Burning down the house

P O S T went up really early this morning to put the last logs into the pavilion. At two o´clock in the afternoon we had a opening ceremony for the pavilion. Tourists from foreign countries and people living in Jukkasjärvi and Kiruna came to see the building. Many of them at first though that the whole building was going to be burned down at the same time but when we explained the use of the pavilion many of them took logs from the facade and put them into the fire. Two newspapers also came, one unannounced. To sum the day up we are very happy about the outcome.

Fence

P O S T have today put up the fence. It turned out to be harder than we had expected. Now the bearing system is finished and tomorrow we will put 9 cubic meters of fire wood into the structure. Today the sun hasn´t been up for the whole day and we wish for colder and clearer weather tomorrow.

Extension of the eyes

P O S T blindfolded them selves in oder to experience the world without seeing. Without your sight you have to depend on your other senses, like touch, sound, smell etc. To remove sight from your perception you become aware of that you use your other senses to orient yourself more than you think. We where surprised that the tactility of our feet were so important and that it was hard to estimate distances. The sound of surrounding objects were surprisingly confusing us more than helping.

When we design spaces and buildings it´s important to consider that we have more than just one sense. We experience architecture not only by one stimulus. Our experience of architecture is an interaction between all our senses and this should be regarded in the design.
