Sammanfattning
With a fascination for the act of drawing, this
thesis focuses on using unconventional methods
to uncover and investigate architectural narratives,
exposing layers embedded within our built
environment to introduce a transformation formed
by iterations of reality. The narrative unfolds by
using the industrial complex of Rosenlundsverket
as a catalyst. As the industry faces liquidation,
questions about the building’s future emerge.
The start of the process takes on a more
conventional way of approaching an existing
building, where the building is viewed as an object
to portray. This journey is physically manifested
in the creation of hand drawings that encapsulate
the investigative findings. Drawing serves as more
than just a communication tool; it becomes a
dynamic medium where representation and design
intricately intertwine, allowing us to discover the
dimension of reality and imagination. Through
this process it made us think if the existing
building could be seen as more than an object,
and what would the outcome be if we saw it as
the subject, a source for inspiration to compose a
design transformation.
The method is structured into three stages: The
Observer, The Intepreter and, The Actor. These
perspectives are created to depict the process,
and to develop a deeper understanding of each
iteration.
The thesis compasses the development of archives
and a speculative design, by re-imagining and
re-articulating the essence of Rosenlundsverket.
Developing a method that allows for a process that
does not kill intuitions by rationalizing.
By drawing Rosenlundsverket as a carrier of
components, the thesis unfolds diverse design
methodologies to enable innovative approaches,
allowing for an introduction of speculative design
aimed at questioning conventional notions of
value. The outcome has taken shape of drawings
and models. We have come to understand that art
and architecture are not static entities but dynamic
processes. This insight imprints the research of our
journey, inviting further exploration and question
architectural narratives. Resulting in twelve hand
drawings (700 x 1000 mm), representing each
stage of our process.
