We ask ourselves where do good ideas come from? Most people recognize the feeling of a Eureka-moment, or an epiphany, and many will claim that these moments are how they get their ideas. Studies imply, though, that the creation of an idea is the result of a much more complex process. An idea is not a single thing, it is a network - a synthesis of smaller things that are connected over time. The intention with this project is to engage the creative process and produce ideas through architecture.

The factor that plays a vital part is the possibility of human interaction, because the most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks. These sparks are fragments of a network - fragments of an idea. With great effort, and a little luck, these fragments connect and turn into an idea. Chance favours the connected mind.

The curtain helps the building adapt to the shifting weather conditions throughout the year. Cold winters in Denmark mean staying inside and, especially at Godsbanen, protect oneself from the harsh winds. In spring, the soothing breezes of fresh air and sunlight are taken in advance by unveiling and opening the facade. During summer Danes tend to let the sun determine their behaviors and the places they go. The curtain is therefore barely used, and only to dim the direct sunlight and not because of the temperature. When fall approaches they reluctantly brace themselves for the cold winds that are soon to come.

But only at the very last minute.

5th semester: clay and variationyear 2015place Aarhus, Denmarkcollaboration Jonathan Mobergmiscellaneous Bachelor exhibition 2016 Arkitektskolen Aarhus

With the theme “openings” we investigated how holes within a given perimeter can vary dependent on each other. Our clay tiles in the format 150x150x50 mm with parametrically generated openings of varying sizes were designed accord-ing to the given material. Clay is an amorphous material that works best with doubly curved or curvature continuous surfaces.

5th semester: bronzeyear 2015place Aarhus, Denmarkcollaboration Jonathan Moberg

Openings were also discovered with traditional bronze casting. A parametrically generated pattern was applied to a “bean” shaped surface, creating openings of varying sizes allowing a bulb inside to light up more in one direction than another.

5th semester: Curvature continuityyear 2015place Aarhus, Denmarkcollaboration Jonathan Moberg

Together with visiting Velux professor Brandon Clifford and Wes McGee from Matter Design and MIT we created seemingly complex, but simple, geometries that could interlock. These were tested as 3D-prints.

Description:A vertical two-piece cone-shaped sub-ject emerges through the horisontal counterpiece and due to exact surface control the vertical piece snaps and locks in place. The contradiction lies in the sidewards, or horisontal, forces in-stead of a seemingly vertical force of pressure. The only way to dismantle the vertical piece is to pinch the two upper parts to relieve the horisontal pressure.

Contradicton:

Description:Two amorphous pieces are twisted in place inside a carved out column where friction and the internal surfaces hold all pieces together. The contradiction lies in the illusion of something either growing out from the midder column or the case where the two pieces are pushed - or poured - from one end to another. When it all, in fact, is just put together from the sides.

4th semester: Turkish bathyear 2015place Aarhus, Denmarkcollaboration Stig Fengertutor Thomas William Lee

With “anchoring” as the main theme for the 4th semester, we investigated the culture of Turkey and its baths. Compared to Danish culture, Turkey’s values and traditions are still of religious origins. A Turkish bath is a ritual rather than a simple act to get clean. It is more focused on the proces, not the result. It is a sensational bombardement that at times can seem over-the-top, but in fact is a sequence of actions, strictly yet freely planned. It cleanses both body and soul.
