A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
How do we handle buildings from the past? Do we preserve, do we change, do we remove? Is it possible to make additions to buildings that most times is being left alone? And what new qualities could it bring? In this project I wanted to explore the possibility of doing something other. To try out and see if something new could be added to an environment that by default is left alone. I believe old buildings should be used, not kept as museums, and sometimes that means things have to be altered to meet present demands. I worked on a site in my hometown of Landskrona, which led me out on a journey not only through the history of the site, but through the history of my home, and my own relation to it. There is a lot of inspiration to get from the places closest to oneself, even if they are at most times overlooked, or even invisible, to us. By being responsive, yet bold, could there be a building that no one has considered before?
