An interpretation of the two Piranesi's, implanted with the monuments of Ulleråker
The fictional novel Piranesi set the basis for this speculation. Readings of the novel and the architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi that the novel refers to gave an outline, methods and tools for the following design. The speculative spaces from the readings, became renditions that emerged into structures and elements embedded along with the monuments of the site Ulleråker. The speculations are a result that evolved from fragments extracted from the novel: words, imagery, symbols and scenes. Together with readings of the novel and the works of Giovanni Battista Piranesi it has formed the proposed. This gesture configures spatial qualities and perceptions that are intertwined with the observations of the heritage and future of the site. I acted on site in a manner inspired by the protagonist in the novel and the referred architect. Putting together fragments of the past, the novel and my own to create the reality I perceive through the novel. In a world where time and money are key factors of design I wanted to escape reality, just like when one opens a novel and gets a pause and glimpse of other spaces. Therefore the novel became the genesis for challenging and enriching the mindset and architecture. The proposed reflects on the tempo and individualistic approach of design and searches for another point of departure in the design.
