Abstract [en]

The societies of tomorrow are shaped by the skills and knowledge acquired today. Education is a human right for all that transforms lives when students grow as individuals, members of a community and world-changing global citizens. The project's premise started with an opportunity to do an 8-week field study with a KTH study grant to an organisation called United World College. UWC is a worldwide movement of international schools for students aged 16-19. Their motto is to make education a force that unites people, nations, and cultures for sustainability. With a young campus still in development, UWC Dilijan in Armenia became the thesis research's primary case study and host. The exploration of Hamlet lies in expanding the public space of the existing school campus to interact with the local community through the universal language of live performance (music, dance, and theatre). Through interviews, sketching and exploring the school's local context and surrounding vernacular environment, the village typology of a "hamlet" recurred as traces. Interpreting the elements of the vernacular became a way to anchor the programme, composition and materiality to the local context of Dilijan, shaping a space of coexistence.
