1931
A really cool thing about archviz is that you can take a photograph of impossible things.
Something I like very much is to look at old photos of places and buildings I come across daily and realize how a different context can have such an impact on the same object. I want to do a little trick here and it is to translate the building not only to a different place, but to a different era. And of course, as much is I love it, this era could not be other than the 1930’s. As if the restaurant and museum were built at the same time.
The visit
I would like to thank very much Tomorrow and Ronen for this opportunity.
While I was modeling, I came up with an idea: to tell a story.
So I started to imagine a scene where the unreal becomes real,
a tale, where art, castle and museum are together. I do not use
unrealistic elements to create scenes, but I decided to take the
risk and do something more creative for this challenge.
With that idea in my mind I choose to create a scene inspired by
the aristocracy paintings of last centuries.
The image speaks about the morning visit of a queen and her
little son to Kalmar Museum of Art, and how this visit changes
the mood of the environment; animals, fog, colours….

The Plot
I got the inspiration looking at some photographs of Sweeden, where I noticed many of them were surrounded by huge trees and dense fog. It immediately occurred to me Tschumi’s idea.
The rest was a research for the composition and atmosphere. I based my work on some photographs of Peter Zumthor’s thermal baths in Vals, (the way water and stone complemented each other and a dense fog hovering above the water); and from some photographs taken in Venice in a similiar situation.
As for the composition, I decided to show the library a bit far away, from the water, with a misterious human figure in the foreground, while the background disappeared in the fog.
