In this thesis I have explored the common spaces in the countryside town of Hallstavik. Using site-specific micro installations, I want to engage in a discussion about these spaces with those that utilise them. Through these installations in Hallstavik, I have created a base for discussion, both onsite and digitally through the online community forum. This project aspires to contribute to a larger discussion about life-in-the-common in rural communities with the installations as the main tool 

This process is based in an autoethnographic approach with the methods being documentation, observations and dialogue. Each of these steps have derived from or led to a spatial installation on site. In this report I will discuss how this process relates to site specificity, participatory design, public art and creative documentation. This project sets a base for how design process can take form in rural area and the conditions that entails. In this process an emphasis is put on building relationships during the exploration phases. The process is the outcome and results of the design is seen from the start. In this report I have fleshed out this process and reflected on how it might be duplicated in the future.
