The method is based around the methodology of Mary-Ann Knudstrups integrated design process. This approach is extended with, what is proposed in this project as creative engineering, based around Cecil Balmonds approach to architecture and engineering. Investigating how he is able to push both the spatial and structural qualities of his projects, investigating how the performance of the buildings is as much a phenomenological question as it is structurally, and how the coexistence of them can elevate the architecture. As the performance and knowledge of the technical concerns, the building has been utilizing performance-aided design. By utilizing performance-aided design, the building has continuously been developed and informed by how the building performs. This integration has enabled the project to reach an integrated solution, where acoustics and daylight simulations became a
concept development tool, rather than a verification tool, simply confirming that predetermined demands are meet. Where the structure is an expression of the concept, and the conventional structural solutions is challenge through an atectonic expression. By creating a journey through the museum, the building becomes a temple for Hilma, where it is possible to experience the journey for Hilma, the buildings long shape protrudes through the landscape creating a monumental figure, on the waterfront of Lindinรถ towards Stockholm. By entering the building the variation of sensorial expression linked with the overall narrative adds a frame of presentation of the art, while the building itself leaves room for its own expression, forming a combination of art and architecture, where the otherwise technical demands are replaced by technical expressions.
