A0 - MANIFESTO
As a child I wanted to draw and build things. Lego was one of my big
obsessions. Building a space for something. See small individual pieces form
into a construction. Building a cave of wood, leafs and other materials.
Designing. Drawing. So the choice was easy. I wanted to be an architect!
This is some of the things I find very fascinating:
The personal space.
I am very fascinated by the way people act in a room. How everyone has a
personal space. For some it is hard to be in an elevator and for others you
wish the boundaries was a bit bigger. I think it is an important point when
creating architecture. Does the room encourage conversation, or no human
contact at all? Is it an intimate space
or more formal? How do we influence the room to create the perfect space?
The “complicated” houses – not minimalistic.
I am very inspired by the more personal and “complicated” houses – the
old houses with many rooms and outstanding facades. The facade that incorporate
the nature - consider the nature.
The way people use architecture in their own way.
Architects always design buildings and try to form the way the user
should use it. But I find it fascinating that sometimes people find other ways
to use it. A building can be very
complex and formed even after the construction. I think the real gold in
designing is to create something that still is functional and modern after many
years.
The light.
Finally I find a big interest the light. The light is one of the most
important things when creating a space. Light is widely accepted to
have a positive psychological effect on the human being. So especially here in
the north it’s important to consider that factor when dealing with light. How to place windows or
other openings and reflective surfaces, so during the day natural light can
provide internal lighting. Trying to find the best way to use light in the
given space.

The neglected window
This is the window you never see. The neglected window is placed for a practical purpose. Functions as an opening to light up the basement. You don’t look through moste of them. On my tour I discovered that the older basement windows often randomly made. They are not considered to be a part of the main building and just placed where needed. As you move in time the window is incorporated and more outstanding. That is the reason for my trophy. It is seen as a part of the building.
