Studio: Matter Space Structure, Out of Context
Year: 2021
Location: Gothenburg
Type: Speculative
This speculative study delves into the relation to, and use of context, expanding on its connotations and our preconceived notions. It seeks to discover techniques that engage in a dialogue with the inherent qualities of context, designing in resonance with both past and future, situation and speculation.
The project finds its beginnings in the cemetery—a space imbued with and shaped by a sense of melancholy. These places, though somber, serve as a quiet refuge for the city's inhabitants, offering moments of grief and contemplation. The melancholy that pervades such spaces, while heavy and complex, can, at times, transform into a source of comfort.
In the ancient world, melancholy was considered a vital component of the body together with three other so called “humours”. The four humours together needed to remain in balance in order for the body to remain in good health. Melancholy in moderation was considered a necessity.
