Abstract

Dette kandidatspeciale fra 2018 af Semiha Toptas ved Institut for Arkitektur & Design, Aalborg Universitet, foreslår et design til et nyt offentligt bibliotek i London, Storbritannien. Projektet anvender en forskningsbaseret og integreret designtilgang med fokus på bæredygtighed. Det betyder, at beslutninger træffes på baggrund af viden, og at bygningens forskellige dele tænkes sammen som en helhed. For at skabe arkitektur, der er tæt forbundet med de besøgendes behov, undersøger specialet, hvordan arkitektur og dens miljømæssige kontekst påvirker menneskers krop, sind og følelser. Indsigterne bruges til at forme designet omkring både fysiske og mentale behov, så biblioteket understøtter en god oplevelse og trivsel i samspil med omgivelserne.

In this 2018 master's thesis from the Department of Architecture & Design at Aalborg University, Semiha Toptas proposes a design for a new public library in London, UK. The project uses a research-informed and integrated design approach with a focus on sustainability. This means that design choices are guided by evidence, and the building’s different aspects are developed together as a whole. To create architecture closely aligned with visitors’ needs, the thesis examines how architecture and its environmental context influence people’s bodies, minds, and emotions. These insights are used to shape the design around both physical and mental needs, aiming to provide a positive experience and support well-being in relation to its surroundings.
