THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CHAIR
The focus for my thesis project was to design a new type of chair for the public schools in Denmark. The focus was to revive the classic way that education is intended and the way the students are meant to sit and absorb the knowledge from the teachers. The intention is that the chair gives the students several different options and possibilities for sitting positions during classroom education. The chair offers with its simple design - two distinct sitting positions. The first position offers a more active seat - where the focus is on the students table and the work immediate in front of the students. And the other is a more passive position where the student is orientated out into the classroom. The chair is intended as a series in 5 different sizes to ensure that there are chairs that match the height of all students. The chair is stackable and is made from an 11mm birch plywood seat that is mounted to a steel tube frame. Public School Chair Final prototype for thesis presentation. Veneer and steel tube.

Opgavens fokus har ligget på design af et siddemøbel til folkeskolen, hvor mit fokus har været revitalisere den klassiske måde at modtage under visning på i klassesituationer. Det te er tænk t ved at give eleverne mulighed for at sidde på flere forskellige måder på det samme møbel, samt skif te mellem ak tive/bevægelses siddemuligheder og mere passive. Således at forskellige under visningsformer er indtænk t i stolens design. At en siddestilling tiltænk t f.eks. gruppearbejde ikke nødvendigvis behø ver at være den samme stilling som man beny t ter når man ser film, har gennemgang etc. Fokus for mit design har som udgangspunk t, være på elever i 7.-10. klassetrin, hvor kroppen er ved at være færdigudviklet og det er sidste udkald for at få indlær t en sund kropsstilling. Det er samtidigt på det te tidspunk t at der kommer mere siddestillende arbejde og under visning i forhold til i de yngre klassetrin. Dog er designet tænk t som en del af en serie i forskellige størrelser, for at kunne imødekomme alle elever - på t værs af årgange og størrelser. Jeg har valgt at lægge mit fokus på den klassiske under visningssituation i klasseværelset - men har også kigget på hvad der er af strøminger og i hvilken retning under visningen og under visningsmetoder samt lokaler bevæger sig imod.
FoLKeSKoLen iDaG I Danmark er der 1388 folkeskoler ud af ialt 2380 skoler - På disse 1388 skoler går der ca. 566.000 elever. Ialt er der over 700.000 skoleelever i Danmark. Så når man taler om folkeskolen og folkeskole eleverne er det en kæmpe masse som ikke bare kan sæt tes i en bås der passer til alle. Eleverne i den danske folkeskole - som er hvad jeg har fokuseret på går som of test på 3 forskellige t yper skoler - der er etageskolen, den funk tionsopdelte skole og den rumfleksible skole. Eleverne er fordelt ud således at ca. 1/3 går på hver t ype. Behovet for at komme med et forslag til en ny t ype af folkeskolemøbler er relevant på baggrund af flere fak torer - for mig har det været vigtigt at fokuserer på
oPSÆtninG aF StoL
det kropslige og sunde ved de gode siddestillinger, derudover så har folkeskolen igennem de sidste 10 år r ykket sig gevaldigt på baggrund af de seneste folkeskoleforlig, hvor der er kommet en øget fokus på den enkelte elevs behov og de forskellige læringsstile der er bedst for den enkelte elev. Som en del af under visningen er man også begyndt at ny tænke klasselokaler og skolearkitek turen, men møblerne, som er hvad eleverne har deres primære f ysiske forhold til, har haltet bagef ter den ø vrige udvikling.
En problematik ved mine re-registreringer har været den relativ t lille tidsperiode eleverne har kunne beny t te mine protot yper, samt problematikken ved kun at have et møbel. For at kunne få et mere korrek t billede af brugen, burde alle eleverne sidde på en udgave af møblet, igennem en længere periode end blot en enkel dag.
Med den seneste tids diskusioner og oplæg til en ny folkeskolereform, hvor der blandt andet bliver over vejet at indføre længere skoledage, fjerne en del af frik var tererne, og istedet erstat te dem med enkelte ak tivitetstimer, peger udviklingen mod længere perioder med stillesiddende arbejde. Det er således endnu mere vigtigt at tænke nye t yper skolemøbler ind i denne reform og ind i klasseværelserne, således at vi kan tilbyde eleverne forskellige og dif ferentierede siddemåder.
Hvis vi skal gøre os forhåbninger om at forbedre siddekomfor ten og ergonomien for fremtidige generationer, har vi brug for at gå ind langt tidligere og lære, hvordan vi skal bruge vores krop, og i særdeleshed hvordan vi kan sidde ned uden at gøre skade på os selv.
reGiStrerinGer Jeg har i mine undersøgelser og registreringer taget udgangspunk t i en klassisk byskole/etageskole, en karmskole/åben plan skole og en moderne rumfleksibel skole. Gennem registreringer på tre forskellige skoler, og de tre forskellige skolet yper, har jeg kigget på de forskellige under visningsformer og situationer eleverne er i - i deres klasseværelse. Jeg har obser veret og registreret den måde de beny tter de eksisterende møbler i lokalerne, og hvilken bet ydning de møbler har på deres kropslige væren og de problematikker der bl.a. er ved de forskellige t yper møbler de beny t ter. Endvidere har jeg med mine protot yper foretaget re-registreringer i en 8. klasse på Amager, Sundbyøster Skole, hvor jeg har fået et par af eleverne til at sidde på mine protot ype forslag til et ny t skolemøbel. Under disse re-registreringer har jeg fokuseret på hvordan de beny t ter møblerne og sammenlignet med mine resultater fra mine registreringer af ‘normale’ skolemøbler. Det te har været vigtigt for at kunne vurdere om mine teser omkring hvordan mit møbel skal fungere, kan være mulige.
SiDDeStiLLinGer
Der er utallige forskellige teorier om, hvordan den korrek te siddestilling ser ud, teorier der til stadighed ændrer sig. Man kan se kontorstole, der kan indstilles på alle leder og kanter til at stø t te præcist ef ter opstillede foreskrif ter. Dog ser man of test, at disse er for avancerede i brug og bruges forker t, eller slet ikke bliver brugt. Af de mange forskellige teorier om ergonomi og siddestillinger og isærdeleshed - hvad den ret te og korrek te siddestilling er, er der utallige forskellige svar. Et punk t, der er bred enighed om på t værs af forskellige teorier, er, at der ikke er en rigtig siddestilling, men at:
»Den bedste stilling er den næste stilling« Vi kender de klassiske billeder af stive ‘robot’ mennesker, men virkelighedens mennesker fungerer bestemt ikke statiske som en tegning - vi er ak tive og konstant vekslende mennesker, det er der for vi har brug for at kunne veksle mellem forskellige måder at bruge vores krop på.

