PhD. Project by Kristine Sundahl.
This industrial PhD together with Danish Fire and security Technical Institute is investigating materiality and wood in relation to fire.
The project is concerned with architecture seen as material assemblages and the vibrant materials constituting them.
Wood is analyzed through its relation to fire; their mutual capacity to affect and be affected by each other, in order to research a material agency, a material life.
To create a vocabulary of material life in architecture it is attempted to define a new concept; a concept material behaviourology.
