Dispositions - Space and order

Abstract
The thesis focuses on both developing an architectural design as proposal for new premises for Malmö Konstmuseum as well as investigating specific topics in architecture. The project is a typological study of form, space and order with a focus on structuralism and deals with man’s relationship to its spatial environment. The project starts with a literature study serving as a basis. It continues by defining and describing concepts in architecture and design that serves as subjects and a framework to be translated and appropriated in its material design. The concepts are understood and developed in parallel disposition within, against and next to each other. The concepts are arranged in three groups of triads which deal with a topic. The... (More)
The thesis focuses on both developing an architectural design as proposal for new premises for Malmö Konstmuseum as well as investigating specific topics in architecture. The project is a typological study of form, space and order with a focus on structuralism and deals with man’s relationship to its spatial environment. The project starts with a literature study serving as a basis. It continues by defining and describing concepts in architecture and design that serves as subjects and a framework to be translated and appropriated in its material design. The concepts are understood and developed in parallel disposition within, against and next to each other. The concepts are arranged in three groups of triads which deal with a topic. The first topic is ‘architecture’: 1.architecture (structuralism) 2. program (museum) 3. building (wood). The second, ‘spaces’: 1.space (vision and movement) 2. room (limits and frames) 3. encasement (functionalism) The third, ‘context’: 1. place (Rosengård) 2. macrostructure (Industrial and cultural implications) 3. ideosphere (incursions, surrealism). These establish orders in how architecture can be interpreted and in turn formalize to be systematized and contrasted. From this order an overall abstract architecture is created to intermediate the formalized ideas with the development of framework and methods for the design. The architecture is broken down into components and parts. The components are constructed by a set of parts that are used through out the structure as reoccurring separate entities and forms. Assembled components form new meanings in its variations of shape, position and scale as they materialize a structure and are inserted into it . The architecture form larger compositions, spatial and material relations that can be reviewed. The various structures are designed and investigated through various orders and systems as tool and as a way to control the design. The project builds structures in structures. The design principle is additive where components are defined and designed through a grid structure which finalizes into a building. The result is the proposal for Malmö’s new art museum. (Less)
