Abstract

Specialet undersøger designet af et 'enabled space'—et rum indrettet til at understøtte aktivitet og engagement—på Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art i Aalborg. Formålet er at tilbyde en gennemgående ('pervasive') oplevelse, der er til stede på tværs af rummet, for teenagere, som normalt ikke er interesserede i museer. Flere designmetoder anvendes iterativt for at udvikle et proof of concept. Prototyper udvikles og testes undervejs for at kvalificere de bedste designvalg.

This thesis explores the design of an 'enabled space'—a space configured to support activity and engagement—at Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg. The aim is to provide a pervasive experience that is present across the visit and the space for teenagers who are not typically interested in museums. Various design methods are used iteratively to produce a proof of concept. Prototypes are built and tested throughout the process to inform the best design decisions.
