Prompted by the question "why don't Stoockholmers share larger flats rather than living alone in cramped conditions?", TV! would like to investigate a type of architectural change (förändring) that is largely invisible from the public realm... the interior subdivision that leads to the phenomenon of "ettan"...
Shrinking household size is often touted as a symbol and result of modernity, conjuring up images of independent working women, gay couples, childless couples, single mothers, twenty somethings, all liberated from the confines of the nuclear family. But does a demographic shift in social structure necessarily provide the only explanation for the vast number of studio apartments in Stockholm? Is it simply a matter of supply or demand, and are there other factors at work here? How has the subdivision of interior space played out in Stockholm, how is it linked to demographic shifts, and where are the extreme cases? How has the physical partitioning of space proceeded in time, and what norms does it really perform?
