Architectural Amalgam

Abstract

Building is the container of people, furniture, pets and plants. But also the container of stories, time, and memories. To recall memories, architecture offers the possibility of contrast of old buildings and new parts to unfold and highlight what exists in a distinctive way, to make the memories more clear. This thesis uses the notion of amalgam as an example, where new material, natural light, and special spaces form a contrast, to evoke our memories.
