Накратко на български
Архитектурният дизайн на обществените сгради в Швеция и влиянието на изкуствения интелект върху тях се анализират за насърчаване на социалното равенство. Това помага на градо规划ите и политиците да създадат по-достъпни пространства, които да намалят неравенствата в обществото.

Novel architectural design strategies for enhancing societal equality in cities: an interdisciplinary case study approach to Swedish public buildings.
Public spaces can serve as a tool for the administrations and society to support citizens’ equality as a basic human right. Equality is a global concern addressed by UN SDG 10 and a core value of the EU. However, there was limited knowledge of how to promote social equality through public buildings. Additionally, artificial intelligence is a new factor influencing our relationship with the spaces we inhabit. To bridge this knowledge gap, I have analyzed how public spaces can promote democratic social equality and how artificial intelligence affects this relationship. I have analyzed public buildings to understand: 1. how they can enhance equality today, and 2. the relationships between these buildings, their urban context, artificial intelligence, society, and time. The results of this research contribute to empowering architects, urban planners, decision-makers, and citizens with new knowledge and recommendations to fight inequalities and foster a more cohesive society. These results will help reinforce citizens’ opportunities for equality through public spaces and artificial intelligence, promoting more balanced living standards and peaceful cities. In conclusion, public buildings serve as an important framework that promotes equality. They can generate revenue for the private sector while addressing the needs and interests of a large and diverse population. Policymakers should, therefore, prioritize the maintenance, renovation, and construction of public cultural buildings in more widely distributed locations. Some public buildings emphasize the commercial character of public spaces. To enhance equality, policymakers should focus on ensuring equal access and opportunities for all. When access to public spaces is restricted by economic barriers such as entrance fees or geographical distance, society risks perpetuating segregation and deepening inequalities. Moreover, cultural initiatives should aim to be inclusive and avoid increasing inequalities by relying solely on market-driven interests.

Цел на проекта
This interdisciplinary project, EQUBUILD, investigates architectural strategies that enhance democratic social equality in public buildings Sweden, from 1921 to the present, yet not fully understood and thus, will contribute to empower architects, urban-planners, decision-makers and citizens with new knowledge and practical recommendations to fight inequalities for a more cohesive society. To reinforce citizens’ opportunities for equality through public buildings, promoting more balanced living standards and peaceful cities, we urgently need new architectural design knowledge and actionable design strategies. Public buildings can be a tool for the administrations and society to support citizens’ equality as a basic human right, a global concern addressed by UN SDG 10 and a core value of the EU. However, there is scarce knowledge and no thorough studies on how to promote social equality through evidence-based design strategies in public buildings. Bridging this gap, I will innovatively conduct the 1st systematic case study analysis of public buildings in Swedish cities, unveiling what and how design strategies enhance societal equality in each case. I will leverage on feedback from international and interdisciplinary experts, a mix-methods methodology linking archival research, field work, interviews, theory and practice and my experience as researcher and practicing architect. EQUBUILD will deliver new knowledge, presenting architecture as an active tool in implementing equality measures: a novel theory, database, relational maps, network diagrams, and an array of recommendations and design strategies to influence contemporary architectural designs, architects, urban designers, policy-makers, researchers and the rest of society. The impact of implementation of results will: open new research paths in EU, contribute to UN SDGs; consolidate a novel field in architecture; facilitate gender equality, reinforce citizens’ equality, balanced and peaceful cities.
