Sports and physical activities inevitably play important roles in the society. It has the ability to let people communicate and interact, regardless of language barriers, reiligion or socio-economic background. Physical activities are also closely related to bigger themes such as public health, integration and inclusion. My impression is that easy accesible facilities for activity not only improves the public health. It also holds a huge potential for contributing to attractive, social sustainable neighborhoods.
In 1962, two new buildings were built in Drammen a modern hotel and a new courthouse. Today, both buildings have reached the end of their current use leading to one being replaced and one being abandoned.
Could living in smaller spaces with access to shared spaces and shared functions foster a sense of community and provide a viable option to the present housing crisis?
This diploma investigates how shared spaces, shared functions, and architectural qualities in small spaces might result in more affordable housing in the center of Oslo. By considering collective housing, you may establish a community while creating smaller apartments with access to bigger shared facilities.
The project consists of three buildings on a selected site in Gamle Oslo:

The project deals with housing for humans in a parking house structure: Sannergata 14.
Among the fundamental strategies for a green future in architecture is a commitment to discover hidden potential in what is already built. Parking houses above ground inside the central parts of Oslo are long on their way to becoming anachronisms as the private car is politically pushed out of the city center. The aim of this spatial investigation is to identify architectural quality, as a means to outweigh the alternative of demolition.

The primary research question led to the thesis Munch Philharmonic. This project suggests reopening the former Munch Museum to the public by restoring and reprogramming it and creating a new Concert Hall in Tøyen connected to the existing structure. Together they form a symbiosis where the former museum acts as front of house, home to two smaller stages for diverse use, and the new extension provides a main hall for classical music.
Iranian vernacular architecture is today among the inspiring resources of climatic and sustainable design. These architectural design considerations led to a variety of typologies and architectural elements that were specifi cally driven from climatic conditions, available resources, and craft in the district and climatic zones they were in Iran.
The environmental impact of the building industry accounts for a large extent of the world´s greenhouse gas emissions . Architects must therefore rethink how to design the built environment.
The diploma deals with the urban condition and its continuing character. A large part of our environment today is naturally comprised of housing. Housing then becomes the primal mass and face of our cities. It forms the public space, streets and squares.
