Innrétting Riff Raff byggingarínnar í Zurích. Myndin sýnir keðju herbergja
frá svefnherberginu, í gegnum baðherbergið og inn I stofu. Með því að
fara eftir þessum öxii uppgötvum við byggingarlist íbúðarinnar. Herbergin
og mismunandi stærð þeirra og litir eru ákveðin tii að mynda heildaráhrif.
Mikill fjöldi af hughrifum er búinn tit. / Interior Riff Raff building in Zurich.
The picture shows a chain ofrooms, from the bedroom, through bat-
hroom into the living room. By moving along the axis we can discover
the architecture of this home. Rooms and their contrasts in shape and
colour are placed in the context of a total impression. A wide range of
impressions is thus created.
THE HOME AFTER MODERNISM
Ola Nylander, Architect SAR, MSA, PhD.
The contemporary home must be
something more than a machine
to live in. The contemporary home
must contain more than the required
standards and new technology.
Meeting the industrial worker’s need
for rest and good hygiene is not
equivalent to meeting the knowl-
edge worker’s need for stimulation
and impressions. Contemporary
residential architecture must recog-
nise these modern needs and cre-
ate a place where imagination and
impressions are enriched.
Contemporary architecture is
part of the experience industry. The
contemporary home satisfies mod-
ernism's advances in terms of fresh
air, daylight, well planned functions
and advanced equipment but also
provides a well thought out, almost
staged architectural experience. The
contemporary home, rich in impres-
sions, must comprise attributes
such as axiality, an attribute that
creates a line of sight through the
floor plan and makes an apartment
surveyable, flexibility in movement
with a circular loop and rhythm,
contrasts between open and closed
spaces, quality and care in detailing
and choice of materials, the way
daylight penetrates the room, rooms
with generality and the border spac-
es between indoors and out.
Three attributes have particular
significance for the apartment in
this period after modernism. These
attributes are axiality, movement and
generality.
One of the important ingredients
of the contemporary apartment is
axiality. Axiality connects vital parts
of the apartment to each other.
Axiality connects spaces creating a
chain of rooms. It is a quality experi-
ence to be able to glance into one
or more rooms from a single room.
A total impression of space is cre-
ated with different types of lighting,
dimensions and content. The rooms
and their contrasts in shape and
colour are placed in the context of
a total impression. A wide range of
impressions is thus created.
A second decisive ingredient of
the contemporary apartment is the
rhythm of movement. Movement

Stumholmen í Karlskrona, Svíþjóð, eftir arkitektinn
Kjell Forshed. Hreyfing i hring einkennir það hvern-
ig við upplifum ibúðir Forsheds. Herbergin hafa
tvennar eða þrennar dyr. Hægt er að ganga milli
herbergja. Hringferli gefur til kynna mikið rými. /
Stumholmen, Karlskrona, Sweden, by architect
Kjell Forshed. Clrcular movements is particulary
characteristic of the way we experience Forsheds
apartments. The rooms have two or three doors
openings. We can move from room to room.
Circular movement creates a sense ofgreater
votume and space.
connects axiality with and a sense
of time; the future, the now and the
past. The now - a sense of real-
ity - when we discover what we
had intuited; namely that we have
entered into the axis’ point of ori-
gin. An aha - reaction. Physical and
visual impressions are stored and