De fem højdeintervaller er taget fra Dansk Standard DS/EN 1729-1, men den korrelerende højde på møblet er tilpasset således at jeg introducerer nye siddehøjder. Kroppens udvikling når vi bliver større og ældre, sker ikke bare som en skalering af kroppen, vi kan oversæt te til en skalering af møblet. Istedet er højden på sædet skaleret i forhold til hinanden, således at for at de to sædehøjder skal passe til kroppen skal sædeforskellen være mindre - desto lavere stolen er.
BeSLaG
Den laveste stol er tilpasset en gennemsnitshøjde for en 7-årig skoleelev.
Beslaget udføres i stål med en gummi/nex tel belægning og monteres under bordpladen, således at stolen kan sæt tes op under bordet ved endt skoledag.

INTRO
INTENT
We love being outside in the summer, flocking in the parks, on the harbor front, wherever we can find a ray of sunshine in between the showers of rain.
The furniture is a proposal for the problems and opportunities of settling in the open public spaces of the city of Copenhagen.
But besides the public space around Prags Boulevard - most people have to sit on benches, the grass, on tree stumps, on stairs, whatever kind of seat there can be found. There are of course benches in the public space of Copenhagen, but they are often too far apart, and they are usually not quite where you want them to be. Either in the shade, to close to a dusty gravel road, or to close to an overstuffed trash can. And if they are exactly where you want it to be, it’s crowded with people.
The furniture aims to develop an understanding and sensitivity for the context. While still giving a new opportunity for people to inhabit and take control over a small part of the public space.
This also means that for people that won’t or even can’t sit on the park lawns. We remove a possibility of using our common public space, and the much needed pauses from the more hectic city life.
With the flexibility the chair offers we can create and give people more opportunities for using the public space in a way that is more fitting with the way they want it to be.
As soon as the first rays of sun and the waves of spring heat reaches Copenhagen. The citizens flock outside and try to soak in as much sun and warmth as possible.
With the introduction of a char that can be moved around in the confines of the parks and public space. We can give the users more freedom to decide how they want to use our public space.
The furniture will create small nodes in the larger landscape. And the collective look of the furniture will develop a greater appreciation of the comparison between the open uninterrupted landscape and the more intricate labyrinth of furniture placed on the open surface.

