A4 / Window Expander / Program
The previous casestudy shows movement of the rain and the
changing visibility of the steam while taking a hot shower. The window becomes
a filter showing what is happening inside and outside, showing a daily routine
inside and the changing weather outside. In order for the rain to run down and
the steam to cover the whole window the angle of the window plays an important
part.
The program for the perceptual apparatus will work with
water in its different stages: solid, fluid, and gas. Taking the angle of the
roof into consideration, the apparatus will through movement create a
distortion in visibility.

>>>>>A0. Manifesto
I never
planed on becoming an architect. I wanted to be fighter pilot like every other
small boys, but due to my asthma that never happened. I have never thought of
me as being artistic. In school I was good at math and solving things by
reason, but my art teacher in school told me that I had a talent in the field
of art and that I had to pursue it, whether it would be painting in my spare
time or something more. It is nice to have someone believe in you. I think she
is the reason why I applied for Aarhus architecture school. I like to paint and
create things. I have always been fascinated by interior design, especially
lambs and chairs. There is something beautiful about feeling the design
physically on your skin while using it, which is probably why I also like
fashion. Growing up in Denmark with a father who, like many others, suffers
from seasonal depression during the winter due to the lack of sunlight, made
light very important to me. Every time we moved we added bigger windows to the
house and every wall had to be painted in white in order to maximize the sun
coming into the house. Sometimes I thought it went out of hand, like when my
father painted the table on the terrace in a shinning white so it was
impossible to just look at the table and especially eat there.
If I try to imagine myself as an architect I
am not designing small houses, I am designing great buildings. I guess it is
because of my ambition of succeeding, which is not a very good reason for doing
something.
This last year at the architecture school I
found the working method very unfamiliar. I am not used to express my self
through models, sketches and photography. I am used to think a lot, which is
not very productive. So I realized that in order to more productive I have to
sketch more than I am used to. I like building models but I feel that I am
spending too much time on the detail instead of adding more to the
project.
My parents like everything clean, white and
minimalistic. I prefer the opposite; I love the renaissance and art nouveau
buildings. I feel they are more personal and warm in contrast to the cold and
impersonal minimalistic buildings. In school I wrote an assignment about
Antonio Gaudí who really fascinates me. I am impressed how the façade of la
Sagrada Familia looks indefinable from far away, and when you look closer you can
see that not one part of the surface is a clean line.
To sum up the above I like working in scale
1:1 and I build models. I want to know more about managing the sunlight and the
different effects. I want to design something big and at the same time very
detailed. I think that the best way for me to become more productive is to
sketch a lot more than I have been used to.
