Sagans skog - textil vägg för flexibla rum i offentlig miljö

Abstract

The story of the forest - A folded textile wall for flexible rooms in public spaces In the story of the forest the dragonfly is spinning yarn shiny as the sun. In the story of the forest almost everything can happen and almost everything is also happen there. Inspiration from Lennart Hellsing The goal in this exam work was to create a calm, playful space for children in public spaces. A place where children can hide and relax without being disrupted by the surrounding, a place where their imagination can grow and take place. The goal was also to make a flexible space for public spaces that could be used in different ways. Today many libraries want to be more than a library, they will work as a meeting place and you can find several activities to join in. Then it´s important to create a space that fulfill the need. This project has been a collaboration with Liljewall Architects and Lidköping Library. After interviews with the library, workshops with children, sketching and searching for materials the project resulted in a folded textile wall that easily can be removed for flexible rooms. The inspiration came from fairy tales and the dark forest. To get the right mood of the room shadows and lights has been used to create a magic feeling. The end result has been a concept where the textile creates spaces that could suit many different public spaces that have a need of private or screened places.
