THE SKETCH
The sketch as an object shows a process of something becoming. It is not a final object. The sketch is a way of gathering impressions and study already existing or imagined objects in order to gather or transform them into a coherent work of art.
Certain older spaces show different layers of time, an adding and removing of elements that have happened organically throughtout the years. Rooms, elements and materials occur at odd angles, often resulting in spaces with qualities of complexity, obscuredness, depth, something unexpected.
With this definition a layeredness in space means an increased complexity of space. An architecture unfolding and enveloping step by step, slowly, everything not obvious at first glance. A variation of spatial elements, space with complexity, in form, overlay and detail. A certain spatial disorder, sometimes due to additions and alterations made over time, sometimes present from the very beginning.

02. Intentional layering
03. Unintentional layering
CATEGORIES OF LAYERED SPACE
Layered space may occur organically, and the space that is created can then be seen as an artefact, a category of space with certain qualities. Once this category is identified it is possible to look for the same qualities in spaces created in other ways. The layered spaces have been divided into the following categories: 01. Actual historical layering
Spaces that have had layers added and removed organically over the course of time.
02. Intentional layering
Spaces that have been created with the intention of achieving the same qualities that occur in historical layering, or working intentionally with already existing historical layers.
03. Unintentional layering

COLLECTING FRAGMENTS
To investigate the layered spaces a method of collecting fragments is applied. The fragments are collected and investigated in smaller models, looking at specific situations.
The collecting of existing fragments is a way of associating and sorting, a chain in the process of translating existing space into new space. The fragments are to be used as a tool in order to translate layered qualities of space into new architecture, based on the old.
The architecture would make use of spaces already existing, thereby becoming a new layer based on old space. I believe this method might create associative spaces, spaces with affinity and connection to something we recognise from before, re-interpreted.
“I believe that a building may be the conclusion to a chain of associations.”
