The farm is located somewhere in the northern hemisphere, framed with pine woodlands, and the meadows. A shallow mountain river runs through the site, defining the two contrasting conditions: the cultivated landscape – and the wild outfields.

Seiersborg Tekstilfabrikk is situated in Fredrikstad city centre and is conveying the history of one of Fredrikstads most important industries, the TEKO-industry. It was constructed in 1917 and later on sold to Sandvika Veveri in 1990 which is interesting with transition in mind.
I’m reusing the spaces of the former submarine bunker dora 2 in Trondheim. Inviting the public to experience a new type of exhibition space, archive and art atelier. Juxtaposing a former war machine with contemporary programs.
By allowing the structure to be inhabited by a variety of programs, people and activities, it enables the city to reclaim the road bridge and strengthen its relationship with it. Our project explores the potential of combining the vehicle bridge with programs that focus on mobility, commerce and the community.
My intention was to be influenced by the history of the people and the land and its ecosystems cycle. To find a balance in use of materials and their users. My clear frame in this project has driven me to question architecture in its core. Can architecture be a locally sourced structure and serve all of the living and nonliving organisms in a balance with a history of a place.
«To Behold» is a project that is based on my own urge to collect, order, contain and/or display. My intention for this work was to attempt a beholding of a landscape, or small fragments of it, by creating a dialogue between the collected and the made, the landscape and myself. Discovering how the collected and made relate to each other, long for each other or invite others in.
Our site is in Tromsø, a city characterized by a short summer season, occasional hefty winds, long winter season with huge amounts of snow, and the polar phenomena midnight sun, northern lights, and polar night.
In the summer the dominant wind direction is north-west. The building volume is shaped like an arched wall to create a sheltered outdoor area in the south, and are never more than 4 storeys tall to avoid blocking the sun or the view towards the fjord and mountains.

The ambition for this diploma came from the desire to explore the relationship between public and private space. How they sometimes intertwine, in special ways. The intention was to investigate shared spaces, with a focus on intimacy. To make a public place where someone can exist as an individual, while having a mutual understanding with the other inhabitants that they co-exist in the same space.
The project address both public and intimate spaces outside the private sphere, in a neighborhood library close to the city centre of Oslo.
