“Reclaiming the non- places” is an ambition to activate underutilized urban spaces- normally referred to as “non- places”. Non- place is a term founded by philosopher Marc Augé, describing places characterized by anonymity, such as airports, hotels, motorways etc… Based on this information, one could find new examples of non- places in Umeå. As a student, the main campus of Umeå became an interesting site to investigate. How could I improve this site architecturally, by introducing my notion of the non- place? When inventing a spatial programme, it felt logic to relate the function of the structure to the function of the site. Therefore, I decided the programme to be about learning. However, I don’t want to replicate the logic of the typical learning environment, I imagine that my proposal could rethink the learning experience. We are all aware that seminars and lectures can become boring, even if the subject itself is interesting. As human beings, we are not meant to sit still for too long. Therefore, the typical classroom is poorly designed. My ambition is to create a free learning environment where people can learn and move at the same time. I believe that “learning by moving” could be a better tool than “learning by sitting down”. I also have a futuristic viewpoint on the project. What technologies could enhance the learning experience? I want the learning process to be an active experience that touch all the senses.
