A framed space situated in the heart of Royal Danish Academy campus. The project explores the potential of space in a shifting wall structure. Værket is up for interpretation: its function and spatial qualities are determined by the user’s need; the need of space, gathering and expression.
Plan.
Site and context.
The furniture found on campus are scarce and random. The need for seating is evident.
How can we create a space without a specific program;
a space that invites and inspires for different kinds of activities and stays?
Users' needs.

For expressing.
The intention of Værket is not to tell how to use it. The familiarity in materials, visuals and relation to the body appeals and communicates how to use it naturally.
Basemodul. Værket is built with modules in the dimensions 40cm in height, 150cm in width and 47cm in depth.
The base module is repeated in a consistent rhythm horizontally. It varies vertically and can be in different heights: 40cm, 80cm and 120cm; heights related to the body scale. It can be interpreted as a seating element, a table element and a spatial element.
Construction and joinery.
Materials: Oak or Robinia, joined together with steelbolts, screw threads and washers and casted in concrete.
15x15cm thick wooden beams are joined together with common wooden techniques "bladning" and "tap".
