Deciphering the inherent

Sammanfattning: Deciphering the Inherent   Looks at how vernacular timber architecture can be looked at as not merely a traditional means of constructing spaces in timber.   But rather focusing on expanding the possibilities that it capacitates, exploring the material itself and timbering techniques as formwork for casting in concrete.   Material refinement, architectural heritage and environmental context has been investigated in relation to a contemporary intervention at the site of an 18th century sawmill in Sweden.   Parallel to the investigative process of construction techniques the project intends to create an altered building vocabulary that relates to the vernacular in an indirect and abstracted way.   A vocabulary that is an 21th century offspring of its vernacular ancestors. A vocabulary that welcomes the contemporary building to be deciphered by its visitors. Where traces from the construction process and material refinement are clues. Evoking questions of heritage, relation to the environment and context. In doing so enriching the spatial experience through interpretation.
