Steilneset Memorial
The Steilneset Memorial is collaboration between Swiss
architect Peter Zumthor and contemporary French-American artist Louise Bourgeois
(Paris, 1911-2010). It was built in memory of those persecuted in the seventeenth
century Finnmark Witchcraft trials.
The first (HERO) image shows the two different approaches
taken by both Bourgeois and Zumthor:
Bourgeois – point – “an installation more about burning and aggression”
Zumthor – Line – “an installation more about life and emotions”
in experiment one you were asked to essentially create an
architecture around evocative words. This project demonstrates how words can
influence architecture. It also provides a good example of how two very
different architectures which have been created using different approaches can still
sit together harmoniously.
To me though this project has one more element essential to
its success – the environment where it sits. This may actually be the most important
element. The hero shot definitely dramatizes this. In experiment one the environment
is designed / chosen by you, the student. This as an opportunity to create the
perfect site for the architecture (something that most often occurs the other
way around) and really use it for dramatic effect.
The second (DETAIL) image is an interior view looking through
the 120m long corridor where 91 windows are illuminated by 91 hanging light
bulbs symbolising the 91 people convicted of sorcery and burnt at the stake.
This is a powerful image and there are several things that can be taken from it
/ questions to ask about your own experiment one.
1.
Movement / Flow / Circulation: How can the design
of circulation and movement enhance the architecture. Has this been considered
in Experiment One:
2.
Lighting: How can lighting (both natural and
artificial) form a connection to the intent of an architecture.
The last thing to take from this detail image is the composition
of the image itself. The one-point perspective used here is a powerful tool
which helps emphasize the elongated nature of Zumthor’s part in the project.

Hello everyone out there, help me Thank Dr UGO! My name is MRS LINDA from Netherlands. I am here to give testimony on how I got my ex husband back, my husband left me for no reason 6 Months. He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself, my life became very bitter and sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me about a great spell caster that is very good and she said that he told her all about her life history and the problem she is facing, I didn't believe it because I've worked with so many of them and it didn't work. She begged me further so I decided to try this great spell caster called Great Dr UGO. I still didn't believe, but inside me I wanted to give a try and as God will have it, I used the spell solution he gave me and the next day I received a call from my darling husband Romero last month. He apologized and came back to me. I'm very happy now with my family it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too just give him a try and follow up this is a clear truth from a testifier. Thank you Dr UGO once again, if you want to reach him via email:(dr.ugo.temple@gmail.com) Or whatsapp on +2348056534515.