\’AK-TIV \ DINING CHAIR
\’Ak-tiv\ Chair School project, 4th year, 8th semester
INTRO
The focus for the assignment was to design a dining table chair. A dining chair is for the enjoyment of food, the social aspects surrounding the meal, and the dining experience. Eating is an activity, where there is much movement, though usually only small movements. I thus wanted to design a chair that supports these small movements. My design intent was to design a chair that is so open in its design that it can be used by everyone for an improved dining experience.
MATER IALS

Dementia: Rocking Improves Well Being of Dementia Patients according to a University of Rochester conducted research on persons with dementia, either due to Alzheimer's or other causes.
Balance: Improves balance, a huge concern among the elderly population, where a fall often leads to drastically scaled-back quality of life. The gentle rocking motion helped stimulates the vestibular system, which helps maintain balance.
ADD /ADHD: Rocking chairs helps children and adults struggling with attention disorders, to better adapt to situations, especially in learning specific environments.

BRIDGING
Bridging XL Design project, 7th. semester
INTRO
The Bridge would be located in the harbor of Copenhagen between the two parts; known as Sluseholmen and Teglholmen and over the 100-meter-wide channel called ‘Teglløbet’,
LOCATION
The area has been recently developed, in accordance with the master plan by Soeters Van Eldonk Ponec in cooperation with Arkitema. The area is still undergoing development, though due to pollution of the site on Teglholmen and the current status of the financial markets, the next stages of the development of the area have been put on hold for the moment. The area is a kind of pastiche on the historical canal buildings in Holland, Christianshavn and the docklands of London. Though the apartment buildings are designed to look unique, they are similar in their architectural style, and the interiors of all the apartments are very similar, Planners envision the same inhabitants with the same kitchens and the same number of children as in all the other newly developed apartments in the area.
THE BR IDGE
The bridge would directly connect the two quaysides of Sluseholmen and Teglholmen along the main axis of the area. Thus the bridge follows the natural flow along the main axis of the area and with its minimalistic though intricate design it offers a natural continuation of the existing ways of movement for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area. while still playing with the concept of a straight bridge crossing over the harbor channel. The pedestrian and bicycle lanes will bring distinct experiences to the many users, including commuters and local residents of the area. The location of the bridge will, along with its many users, be a new image of the city life. The bridge should be a part of the urban relationships of the vicinity. The architectural expression of the bridge should enter into the higher urban order, so that the contact with the water plays a major role.

HOUSE OF MUSIC
House of Music Bachelor project, B.Arch, 6th semester
INTRO
The House of Music is meant as an extracurricular opportunity for the users aged from 15-16 and up; who need space and also equipment for musical exploration and rehearsals.
LOCATION
The House of Music is an addition to the existing church of St. Jakob, but in way that leaves most of the interior and most of the function of the church unaltered. There is no loss of the space used weekly for church ceremonies. The church is the most popular church in the Ă˜sterbro section of Copenhagen, and is frequently filled for weddings and baptisms.
EXTER IOR
In front of the church and the House of Music, in the existing space, a smaller stage will be built for smaller outdoors concerts. The stage and the entrance for the House of Music is part of the same add-on. By establishing an independent entrance to the House of Music, the separation of the two functions becomes clearer: church – and rooms for music; this means that the two functions can be used separately
without major overlapping.
CONCEPT
Churches are traditionally known for their architectural rhythm and a composition that is very methodical and regularly, for instance, the use of a main axis, in much the same way as much music is built on the repetition of patterns and rhythms. As with music, there are constantly small variations and syncopations happening, which are the parts that make the space interesting and playful.
R EFLECTION
The project was the last project completely by hand drawings. All future projects have mostly been done with CAD and 3D computer programs.
A theme, both for the new function that I add to the church, and in the way I work with the building, is sound and music, Meant as the interchangeable composition between rhythm patterns, and the unexpected and crooked. I work with sound and rhythm, both as sound and acoustics, but also as part of the architecture; sound and music as a graphical interpretation and visualization with its rhythms, compositions, patterns, and the unexpected and playful.

