| Summary: | The city park of Eskilstuna is under development. In 2013 the municipal of Eskilstuna kept a dialog with its citizens about the city park. They were given the opportunity to leave wishes and proposals about the development of the park and the larger part of the proposals recieved were wishes of a serving building. The question was where to place it and what the configuration of this building is going to look like? The purpose of this undertaking is to work out a place of gathering with high comfort and service for the park visitors along with making it fit for the parks character. The natural light and beautiful views are to take into consideration and usage when designing a building. Large glass sections facing open views are growing more common. When choosing the type of glass to be used for this one should take into consideration the noise of surrounding traffic. The question here is what type of glass to use specifically for the serving building in Eskilstuna city park, based on the technical aspects of sound and light? When searching the Swedish literature for scientific papers on architecture considering the designing of a restaurant building, we discovered an existing gap. This paper only covers the requirements on noise, material, fire and availability, function and the placement of the building, together with the architechtural properties. In this paper three areas regarding placement taken from the city parks developmental plan have been audited. The aspects audited is the choice for placement of light, surrounding vegetation, view, quarter, noise, traffic, availability and the logistics regarding pedestrians and vehicles. Areas are named A, B and C. Area C was chosen as the most suitable as the traffic surrounding is most distant there. Area C also possesses a beautiful view, it’s located at the centre of the park and surrounding vegetation provides a light shade. The configuration of the building is made with support from Swedish literature regarding the architechtural aspects of alignment, movement, envelopment, light and areal organization. This is presented in the form of drawings and explanations. The glass chosen for the restaurant building is based on a comparison of several audited types of glass. The chosen glass, named Modell 1, have good and suiting properties regarding noise reduction, transmission, reflection and U-value and is therefore considered to hold a higher performance in comparison to the other types of audited glass.
