Recommended prerequisite knowledge: Working knowledge of hand-drawing/sketching, Adobe InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop, CAD (Civil 3D). Basic 3D modelling and GIS experience an advantage

Om emnet

This studio takes the local Lofoten initiative to become part of the UNESCO Biosphere as a point of departure. The students will develop projects that can support and promote sustainable development in the region with a particular focus on ecology and practises in the landscape.

Launched in 1971, UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) is an Intergovernmental Scientific Programme that aims to establish a scientific basis for the improvement of relationships between people and their environments.

MAB combines the natural and social sciences, economics and education to improve human livelihoods and the equitable sharing of benefits, and to safeguard natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate, and environmentally sustainable.

The studio will run parallelly and collaborate closely with the new theory course «Ecology for landscape architecture». This combination will inform the students in defining their design programs within the scope of the studio. The teachers of the ecology course will also tutor in the studio- work and be part of group reviews.

The Arctic face climate and industrial changes that affect the ecosystems and the human settlements. The knowledge and know-how that is produced by studying these changes closely where they happen transfers to a more general range of landscapes across the world.

Læringsutbytte

Knowledge: Local knowledge and site-specific project work will provide and produce knowledge especially on ecology concerning spatial conditions and human practices in the landscape, with particular focus on sub-arctic conditions included the northern social and political context for the practice of landscape architecture.

Skills: The studio seeks to develop the students’ ability to acquire knowledge and develop their sensitivity to input from site, science and culture as well as the specific local context. The studio aims at training the skill to make this knowledge instrumental to the development of strong concepts and design proposals with artistic quality. The studio will work with drawing/sketching, digital tools, physical models and presentation/communication of ideas/designs.

General competence: The students are expected to learn how to use their knowledge and skills to conceptualize, coordinate and execute integral designs rooted in the specific local context and the knowledge of human-made and natural systems with special awareness of approaches to development that is ecologically sustainable and socially and culturally appropriate. The studio aims to develop an awareness and critical reflection on topics that contribute to the general professional and public discourse and to position their work in relation to this.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The students will work with chosen localities in Lofoten and the themes described above. The studio will work with models, mapping, visualisation tools and design development. The students will also be involved in on-site field investigations at localities in Lofoten with a planned study-trip/site visit during the cod-fishing season in February. This field-work will also include collaboration with the ecology teachers as well as other scientists at the University of Tromsø.

The studio will also include a ten-day study-trip to Canada where students will engage in fieldwork on ecological systems together with landscape architecture students from The University of Calgary. The trip is supported financially by funds from The Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education.

The course is part of the Tromsø Academy of Landscape and Territorial Studies and requiers that the students live in Tromsø for the duration of the course.

Om emnet

An introduction to ecology for landscape architecture.

The terms ecology/ecological will be examined and defined. The focus will be on how ecology as science has relevance for landscape architects as inspiration, information and qualification in their work and their design.

Fundamental ecological theories, terms and concepts describing different plant types or plant forms, including their traits, coupling to soil, soil organisms and ecological function, are central to the course. It will be emphasized how ecological function is linked to plant form and thus how design based on plant form has a link to ecological function.

The course will also introduce the term biodiversity, including examples of how biodiversity is an integrated part of ecosystems and essential for ecosystem services. Examples of naturally vegetated areas in cold climates and borders towards these will be given particular focus.

Teaching and learning are centred on lectures, oral assignments, small laboratory and phytotron-based project work and includes training in and introduction to:

What is ecology
How plant form and function is linked
How plants, soil and soil organisms are coupled
Design and ecological interpretation
Biodiversity
How biodiversity, ecosystems and ecosystem services are linked

In addition, a significant amount of the course will be focused on the interpretation of existing landscape architecture projects, how they have integrated ecology and how ecology can be integrated more.

The course will work in close collaboration with the parallel studio course “Lofoten Biosphere” and give ecological input applicable to the project. The integrative approach of both courses will be supported by tutoring and participation in group-reviews for the studio project by the teachers.

Om emnet

Background

The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) currently resides in Maridalsveien 29. Since moving there in 2001 both the organisation and the number of students has increased by roughly 250 to a total of 650 people. The school, now filled to the brim with employees and students, has begun to feel an ever-increasing pressure upon its premises. In addition, politicians and authorities have for a long time made plans for a new art university, a merge between KHIO, AHO and Musikkhøyskolen. Some claim this scenario is put on ice, while other say it is just a matter of time before the schools are merged together.

Challenge- what's at stake.

A lot of work has been done to investigate how these challenges can be met. In order to broaden the discussion, AHO Futures- School of tomorrow wish to operate beyond the immediate needs of the school in and explore freely how the institution can change and adapt to the future. How can the premises be developed? How is the relation to the city.

