Interventions in Existing Buildings : Methods and Materializations

Our aim with this project was to become more aware about the consequencesthat different kinds of changes or additions have on existing buildings andtheir characteristic architectural qualities. We have focused our study on thepart when a change or addition is designed, how the planned intervention isto be materialized, trying to understand how a change or addition relate to theexisting. Whether it is made to closely resemble that which is already there orcontrast in for example form, colour or material. In our thesis we call theseways of relating to the existing methods, and it is these methods that we havetried to identify, analyse and implement throughout this project.Some of the questions we have asked ourselves are:What different methods are there and how can they be materialized? How do theywork in combination? What effect do they have on a room and what do the differentmethods communicate?
