the zones is described as extra important
around the type of residential building and
the feeling of knowing which people are
moving in an area is important for people’s
well-being, Boverket (2008) writes.
“The outdoor environment around the
residential building must be designed
with great care with regard both to future
residents in the area but also to the public
who visit the park”1
* (Växjö kommun, 2013,
p.5).
In addition to the value of clarifying the
zones, the new conditions place greater
demands on safety and accessibility in the
area. The feeling of safety and accessibility
are two basic preconditions for people
to want and be able to stay in the area
(Boverket, 2008). At present, both aspects
are insufficient. The rocky ground creates
boundaries, obstacles and makes it difficult
to get from different directions. Lighting
is almost non-existent, the zones are
diffuse and the back of the area meets the
adjacent school’s storage and containers.

The project includes the concepts of
private, semi-private and public, as well as
safety and accessibility through literature,
interviews, observations and sketching.
Safety and accessibility act as pillars
and clarity of the currently problematic
and diffuse zones as the main issue.
The concept is formulated according to
the area’s most current problems. As a
critical and also as an inspiring aspect in
the process a reference study has been
made where a number of places have
been visited. The places are linked to the
problems at Solberget and the formulated
concept. Based on literature, analyzes,
interviews, site visits and reference
sites, a design proposal has finally been
formulated.
Eight tools have been developed as a
basis for the design proposal. The tools
sightlines, connected, characters and
boundaries are linked to what is to be
achieved and the tools paths, materials,
markers and vegetation describe how.
New continuous paths, development of the
main path, extension of the meadow land,
sightlines towards characteristic elements
and recurring materials and color have
contributed to creating a well-connected
and clear public park. Markers in the form
of trees and shrubs, a low mound and
different characters of vegetation contribute
to creating a clearer boundary between the
semi-private zone and the public. Clearer
zones, a more planned design of the park,
lighting, stairs and paths contribute to a
safer and more accessible area.
The intention and goal of the new proposed
design for Solberget has been to create
a clear, safe and accessible park where
people can and want to stay. |

Det berömda berget bär på en lång och fängslande historia. Med dåtidens historier i minnet föds en ny storslagen berättelse. En berättelse om livet på berget och människorna som nu gör platsen till sitt hem” (Bergön, 2018, s.3). Solberget har en lång historia och viktiga natur- och kulturvärden (Åkerberg, 2010) och när ett nytt 19 våningar högt flerbostadshus stod klart på bergets höjd (Bergön, 2018) förändrades parkens karaktär, förutsättningar och problematik markant. Det främsta upplevda problemet som flerbostadshuset har medfört är den diffusa gränsen mellan privat, semiprivat och offentligt. Enligt Boverket (2008) är en otydlighet av zonerna privat - offentligt vanligt förekommande kring punkthus, som det nya flerbostadshuset kan definieras som. Tydlighet av zonerna beskrivs som extra viktigt just kring den typen av hus och känslan av att veta vilka personer som rör sig i ett området är viktig för människors trivsamhet, skriver Boverket (2008). “Utemiljön kring bostadshuset ska utformas med stor omsorg med hänsyn både till framtida boende i området men också till allmänheten som besöker parken” (Växjö kommun, 2013, s.5). Utöver värdet av att tydliggöra zonerna ställer de nya förhållandena större krav på trygghet och tillgänglighet i området. Känslan av trygghet och tillgänglighet är två grundförutsättningar för att människor ska vilja och kunna vistas på en plats (Boverket, 2008). I dagsläget är båda aspekterna otillräckliga. Den kuperade marken skapar gränser, hinder och gör det svårt att ta sig från olika håll. Belysning är nästintill obefintlig, zonerna är diffusa och områdets baksida möter den intilliggande gymnasieskolans förråd och containrar. I examensarbetet undersöks begreppen privat, semiprivat och offentligt samt även trygghet och tillgänglighet genom litteratur, intervjuer, platsbesök och skissarbete. Trygghet och tillgänglighet fungerar som grundpelare för att sedan skapa tydlighet av de i dagsläget problematiska och diffusa zonerna. Konceptet är formulerat utefter områdets mest aktuella problematik. Som en kritisk och samtidigt inspirerande aspekt i processen i riktning mot att ta fram ett förslag har en referensstudie gjorts där ett antal platser har besökts. Platserna är kopplade till problematiken på Solberget och det formulerade konceptet. Med litteratur, analyser, intervjuer, platsbesök och referensplatser som grund har slutligen ett gestaltningsförslag utformats. Till grund för gestaltningsförslaget har åtta verktyg tagits fram. Verktygen siktlinjer, sammanhängande, karaktärer och gränser är kopplat till vad som ska uppnås och verktygen stråk, material, markörer och vegetation beskriver hur. Nya sammanhängande stråk, utveckling av huvudleden, förlängning av ängsmarken, siktlinjer mot karaktäristiska inslag samt återkommande material och färg har varit bidragande för att skapa en enhetlig och tydlig offentlig park. Markörer i form av träd och buskar, en låg vall och olika karaktärer av vegetation har bidragit till att skapa en tydligare gräns mellan den semiprivata zonen och den offentliga. Tydligare zoner, en mer välplanerad utformning av parkmiljön, belysning, trappor, en utveckling av stråk och liknande bidrar sannolikt även till att Solberget upplevs tryggare och mer tillgängligt. Intentionen och målet med den nya föreslagna fysiska utformningen för Solberget har varit att skapa en tydlig, trygg och tillgänglig park där människor kan och vill vistas. 2021-05-05 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/16641/1/svantesson_e_210413.pdf Svantesson, Emelie, 2021.
