Seaweed is one of the most unexploited natural resources on the planet. Norway has a large and rich occurrence of this re-growing resource and it can be turned into an important source of income for costal communities.
The location and the topography around these communities vary, but a common challenge is the difference in the tide. The scheme is therefore based on the production line and the idea of the building as a bridge between the ocean and the infrastructure on land.
The undulating terrain facilitated the construction of an infrastructure of tanks -water bodies held by earthen embankments- to collect monsoon water runoff. Built encroachment on low grounds and tank beds has resulted to the present day problematics of urban water inundation in the city.
The project aims to develop a design and a method for planning the landscape around a psychiatric Institution, which will benefit the patients in their recovery process from various mental illnesses.
This diploma will look closer at the relationship between the built and the natural environment that is surrounding us and how it can be designed to have positive effects on our mental state and also support healing from various mental illnesses. The site that I am working with is Åsgård psychiatric hospital in Tromsø.

The project allows for a diversity of new productive and generative natures to emerge by carbon rebalancing on a post-industrial site, while also introducing commercial, scientific, recreational and educational amenities. Throughout the project, time, climate and ecological processes inform the design outcomes.
The library’s role is to preserve and convey their collection. Today it is accessible trough events that primarily takes place in the physical library. They have a website where the collection is available. If you know what to search for.
We propose a strategy where we envision modules for content production and storytelling that can enrich the front page and give a wider and more visual view to the archive as a whole. But also other areas of the site can be enhanced with interlinked and related material.
Our collaborative partner VisitOslo wanted help facilitating for good experiences in Oslo and to engage young travelers in a new way.
For young travelers it is important to discover new destinations freely and independently, without missing out on the local experiences of a destination.
In this diploma we have explored new solutions to meet the expectations of both our target users and service provider. Through “The Oslo Experience” we make sure that young traveler’s experience is enhanced by discovering the local treasures of the compact city.

One big challenge for the parents, teachers and caregivers is collaboration and communication. They often use a notebook to record the daily situation of the person with autism, exchange information and collaborate with each other. Information often get lost and can’t be exchanged efficiently through the book. This prevents them from helping the person with autism improve his/her life.
