‘Cognitione’ describes the comprehension of visual sensations in art, created by one’s mind. The architects at AART have achieved the blurred addition of the Culture Yard, in Elsinore, Denmark, by use of cognitione, “visual hallucinations”. The historical site of the Culture Yard, is similarly the focus of this contemporary and striking complex. Past and present structures are easily decipherable from an exterior view, however blurred together upon entrance. The building amalgamates the industrial society, part of which once worked on the shipbuilding yard, with today’s fast paced culture of streaming information. Concert halls, conference rooms, exhibition spaces, a library and a museum all occupy the seamless yet multifaceted community centre.
