Sammanfattning
The experience of architecture is an experience
of many layers; it is subjective and connected
to its surrounding and it is perceived
through all our senses.
The intention is for the thesis to answer
the research question with a building that
interacts with both its surrounding, its content
and its user. The investigation is made
through research by design and the thesis is
tested through a building proposal of a museum
for the sculptures of Ilhan Koman.
Since the sculptures are such a big part of
the experience of the building, they are considered
part of the context. A pre-study has
been made during the autumn investigating
the sculptures and their relation to space
and atmosphere. The pre-study is a foundation
and guidance for the design of the
museum.
The work is executed by iterations, physical
models, and visualizations as guiding tools
throughout the process and with several
study visits to building references used for
a deeper understanding of architecture in
connection to the thesis’ theme atmosphere.
The theoretical framework derives from the
phenomenological perspective of architecture.
With Peter Zumthor, Johan Pallasmaa
and Adam Caruso as references for understanding
the theoretical concepts of atmosphere
and architectural sensations, the aim
is for the project to explore materiality and
detail and its meaning for the building and
how it is experienced.
The percieved simplicity of the building is
meant to enhance an awareness of the physical
presence of both the sculptures and the
architecture. If they can communicate with
each other and speak to us so that we can
project meaning to its existence, they can
become part of the context and enhance the
atmospheric presence of the place.
Research questions:
How can architecture be created with atmospheric
presence?
Atmospheric presence meaning an architectural sensation
created not by formalistic concept, but through
an experience by the human senses created by place, material, detail and light.
