Sammanfattning
Ceremonies means a formal gathering that marks an important
happening in one’s life. Depending on the organization or
religion ceremonies have different formats and environments.
The common factor is that all ceremonies mark an important
event in someone’s life. Architecture that hosts these types of
gatherings are often extravagant and creates a monumental
atmosphere.
Today religious buildings are often associated with ceremonies
as we grieve or celebrate loved ones. In Sweden churches are
often associated with these happenings. But over the last
decades the Swedish church has seen and lost in both ceremonies
and members. This shows that churches might not be a suitable
option as they are often decorated with religious ornaments.
Therefore I want to explore the possibility of a secular ceremonial
building in Slottsskogen, Gothenburg. The building will be
flexible and inclusive for people with different beliefs and aims
to give a new meaning to the ceremonial space.
