Earth Experience Olso Botanisk Hage Entrance Master work: Studio 1 Supervisors: Jeppe Anderson, Kathrine Strøm The project is inspired by the beauty and diversity of the plants and its expansion, dominance, direction and relation to the ground. The project emphasises on creating a vibrant public space in the intersection of botanical garden and toyen park. The two enormous green pockets in the city are detached by parking area and motorway. The project proposes new pedestrian connections and bike movements through a sunken gardena and open exhibition park area.

The sunken garden is excavating the existing parking ground and then creating little mounds as relaxation areas by filling with the cut out soil. The retaining wall holding the higher grounds works as an exhibit surface, which displays different roots and soils. The proposed plaza works as an extended entrance to the botanical garden.

Wet(ter) Landscape Strategy in Bengal delta
Master thesis project Supervisors: Giambattista Zaccariotto, Eric Reid Imagining a wet(ter) future, this project explores how landscape strategies can generate adaptive and dynamic livable spaces in the Bengal Delta coastline. The coastal area will gradually loose much of its land under the sea, forming a series of new islands due to sea-level rise. Millions of climate change refugees have begun to migrate to higher land, however it has been predicted that by the year 2100 approximately 5 million people will continue to live in the coastal delta. How can the local traditions be adapted so people can inhabit the future landscape of the delta? Finding itself placed upon an island in the delta, the project investigates the interplay between protective-productive landscapes, transportation infrastructure and urbanity.

Urbanizing Sierra Nevada with flower botanical garden Master studio 3 Supervisors: Luis Callejas, Mattias Josefsson, Bin Li Sierra Nevada contains most of the climate zones in Colombia and thus makes it a perfect platform to explore the possibilities of species invasion and adaptation along its different altitude.

12,2 m per decade
The four indiginous groups of the region believe that Sierran Nevada de Santa Marta is the bebating heart of the world. What happend there happens everywhere
With climate changing, most species shift upwards, to reach optimum temperature conditions
Grasses, herbs and short lived species shift the most in search for perfect temperatures and conditions. it can be predicted that endemic species are least prone to movement.
Movement of the species shuffles the most basic relationships in nature, between what plants are found where with what other plants. Distribution and size of the populations will change with an impact on functiong of the ecosystems and for humans who are dependent on them
At the same time there is the factor of soils at higher elevations being thinner and poorer in nutrions, might be inadequate to sustain species from lower elevations
A factor also affecting the response to cliamte change is the shape of the mountain (meaning how much room is there on different elevations)
Palomino river in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta could be seen as forecasting station for the responses of different species to climate warming
By implementing species from higher altidudes to lower systems, it can be observed how do the species respond in competion of flora from lower altitudes
few shuffle scenarios
the traveling system doesn`t survive
“traveling” ecosystem
ecosystem on higher elevations
adabtion to coexisting
the traveling species from lower alitudes takes over

There is little information on the affects of climate change from the tropics (for historical, political and economical reasons) though the tropics are the first to encounter historically unprecentened climates...

Zakiul Islam, Dr. Khandakar Shabbir Ahmed, Dr. Md. Shahidul Ameen, Patrcik D’Rozario Being a popular tourist destination, the town faces increased pressure of urban activities. The natural beach and resorts are the only recreational facilities. Hence there is a need for public recreational facilities. The proposed complex meets the recreational needs as well as offers a large dynamic and seasonal public park for the locals.

The idea of the project was to break the convention of concentric stadium structures that create centrifugal activities within the enclosed structure; by desiging a structure that communicates with the surrounding and proposes an eventful setting. The residual spaces outside the main event space are designed to be public plaza and spaces for ocassional seasonal festivals; while some of the terrain become part of the gallery.

The construction work will begin in fall 2022. The project started with historic research and urban analysis and the proposal is made after discussions with various authorities, including Riksantikvaren, Byarkitekt and Bymiljøetaten.

Memorial design Møllendal gravplass, Bergen Landscape architecture, Akasia On-going, under construction, 2019- 2022 Møllendal cemetery covers 135 acres and contains more than 26,000 graves. It was built on the grounds of Øvre Møllendal gård and inaugurated in 1874. The cemetery has been expanded several times in1891, 1909, 1987 and 1907. In 2019, there was an internal design idea competition for memorial with names (navnet minnelund) which concluded in selection of different ideas from different idea projects and a team of 2 landscape architects were chosen to carry out the design of the project. The ongoing plan of the memorial is for 800 names.
