an architectural project is a work of
imagination
words play a big part in it
poetry can play with words, with the
imagination less violently, less restraining
it offers a space of freedom
freedom to add, to be, to create
all creative practice needs the courage
to add, to be, to create
to imagine what is not already present
or what is, though it does not let itself
capture in words
this is my starting point
the project is an exploration
of poetry
in the search of architecture
he strategy is to extend the local intentions of the international research initiative, Climate-Ecological Observatories of Arctic Tundra, to communicate their climate change findings. I extend their strategy by 1) designing new modes for communicating the research produced, and 2) expose the abundance of approaches and knowledges on nature held by local actors, highlighting competing perspectives on the relationship between people and nature.
This project, however, investigates the architectural relationship between the differences of three dance-specific studios:
A studio for choreography
A studio for partners
A studio for the independent
Through analyzing, interpreting and attempting to understand these categories of dance, this project aims to produce an autonomous architectural response in construction, material and space, informed by the distinct qualities of these different ways of dancing.
Moving to adapted housing can provide a feeling of independence that individuals may have lost due to illness. This can provide an increased sense of safety in everyday life and easier access to social interaction with others. Environmental treatment offered at home by care-givers, as well as adapted physical surroundings, can make living with dementia easier.
This project addresses the current lack of accommodation for students in Oslo by injecting a student housing project into an existing gap in an urban block in Tøyen. The student house consists of four collectives separated by floors.
These open for a social and physical way of sharing and gaining from other students in similar life situations, with spaces ranging from completely private to completely shared. Alongside the student housing program, is a shared space for the residents of the block.
The two terminal buildings on the aerial tramway between Bjørvika and Ekeberg are structures that share the same DNA, and they must be born at the same time in order to fulfil their purpose. One is located on a dense urban site, one in the forest overlooking the city. The two plots allows for an exploration of symmetry, repetition, variation and ordering systems; one vertical, one horizontal – yet the structures make up the two halves of a whole.
Despite the central position of T. I. Øgrims plass, it is a space which is hidden and relatively unknown. The space lacks certain urban qualities and appears more as a backside than a public space.
The aim is to enhance the character of the existing area by adding new buildings which can better define the space and make it more attractive.
This project has been an exploration into the transformation of a challenging and complex urban space through analysis, volumetric studies, and finally an architectural project.
As for all cities with four seasons, including Oslo, winter driving with a motorbike is a rare thing to do. Many people with motorcycles don’t have the space or opportunities to store their bikes in the winter.
Therefore many chose to pay a motorcycle dealership to store their bikes there.
In this project I will create a motorcyclists' Centre which will address the social and practical needs of Oslo's motorcyclist' community.
