Sammanfattning
Stångehuvud is a nature reserve in Lysekil
where not only its nature, proximity
to the sea and spectacular granite
landscape is of importance. A predominant
part of its identity is also related
to human activity and intervention
- the traces of sharp scars left in the
granite from the stone industry as well
as the spirit and persistence of a person
who singlehandedly came to save the
landscape for the generations to come.
They all play a part in creating the collected
identity of Stångehuvud, all part
of how we perceive and value the site
today.
Growing up in the small coastal town
of Lysekil, I can see how my own identity
in many was has been shaped by
the surrounding landscapes. The strong
salty winds, the coarse red granite and
the open horizon of Stångehuvud becoming
a multifaceted identity-bearer
for many.
The idea behind this thesis grew from
a personal fascination of the landscape
and history of the site. From the
anecdotes of the stonemasons of my
own family, spending their days in the
quarries of Stångehuvud, as well the
alluring stories of the brave and persistent
Calla Curman refusing to observe
the fragmentations of the natural
granite landscape. These historical and
contemporary values created an interest
in how architecture can be positioned
in the perception and experience
of a landscape. Containing and highlighting
historical details, artefacts and
stories while also becoming a contemporary
meeting place where history,
culture and landscape can intersect.
Through research by design, this thesis
aims towards creating an understanding
of the possibilities of the relationship
between architecture and landscape by
exploring the visible and invisible representations
of architecture and tectonics.
The goal is to highlight the sometimes
conflicting history of Stångehuvud - to
raise awareness of the human interactions
that came to shape, shatter and
save the nature reserve. Through the
addition of a museum pavilion and
community space I aim to create a new
platform for these stories to be shared,
creating additional values to the experience
of the nature reserve today.
