As a finalizing project, the thesis aim create an integrated design proposal for the transformation of the Malt factory in Ebeltoft, which will include knowledge, skills and methodologies, acquired through the Master degree at Aalborg university.

Depopulation, a serious struggle for many smaller communities, course a downfall in local economy, social communities and cultural heritage. Through the theories of the integrated design process at Aalborg university, skills to analyse and react to complex problems are at the core and therefore been central in this thesis, to argue the role of architecture as a catalyst for life and cultural growth. The Malt factory in Ebeltoft set the frame of these studies and propose relevant challenges, in regards to shaping a new social community, through the transformation of the existing structure. The final design, weight life as a central quality and investigate how tectonic perception and architectural design of the new malt factory, can enhance and redefine the identity of the Ebeltoft.
