House of Enlightenment

Today, the city of Umeå is missing a space for both social meetings and culture, and as we become more and more disconnected from social interactions, a new space for this is proposed. To make this project flourish both lighting conditions and the programmatic layout have been extensively studied. The lighting conditions are mainly taken from skylights to ensure consistent lighting throughout and as well incorporate carefully placed windows to bring experiential qualities that in turn elevate the atmosphere. The proposed building incorporates three different programs. A library, a music scene and cinemas. These programs take on a fluid layout, where the library, divided into three sections, is located either underneath or on an undulating landscape. Here a focus has been laid on the usage of permeable materials, such as textiles, to ensure and encourage social interactions. Then the cinemas and the music scene appear to float above that, which also brings social qualities, as they are favourable to remain seated in after the end of the show.
