Abstract
This thesis contains a design proposal for the upcoming architectural competition for a new museum to house The Vedbæk Findings, aiming to create a Mesolithic-specific museum that meets the UNESCO standards. The competition seeks to ensure an experiential design that honours a significant portion of the world’s cultural heritage, particularly The Vedbæk Findings, some of the best-preserved Paleolithic skeletons in existence. The thesis focuses on the development of a new museum, as an opportunity to revive the essence and principles of the original site through a revitalized museum narrative and communication strategy, brought to fusion by innovative architectural interventions. At the heart of the museum’s creation is the understanding of human movement and environmental perception. The design proposal for the new museum is built on an exploration of how human movement informs architectural design, emphasizing the interplay between the design outcome and the theoretical framework supporting movement.