Urban strategies: A part of the studio will be to develop urban strategies for the school. These will be translated into specific architectural proposals
Integration: The school’s location by Akerselva is in an environment of buildings and landscape with various levels of listing. The urban context is transformed and in transformation. How can the institution integrate (or not) architecturally and professionally, what components does it consist of? What and who is it relating to? Position in the city, separation vs unions of different professions.
Internal and external organization: We will develop alternative organigrams. Under this topic how architecture relate to pedagogics and aim for the role of the professions. What kind of spatial qualities and atmosphere should the future school of architecture and design have?

The goal is that this work can develop and establish visions for the future of the school through a variation of specific architectural responses.

Læringsutbytte

The course will provide skills/tools for formulating frames for a complex architectural proposal: What, for whom, where?

The course will provide tools for the translation from an overall intention to a more specific program for design; setting up a room program, controlling dimensions, relational diagrams, studying reference projects, identifying site specific conditions and possibilities.

Context: The course will provide experience in various contextual approaches: social, political, geographical, physical, energy, economy etc
Situation: The course will provide experience in several approaches to relationship between the project and place.
Program to project: The courses provide experience in translating program / intentions into architectural proposals with specific architectural qualities and atmospheres.
References: Students will during the courses become familiar with and analyse references.
Construction: Become familiar with constructive and technological principles and bring this into their proposals.
Process: Be familiar with various process tools, working methods and approaches.
Communication / presentation: The courses will provide experience in tools and techniques of presentation. Here, the development of narrative of the project will be crucial.
Multidisciplinary workshop: Be familiar on the input that may come from other disciplines. How do we involve both students and teachers from landscape and design

The courses will give experience in architectural representation relevant to the tasks at hand.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The course will be studio based. There will be teachers present at least 2 days a week and there will be individual and group tutorials, and course reviews.

The course will be divided in 2 parts:

1) FRAME(s) will deal with establishing the overall intentions. The intention is translated into specific ideas for interventions, choosing field of interest, programme, and setting up a world of relevant references both collectively and related to specific proposals.

2: PROPOSAL(s) Will deal with translation of FRAME into specific design proposals. In this phase there will be workshops with input and deliveries on specific topics: Intuitive models, Situation, Structure and Architecture, Material Philosophy, Essential detail.

The students may work in groups or individually.

Study trip:

Flight Rotterdam train Delft, Ghent, Paris, Nantes. Flight Paris – Oslo

Work to see(preliminary list) : Architect school Delft, Architect school Ghent, Versailles. School of architecture Nantes ENSA.

Pensum

As part of FRAME we will study relevant theory/ readings in Workshopform.

Kurset er anbefalt for studenter som tar tjenestedesign. En stor del av kurset er basert på norske forhold, derfor er kjennskap til norsk språk en fordel, men ikke et krav.

Om emnet

Kurset vil gi en introduksjon til design for offentlig sektor og handle om rollen, mandatet og nettverket til noen av de mest kjente aktørene i Norge.

Innhold:

Forelesninger, oppgaver, diskusjoner og arbeid med et bredt spekter av aktører fra den offentlige sektoren, samt designere og andre som også jobber innenfor offentlig sektor.

Individuelle oppgaver og lesing av pensum mellom forelesninger.

Kurset dekker følgende tema:

Introduksjon til offentlig administrasjon, ledelse og statlig styring: Introduksjon til konsepter og grunnleggende forståelse av offentlig administrasjon og tjeneste. Hvordan er de offentlige tjenestene organisert, levert og betalt? Hvordan oppstår nye tjenester? Hvilken effekt har det bestående styrende paradigmet på design og leveranse av offentlige tjenester?

Brukervennlighet: Hva betyr dette for offentlige instanser? Hvem er brukerne?

Hvilke reguleringer legger staten på ledelse og administrasjon når det gjelder brukervennlighet? Håndtering av etiske spørsmål og personvern i offentlige innovasjons prosjekter, samt sensitive personopplysninger og lovverk i helsesektoren.

Brukerundersøkelser: Hva vet vi om brukeren/borgeren? Hvordan utvikle og trekke ut kunnskap om brukeren og samhandlng med offentlige instanser? Hvilke kilder er tilgjengelig for innsamling av data?

Offentlige anskaffelser: Hvilke aktører er relevante (Innovasjon Norge, Difi, DogA, Forskningsrådet), hvordan samarbeider de, hvilke lover gjelder for offentlige anskaffelser innen nyskapning? Hva fremmer og kjennetegner denne nyskapningen og hvilken rolle kan design spille?

Innovasjon i kommuner: Introduksjon til Samveis metodikk. Introduksjon til evaluering av påvirkning, verdiskapning og samspill mellom dette og tjenestedesign.

