THE KNOWLEDGE VAULT
FREE LEARNING SPACE
The main idea of the project is to compose a space that allows to host and share all the knowledge available about architecture, from its origins to its future projections.
METHODS
This project, located in Copenhagen, a very diverse city in cultural and architectural terms, intends to allow free access to information and that is why it becomes imperative to expand the spectrum of knowledge and ways of learning.
In the face of this situation arises the key question, how do you learn?
As a group we define 5 ways to be able to learn, some of these ways correspond, as in architecture, to more traditional methods, while others correspond to more innovative methods.
The methods are:
- Seeing at the environment in a static way.
- Experimenting with body.
- Listening to someone with a great knowledge.
- Watching at the structure through the walking.
- Studying from texts.
FORM
Once the ways of learning were defined, it was necessary to create a space that housed all this. The final form of the project is obtained from 6 actions, which try to imitate what has been the history of architecture.
- To Sink: Makes references to the foundations or principles of architecture.
- To Hide: Refers to architecture, as a knowledge reserved for a few.
- To Protect: Refers to the Viking fortifications present in Copenhagen.
- To Illuminate: Refers to light, as synonymous of knowledge.
- To Open: Refers to the intention of the project, opening architecture for everyone.
- To Liberate: Refers to the release of knowledge.
We intend that the project will become the center of architectural knowledge at its best.
