- Abstract
- Hidden on the plot of my summerhouse is a mountain glace overlooking the ocean. It is an enthralling place - a rock wall in the north and views towards the ocean in the south.

It is an enthralling place - a rock wall in the north and views towards the ocean in the south. A World War II trench is blasted into the rock, holding intimate rooms and layer upon layer of history. Here is narrow inclosure and vast openness, all at once. This mountain glace has been unused and forgotten during my whole life. With this thesis, I seek to bring the place to life.
The nature and the landscape here are immensely palpable and make me feel more than any other place does. I have spent every summer of my life at my summerhouse. It is a place I know inside-out. Senses and memories surface as soon as I think of it. And so, this is where I embark: in my own personal experience and connection to the place.
In this thesis I examine the nature and the landscape as a place and as a phenomena. I have turned to my sensations and allowed my subjective interpretation to guide the process. What does the spatiality of the landscape look like, how does it affect me, and how can I express it? With these questions as compass, I have sought expressions of additions, in the form of a cabin, corresponding with and enhancing my experience of the place. The landscape and the surroundings are the center focus, why the challenge has been to create additions interacting with the landscape. The trench is one of the layers to which I relate, another the blasted rock, and a third the vast views over the Sankt Anna archipelago.
It has been a long investigatory sketching process where I have worked with different approaches and focuses simultaneously. The process has emanated in three more thorough studies of cabins, which in different ways express and enhance the place and its characteristics and phenomenon (Less)
