Method

During this course, I have developed and used a methodology that will be used through the Masters Thesis. To avoid making early presumptions about the Gothenburg Opera House, I have mainly worked with other buildings in developing the mapping methods. I have tried different ways of mapping architecture through the shared vocabulary and tried designing architecture with the final mapping iteration.

For my thesis, a collaboration has been initiated with Tobias Granmo and Daniel Berg, both professors at The Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, with the intention of exploring methods of interpreting architecture with music through the shared vocabulary. During this course, I have explored ways of musically interpreting the mappings I have made. The first interpretations helped me in defining relevant terms in the shared vocabulary, and a final interpretation is made with the final mapping iteration.
