Wall
27 June 2018



The project originates from a search for sincerity in the physical appearance of art and architecture. In the landscape and nature there are recognizable, but blurred, traces of how the forces of the elements play out over time. Ice and water from a melting glacier cuts and crushes cliffs. The wind pushes huge sand masses over land, like the sanddunes of Råbjergmille, forming perfect parabolic lines across the landscape. The abstract and geometrical formgivning of man derives from the desire to arrange and harmonize these forces – forces beyond our dominion. The architectural square grid is in strong contrast to nature and in the Euclidean geometry lies the idea of perfect order. 

How can nature’s unstructured morphologies be used as aesthetic tools for progressive architectural work? How can different sensory phenomena transform into meaningful architectural scale in a spatial object?

The project investigates how these morphologies can be harmonized into an aesthetic whole whole still maintaining a dynamic structure. As a result the wall integrates and distributes light and space. It is thought to be a contextual module that changes the surrounding space and atmosphere according to light and spatial configuration. The wall accumulates time in color, marks and patina.