BASIC LIVING
Basic Living School project, 5th year, 9th semester
INTRO
The course dealt with the idea of turning an old disused military compound into single room housing units. - Similar to dorm and hotel rooms.
PROJECT
My focus was to penetrate the ceiling and the several meters of concrete and dirt above to create light intakes. From the outside the light tunnels will be a sculptural element on the former military battlements, which are now mainly used as a recreational area and park. Inside the basic living units, the light tunnels will help generate a soft natural lighting.

Rocking Stool School project, 3rd year, 5th semester
ROCK ING STOOL
The rocking stool was part of a six week furniture workshop. There were material restrictions that meant that only steel rods of a diameter of up to 8mm could be used. I worked with the idea of a rocking stool based on the statement “the best position we can sit in, is the next position�. The rocking movement challenges and forces us to constantly shift position and to sit more correctly in an open sitting position. The material limitations meant that the construction had to be part of the visual expression of the furniture.

STUDENT HOUSING
Student Housing School project, 2nd year, 4th semester
INTRO
The main theme for the semester course is the complex and dense city. The building as a community is the aim of the research and its connection and relation to the city, the neighborhood, and the program. The façade of the building is also looked at, as the part that works as the ‘face’ of the building, and the special transitions toward the city. Another central theme is the research of the complex relationship between the singular unit, the room, and the greater organization and logistics of the layout of the building.
The program is to draw a building/building complex, for the corner site surrounded by the streets of Tietgensgade and Ved Glyptoteket. The site lies in the center of the city of Copenhagen and has both a cosmopolitan character with Tivoli and Glyptoteket as its neighbors. But still the residential spaces in the area connect the site to a very local place in the city. The site is characterized by many different building structures with a large number of historical layers and references: new and older residential buildings, larger institutions, monuments and tourist attractions. The site is also placed in an infrastructural center of the city

CAMPING SITE
Camping Site School project, 2nd year, 3rd semester
INTRO
A Campsite at the edge of the city The theme of the semester project was the challenges of settling in the open space. The project has to work within the context of the landscape, specifically the northern part of Jægersborg Dyrehave. The program includes 20 camping cabins as well as a series of buildings for reception/shop, kitchen, and bathing facilities. Wood must be used as the primary building material and the camping cabins must not exceed 20m2
which would both clearly define the area of the campsite and encompass the cabins so that they would become a natural part of a larger and cohesive structure. The wooden fence would create an interior space of the camping site as well as define a clear front and back to the camping cabins – ensuring a sense of the borders of private, semi-private, and public space.
THE PROJECT:
The campsite is located in the woods. That due to the nature of the free ranging deer has no branches or leaves below 2meter. This open space, defined by the deer creates a belt between the ground and trees where there are no natural “hiding place” or places for people to settle against a hedge or similar to give a sense of safety in the forest. Instead of having cabins dotted along a forest trails where each cabin is left out in the open. I wanted to introduce a structure Map The map shows the layout of the cabins along the natural height curves of the area.

CV
Matthias DyrkjĂŚr Kisch CV
As an architect and designer I strive to make projects that either create spatial contexts that gives people possibilities for social gatherings and interactions or create design objects that can influence the way we occupy spaces and use our bodies. The hardest thing to do is to combine concepts with the shape giving process - and thereafter to be able to realize projects without compromising the main ideas. My main focus, is architecture on a small scale and design on a large scale All scales that are closely related to the human scale and form. Today as a professional I work primarily with computer models but for furniture; the hands-on process with many prototypes, models and mockups in 1:1 is a key component of my process. More information on the following projects as well as projects from my student years can be found on my website: www.kisch.dk or at johannestorpe.com
