The Eclipse

Sammanfattning: The project sets in Prishtina, Kosovo, and explores the oasis of a park in the middle of the intense city. The different movements created by us, has led to the interest of developing architectural fragments of stops to activate the park and further extend the public use of the National Library: a way of creating new movements in order to connect them two together. “A search for the path of totality, also known as the movement of Eclipse.” ____________________ This is a process-led project with a conceptual approach towards finding space and forms. Methodology (brought in from the late '70s) is together with sociology explored and elaborated to help understand and develop the human behavior in the urban context, further find a new systematic way to extend the public use of the Library, and activate its park. The project is inspired by the movement of the lunar Eclipse, an activation of happening, which results in a final proposal of eight unique fragments that act as activating points in the area. To maintain a strong movement and highlight of happening, the fragments will only be activated one at the time with a temporary function that will emerge around them. The functions are built up by a modular system where its "objects" relate to a grid system that is laid out in the landscape, and fixed to the focal point of the landscape, the Library, where the spatial design process starts.
