I have never been in Sweden, the only thing I knew about Sweden was SAAB. So, before making the concept, I started to study landscapes and history of Sweden/Kalmar. Instead of copying surrounding of the building, I decided to put this building to some unexpected place, of course this place should depict the rich landscape of Sweden. I was also looking for some interesting facts in history of Sweden/Kalmar, which would help me in story line. So, the most interesting part for me was that Sweden has never been in a war around 200 years, which is really unbelievable.. I dig deeper in a war history of Sweden, and as I expected it was really bloody. The nations that sacrifice the most, have strong immune not be fool again. My concept is about sacrifice, for all these people who died in war and who has paid the biggest price for peaceful life in modern times.
I’ll have two symbols in my project.
First – The pit with a small channel in opposite to entrance, which will symbolize a sacrifice.
Second – The Viking ship in zero gravity, inside of the building. Which will symbolize peace. Overall, this building reminds me viking vessel with its dark wood and cladding.
I understand that this concept is too complex for this challenge and I didn’t have an opportunity to put interior scene. So, I made a decision to finish this project in two steps. For Tomorrow Challenge short description with one exterior image should be enough. For my portfolio I will add all interior images with full description.
