In the end of Schweigaards gate in Oslo, there is a long and narrow site right next to the train tracks. The apartment building sits on a terrace looking over the trains and towards Ekebergåsen. Like the tracks, the building forms a gentle curve. A space is left where the residents and neighborhood can enjoy the terrace and view to the south. The terrace and apartments are reached from tall passages, leading in from the street. The key qualities to the apartments are those given by courtyards and loggias that punctuate the building.

The site is in the rolling hills of the midlands of Kerala, a state on the south western coast of India. The chosen site is in a small rural village of Chellakkappady which only has a population of around 1500 people. The main purpose of the Palliative and Dialysis community centre is to improve and aid medical access to the ageing population of Kerala especially around the rural midlands of Central Kerala.

The concept of the border/bordering is analogous to the concept of other/othering. The town of Most in Czechia is a place of transformation and liminality. Located at the northwestern edge of the lignite-mining region of Sudetenland, this place is significant due to the radical changes that the adjacent border has had on its culture and its landscape. The aim of this thesis was to extend the typical definition of nature by linking it with the cultural and political history of a place.

Our initiative for this project started with an interest in how we could work with a landscape, create a unique, more locally based architecture. We chose a site in Lofoten close to Svolvær in Vågan municipality. The site is deemed for housing development in stages. In large scale, 2-300 units over the next 5-10 years.

The project is a new elementary school in the dense neighbourhood Bervens Løkke in Oslo. The requirements for the school programme should accommodate spaces for a wide range of activities within a limited collection of spaces.
 
The definition of the space can be thought of a space machine. It was made up by individual parts which are compactly and concisely operated. They preserve their independence and are defined at the same time by their coherent structural context. The result of this condensation is the utmost increase of the spatial complexity.

Housing in Oslo is becoming increasingly more expensive. Recently many people fall between, not earning enough to buy and not qualifying for financial assistance. Oslo Kommune has been working on an alternative housing model and In may 2019 they announced the start of a third housing sector. The plan is to fund initiatives exploring alternative housing types like collective housing and urban strategies that help the local communities and create social meeting places.

The intention of the project is to create a knowledge Center for Norwegian Jewish History and Culture in the historic Jewish complex in Calmeyers street 15. It consists of an apartment block from the 1890s and a synagogue from 1921, two buildings that lost their residents during the deportations in the fall of 1942.
 
The purpose of the center is to communicate and deliver Norwegian Jewish history and culture to the public. As a Norwegian Jew, I hope that sharing such knowledge will reduce prejudice.

As life expectancy increases and people maintain good health longer we have a large group of the Young-Old, elderly freed from the responsibilities of adulthood and childhood, and largely unconstrained by physical and mental disabilities. Current requirements for healthcare will be demanding in the future both economical and with human resources. How can we make people live longer in their own homes and make community benefit from their life experience, knowledge and time?

Miniature Megalopolis considers an urban and geographic entity in the north east part of Oslo - the valley usually referred to as Groruddalen. Sitting as a hinge between Oslo and its hinterland, the area is a complex jumble of industry, cars, noise and messiness, interrupted by slender chimneys and the massive banana slabs, superlamellas and pyramid blocks of the satellite cities. Green patches of sport fields, agriculture, lawns and meadows provide breathing space.

Since the decision to fully automate the lighthouses along the Norwegian coast almost half of them have become protected according to the law of cultural heritage. However, local interest and initiative is the biggest contributor to keeping most of them preserved today.  Unfortunately an increasing number of people continue to move away from rural areas, and even more so from island communities where so many of these lighthouses are located. Which begs the question, what happens to the lighthouses when the locals are gone?
