Course content
The studio starts 18th January and ends 5th June
The semester project will be the design of a holiday house in a Norwegian landscape.
The discourse of the studio will concern themes that have a special standing in Norwegian architectural production:
Nature as a cultural phenomenon
Nature as narrative
Nature as facts
Nature as a source to architectural content and quality
An important reference in the studio will be Norwegian landscape painting represented by the work of Lars Hertervig (1830-1902) and the studio will start with explorations of Hertervig's landscape paintings and the establishment of individual sites on the basis of these studies.
The design process will be divided into distinct phases from idea- to detailed project with collective reviews in connection with each phase. an important element in the studio will be the question of how the qualities of the site will influence the architectural decisions: the choice of structure and materials and the design of spatial configurations and qualities.
The studio will explore how varying representational methods are suited for different focuses in the design and there will be emphasis on work in large scale models and image production. There will be exercises related to model making and image production led by external tutors.
