This book is about
reshuffling contextualizing transforming
Tactility
- childhood and memories about the surface
The staircase in the basement is made of shiny marble. It is bright and becomes a safe point in the darkness of the basement. The steps are cold and hard when escaping upwards.
The staircase between ground and first floor is wooden. It is a place to wait for the father comming from work. One step is creaking. Rumbling upwards, bouth floors are filled with the dull sound of feet impacting the hallow steps. The steps are in brown wood- laminate and attached to a oil- colour painted bar- structure. Sitting in the staircaise one feels the asperity of the painting, the coldness of the bars and the roughness of the wallpaper of the second floor above.

the narrative
Mrs Fagerheims background is known from an interview of the director of NKD. She is born and rased in Berlin. The narrative ties in with her background. The choice of a narrative provides possibilities of connecting Villa Fagerheim in Dale with her childhood space in Berlin. It is supposed to figure out particular values of spaces and its elements inside Villa Fagerheim and its context in Dale. Mrs Fagerheims fictive diagnosis of dementia initiates the narrative and gives different possibilities to evaluate spaces of Villa Fagerheim by means of the sympomes of this deseas. Oblivation is the key disease of dementia. Therapies try to counter it by stimualting the senses of the individual. Mrs Fagerheim is walking through the building. Because of disorientation she has to navigate by touching the surfaces of the Villa Fagerheim. While experiencing the surfaces, Mrs Fagerheim will receive flashbacks to her childhood. That is the key of this narrative! The narrative leads to architectural proposals for Villa Fagerheim and to architectural questions about space and its configuration.

“ The street from school was lined with birch. Dandeling home, she used to sweep over the bark or the sandy, red and brownish and partly black tiles of the brickwall of the nabour house. It was heated by the noonday sun.

The conceptual deviding brick walls of Villa Fagerheim can be elements of a sequence of walls along a path. Proposal: the walls should be kept as a tactile elements for children. The walls can be part of a new school or another program concerning children.