Innovasjon og ledelse:Eksempler på kultur og tradisjon. Introduksjon til "Stimuleringsordningen" og liknende tjeneste- innovasjonsprosjekter initiert av staten.

Innovasjon i Staten:Hvordan design blir brukt i offentlig sektor på internasjonalt nivå gjennom f. eks. "labs" La27e Region i Frankrike, MindLab iDanmark, Policy Lab i England, Laboratorio de Goberno i Chile, Grounded Space i Canada) for å sammenlikne "the Scandinavian way" med andre land.

Digitalisering som verktøy for innovasjon i offentlig sektor, f.eks. velferdsteknologi.

Læringsutbytte

Studentene vil få en forståelse av hvordan utvikling av offentlige tjenester skjer i dag, og hvordan denne skiller seg fra utvikling av kommersielle tjenester. Rollen design kan ha som støttespiller i offentlige prosesser og i å utvikle effektive, bærekraftige og brukerorienterte tjenester, vil bli utforsket i kurset.

Forkunnskapskrav

Admission to AHO and successful completion of three years bachelor level studies (180 ECTS).

The course is open for all students on Master level. Since most of the archive material is in Norwegian we will make a prioritization that ensures that a considerable part of the students command a Scandinavian language.

Om emnet

This elective will pursue archival research to investigate the building history of the Munch Museum in Tøyen, designed by architects Myklebust and Fougner and completed in 1963. The work will culminate in an asBUILT publication. The book will cover the entire life span of the building, from its inception, after Edvard Munch bequeathed his estate to the city of Oslo in the 1940’s, to its final phase through its fifty-five-year history as a museum and research institution. The book will use the building as a lens for investigating cultural and political decision-making in post-war Oslo. Moreover, as well as a commentary on the contemporary drive towards centralization of culture manifest in the decision to move the museum to Oslo’s newly developed harbour area in 2019. Just as other notable examples of post-war architecture in Norway, the Munch Museum stands on the threshold of an uncertain future and the book will aim to raise awareness of the qualities of the original design and the historical importance of the building.

The material available in the archives span the entire procurement and construction processes, including early tender documents; specifications; original and annotated drawings documenting extensions in successive interventions; correspondence between the architects, the city and the museum’s director, and extensive reference material from museums around the world. These physical and material archives are a treasure throve of historical evidence and offers a unique insight into how the building was conceived, amended, expanded and ultimately left behind in the political processes of the last decade.

Læringsutbytte

The course will provide students with the methodological tools for sorting and analysing large quantities of archival material, employing scholarly methods, writing about architectural history, curatorial conceptualization, exhibition history, analysing modernist architecture, as well as lending valuable insight into the processes of planning a publication.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The aim for the course will be to organize and disseminate the vast information embedded in the archives and attempt to present the most telling pieces of evidence. The course is seminar-based, involving lectures, presentations and discussions. The students will work individually with archival material, interviews, and investigations into the structure. Part of the deliverables for each student will be to write an essay and to create a tableau of items based on a selection of specific objects in the archive, to tell a story of the life of a building through forensic exemption of archival fragments. The course will also revisit the work produced by the Re Store Studio in the spring semester of 2017, which featured analysis of the building and its immediate context, as well as a multitude of visions for its potential future use.

Om emnet

“In architecture books we are bombarded with statistics confirming the ubiquity of the urban condition,

while the symmetrical question is ignored – what are those moving to the city leaving behind?”

Rem Koolhaas, ICON Magazine September 2014: Countryside, “Koolhaas in the country”

This year’s Re Store studio course will continue to creatively analyze and transform existing buildings. The studio will move out of the city to investigate disused buildings in rural Norway. The countryside is a rapidly changing environment that is often overlooked by architects. Critiquing the tendency to romanticise abandoned buildings as nostalgic markers of a bygone era, students will delve into the subject’s material, spatial, and operational qualities. Forensic examination of obsolete architecture will be the first step to understanding the building´s value as an asset to its context. Engaging with the history of the site, both architectural and social, we will re-imagine a future use through deconstruction, repurposing and recycling. Re Store - Field Work studio will collaborate with Tristan Boniver from Rotor, a cooperative design practice based in Brussels that investigates the organisation of the material environment. (http://rotordb.org/)

Seen purely through the lens of the market driven economy, the Norwegian countryside is being kept alive on life support. The agricultural sector contributes to less than 1% of the gross national product and only 1% of the country’s working population is employed in agricultural industries. In Norway however, the countryside is a cultural anchor situated at the core of the nation’s origin myth and identity. Hence, the agricultural industry acts as a conduit for the funnelling of state funds from an increasingly centralised government to the periphery through subsidies. This in turn means that the vast majority of farms are sustained for a sociocultural purpose rather than for a commercial one. This situation is precarious and, financially speaking, unsustainable in the long run. Since the turn of the century, around a third of the agricultural businesses in Norway has closed down, leaving millions of square meters of buildings obsolete and vacant.

