Abstract

Dette afgangsprojekt består af et arkitektonisk respons, på dualiteten mellem censur og ytringsfrihed. Disse to terme, hvis indflydelse samt fylde i den daglige politiske- og sociologiske debat, er udgangspunktet for et nyt museum, Museet for Censur & Ytringsfrihed. Det er museets ambition at udfordre den besøgendes egen holdning til censur og ytringsfrihed, som begge er mekanismer i samfundet, der har spillet, og spiller en væsentlig rolle i nutidens Danmark.

The master thesis project outlines an architectural response to the peculiar nature of censorship and freedom of speech. These two terms, which are growing to be more and more present in the daily socio- and political agenda and press, are the main topics in the Museum of Censorship and Freedom of Speech. It is the ambition of the museum to challenge the users own individual stance on censorship and freedom of speech, as mechanism of society, and to educate on the importance and sociological influence these two terms has and have had.
