This thesis raises discussion about the importance of repairing, new urban meeting places and the use of artificial intelligence. Using AI as a tool, I have re-visioned rituals around taking care of ourselves and our objects. When we give a lot of value to the repeated habits of repairing ourselves and our objects, they become like rituals to us, containing a deeper meaning in our lives.

The physical context of my project is in the Örnsberg industrial area in Stockholm, at the address Instrumentvägen 21. This area was established in 1938 and still now a lot of carpenters and other kind of industries are located there. For this reason it serves as a natural place to build an urban community dedicated for repairing and sharing knowledge. 

During my process I have tested new visual artificial intelligence tools that emerged during the past year. I have aimed to find out how we as designers could use AI as a tool to help us in our work and to also find the parts in the process where human intelligence is irreplaceable. Since AI in the current extent is new and there are a lot of questions hanging around it, it is important that us designers try to understand it already now already in its early stages. This thesis is my starting point on that path.
