Abstract
Dette kandidatspeciale omhandler designet af en udvidelse til et eksisterende museum, beliggende på en lille halvø nær Oslo, Norge. Halvøen, Bygdøy, er hjemsted for en række museer, herunder Vikingeskibsmuseet, der inden for den nærmeste tid forventes at offentliggøre en længe ventet konkurrence angående en omfattende udvidelse. Denne længe ventede og meget omdiskuterede udvidelse, har været undervejs i 20 år uden egentlige resultater – i juni 2013 blev der dog foretaget konkrete skridt mod en realisering. Kulturhistorisk Museum i Oslo har udarbejder en række indledende dokumenter der er tiltænkt som grundlag for den kommende konkurrence. Dette projekt tager udgangspunkt i disse indledende dokumenter, hvor denne rapport vil præsentere resultatet af projektet. Gennem udforskningen af begrebet tektonisk arkitektur inden for den specifikke kontekst af museer, vil dette projekt omfatte både den teoretiske diskurs vedrørende emnerne tektonik og museumsarkitektur, såvel som analyser vedrørende site, baggrund og designmuligheder. Et væsentlig tema gennem rapporten er den iboende konflikt i at skabe en kropslig arkitektur der interagerer og skaber rumlige oplevelser, og sideløbende at inkludere og designe i henhold til de udstillede genstande.
This Master Thesis deals with the design and organization of an extension to an existing museum, located at a small peninsula near Oslo, Norway. The peninsula, Bygdøy, is home to several museums including the Viking Ship Museum, which expectedly, within the distant future is publishing a long awaited competition for a comprehensive museum extension. The extension has been widely discussed, with an official competition announcement pending for over twenty ears. In June 2013 however, steps towards concrete actions was made, with the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo drafting a set of preliminary documents intended as the foundation of the forthcoming competition. This project takes its departure in these preliminary documents, with this report presenting the results of the project development. Exploring the notion of a tectonic architecture within the context of museums and exhibition design, this project encompasses both the theoretical discourse regarding the subjects of tectonics and museum architecture, as well as an analysis concerning the site, background and design possibilities. An essential theme throughout the report is the conflict of creating an architecture that speaks to the human body, creating interaction and spatial experiences, while simultaneously considering the exhibited objects, which should be the center of attention.