The studio will work with the most commonly found building across the Norwegian countryside, the ‘combined unit barn’ (Enhetslåve in Norwegian). The result of nationwide land reforms during the mid-nineteenth century, all these buildings were centrally designed by seven architects. Locally built and refined, the structures were initiators of modernity in rural areas of Norway. The barns were buildings that engaged with the landscape in the most direct way possible, as organisms receiving the growth of the soil and then converting it into fodder, which in turn went back into the fields as manure. This cyclical process, and its refinement over time, shaped the cultural landscape of Norway into its current form.

Designed as large mechanical operations with each floor of the building catering towards a specific part of the nutritional circle, these barns were in effect highly mechanized instruments for a more rational way of farming, resulting in a much greater yield. Advancements in industrialised farming through the twentieth-century led these agricultural structures to became superseded technology. Too expensive to maintain or demolish, today these places of production have come to a standstill. They are now (mere) objects in the landscape they previously formed. The studio will cultivate universally applicable approaches for re-use and transformation of these obsolete giants by activating their finely tuned relationship to the surrounding context and harnessing the potential in their tectonic composition.

The Enhetslåve at Billerud Farm in Toten, an area well known for its agricultural output and fertile soil, will serve as the case study for the studio. The building is a model example of the typology. The barn is not in active use and the studio will have access to it throughout the semester. The farm at Billerud is an old farm with houses dating back to the 18th century and the main manor house is a fully listed building containing wall murals by the landscape painter and decorator Peder Balke (1804-1887). The visionary painter was not only a romanticist but an interpreter of landscapes through memory and repetition. The studio will make use of a wide range of perspectives in its approach to Billerud Farm. From local history and natural history to the study of contemporary ideas concerning the development and future of the rural countryside. Students will reside in the area for several weeks throughout the semester and will actively be a part of the ongoing discussions with local stakeholders about the future of the building. The studio will address the question of how history, mythology and memory can inform the transformation of well-known architectural structures.

Læringsutbytte

Approaching the re-use and transformation of existing structures at varying scales.
Formulate individual architectural proposals based on close observation and analysis of present conditions.
Analyze and adapt existing infrastructure to develop operational forms of architecture.
Utilizing precise surveying technology in both analogue and digital form.
Engaging actively with real stake holders including community groups, local municipality, and heritage authorities.
Learning how to navigate and write requirements and regulatory framework.
Experiencing historic craft methods and Scandinavian vernacular building tradition.
Reading basic theory on typology and preservation.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The studio will lend considerable attention to to understanding context through fieldwork. Students will be expected to stay in Toten and work on site for parts of the semester, including but not limited to, one week at the beginning of the semester and two weeks during the studio excursion week. The region is around one and a half hours’ drive north of Oslo along the largest lake in Norway, Lake Mjøsa. The local municipality will be a stakeholder in the project and will contribute with lodging, work facilities and local expertise.

The studio does not consider research to be a separate exercise from propositional thinking, rather, it asserts that the act of surveying is propositional by nature and therefore inherent to design thinking. The studio will work with precise structural and material analysis of the existing building. The initial survey assignment will combine physical sampling with digital recording.

The analysis will lead to the making of a physical fragment of the building at a detailed scale. The fragment model is a physical and material manifestation of an essential component or junction. The fragment interprets the primary modular node in the structural logic of the building, an intersection containing the main material ingredients or a composition which captures specific tectonic qualities.

Projects for the re-use of the Enhetslåve will be developed through large-scale material models and architectural drawings throughout the semester. Learning from what has already been built, traditional craft will inform contemporary construction methods. Rather than looking for the answers in niche programming, the studio will aim to develop applicable and universal approaches.

The designs will be informed by reading contemporary theories on the current cultural and political development of rural areas and the countryside. There will be a lecture series running through the whole semester on preservation and the history of agricultural systems.

The studio will work with other architects, archaeologists, historians, agronomists, planners and engineers. Workshops on digital surveying and building in historic environments will be held with Architect Jacob Schroll from Gamle 3 Hus (https://gamle3hus.no/). Writer Tore Engelsen Espedal and Artist Johannes Engelsen Espedal (http://www.johannesespedal.com/) will also be active participants.

When in Oslo, students are expected to work in the studio. Teaching will consist of twice-weekly desk tutorials, seminars, pin-ups and reviews with invited critics. Students are expected to be active participants, to attend all trips, studio meetings, pin-ups and reviews, while keeping up with a rigorous level of production. The studio will be evaluated by assignments and participation, and judged as “passed” or “not passed” (according to AHO regulations for master studies).
