Om emnet

For many, the pavilion is a contested building task. As its function tends to be limited and its construction less durable, the pavilion may be criticised for its use of resources. However, it may also be a testbed for new architectural ideas and for solutions that are not (yet) possible in commercial contexts; it may explore potential future building techniques or resource applications; it may exhibit these to both the professional world and to the broader public; and it may create new professional networks. Furthermore, both the building material sourcing and scenarios for subsequent uses may be active and conscious part of the conceptualization and design of the pavilion.

This course is a continuation of fall 22 semester’s course “Re:Source Pavilion”, but can be taken independent of previous participation.The first course established and tested principles to re-use wooden construction materials in a number of design proposals, their iterations and 1:1-mock-ups. During the upcoming spring semester, one of the designs will be collaboratively advanced further for being built and exhibited parallel to the World Conference on Timber Architecture 2023 in Oslo.The pavilion’s demountability and reassembly for reuse in a different context will be part of the task.

Special focus is directed towards the implication of “disregarded” wooden materials for architectural design and constructive solutions. “Disregarded” wooden materials include cut-offs and cut-outs, materials found on waste sorting plants, pre-used materials from buildings soon-to-be demolished or erroneous deliveries. Specifically, the focus is on joining smaller members or members of varying sizes to larger load-bearing elements or to indoor and outdoor planes and surfaces.

Læringsutbytte

Knowledge:

  • about timber properties and how they impact design, construction and detailing
  • about state-of-the-art timber techniques as tested and displayed in international timber pavilions
  • about timber construction systems and details

Skills:

  • Use of physical models, sketches, drawings and 3d-programs
  • Communicate with engineers, producers, and develop solutions together

General competence:

  • Coherence of general architectural ambition, concept, material choices, design, construction, details
  • Collaboration with student teammates and consultants in various constellations
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

Group work in various and varying constellations, project supervision, lectures, workshops (some at the construction hall, somewith a special focus for supervision), excursion, smaller tasks along the project task (such as an exploratory exercise, analysis of precedent projects, lecture report).

Excursion: This is not decided yet, but we are discussing the option to travel to Japan.

 

Pensum

Course literature will be available in Leganto.
