Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
This thesis project builds upon one of the really big questions; are we alone in the universe?By research, references and studies I have throughout this project tried to imagine a future that with the help of architectural speculation and imagination is a bit more prepared to answer that question. The project in itself was intended as an exploration of the world of science, science fiction and conspiracies, as well as typology, in order to produce architecture that represented the very notion of the longing for an answer to that question. I wanted to both design spaces where one would prepare for the journey of leaving earth, as well as speculate on what type of architecture would be required to welcome a potential visitor of our planet. The result is a proposed future extension to Kiruna Airport intended for interplanetary travel, some parts concrete and real, some speculative and suggestive.
