PERSONAL PROJECT - RINGER I VANN January & February 2018 // Oslo, Norway In collaboration with Borhaven Arkitekter and Fjord IngeniĂ¸rer Team: Axel Borhaven, Martin HĂĽskjold Larsen In Oslo, Norway, we participated to an open competition for a small floatting sauna. We were finalist. I was in charge of the illustrations and diagrams. Softwares: Archicad, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign

The starting point for our concept is that the sauna should float on the water, according to the competition brief. We choose to give the floating elements a prominent role as an opportunity to find a distinctive architectural design. We choose PE pipes, used in the numerous fish farms along the Norwegian coast. In addition to having sufficient buoyancy and being easy to lug after the boat, the fisherman have also the most accomplished of all forms: the circle. It became a formal starting point. Swimming and bathing is a social phenomenon in an almost archaic way. The atmosphere invites you to meet and contemplate. Going to the sauna has character of a cleansing process, one being clean both outside and inside. We wanted to reinforce the ritualized aspect of activity, where a cold bath or shower, bath tub, sink and relaxation redeem each other in a circular process. In the sauna, the benches can be in one or more levels, depending on the size of the sauna. This principle gives a steady distribution of the heat and the unifying form and encourages socialization. The cylinder shape is also the most effective, consider material use and heating. Since the new facility will accommodate more features, and have a capacity of up to 20 people, it could pose challenges to lift it on land for maintenance.The proposal solves this problem by dividing the facility into individual modules by function. For simplicity, we have limited ourselves to three different module sizes: Small (r = 1.5m), Medium (r = 1.75m) and Large (r = 2m). The modules can serve as saunas for 7, 10 and 15 people, respectively, or can be used for other functions. The central element will be a circular floating bridge, with a platform in the center to which the various modules are connected. In this way, it is formed intimately outdoor space protected against wind, and which binds the various parts of the sauna language together in a whole. Size and composition of the modules can be varied without that the concept is weakened. The idea is not dependent on all modules being built at the same time, so that the plant can be expanded according to the possibilities and needs, and the different modules mutual placement can be varied according to the location of the plant or the desired view.

The building method must be weather resistant and withstand the moisture that the ocean offers. In addition, it must be able to maintain warmth for efficient heating while being able to withstand water spills and large temperature changes and moisture stresses. The most traditional city style for saunas is the wooden house. Wood insulates quite well and is very moisture regulating: it is a living material, it will be adaptable. The floor is usually uninsulated so that water spills from steam and wash water do not flow into the insulation. Fast heating and high temperatures are the most important factor. Our construction is based on several of these principles and should be a permanent construction suitable for the ocean and supply the properties the sauna needs. The float bridge made of PE pipe welds together in short lengths which will provide an approximately round and connected construction. Using pipes from older farms that are transported to Oslo and welded on site, makes it a sensible and sustainable way to build the brew. Having a round construction will make it extra rigid and resistant to waves and movements. The shape also benefits from towing and shooting. The walls will follow the same fan shape pattern with studs equally spaced apart which simply creates the round shape. Between each stand, a play that can be pushed into place in the gap between the stems is adapted to close the structure, and will in principle constitute a solid element that will give a finished facade both inside and out. The windows are made by cutting one or more studs to the size you want and screw a 4mm plexiglas that will easily follow the curvature of the construction. Finally, the steel band will be tied around the entire circumference both up and down on the wall to tie the wall together. UTGANGSPUNKT

The roof is similar to the floor where the pattern is connected in the middle to a specially adapted steel fitting. The building principle is based on the fact that the latches are placed in fan shape between the struts and span up to the steel surface. When the roof is loaded, the bars will try to push the wall out. The wall's round shape with steel strips and latches fan shape gives an even horizontal pressure and prevents the walls from being squeezed out. For the saunas we isolate the ceiling by 10cm with airy roofing.This prevents heat loss and provides efficient heating. The other buildings need one to not insulate, since they should maintain a relatively small temperature and are not dependent on additional insulation.

The sauna's round shape is, after the language of language, initially a demanding construction to build. We'd rather say that it's an exciting way to build on. The principle is simple, but requires accuracy and good drawings. We as designers will be able to offer customized drawings and good construction management in place. Precise system and simple joints and principles give this project the opportunity to hire people with less experience.With good Norwegian profane spirit and cheap labor, one can reduce the cost of execution. As a separate attachment, material costs for "Rings in water" are included. The basis for this calculation is the configuration of two medium-sized saunas, two dressing rooms and a lounge.

We have obtained prices for carbonated wood, so-called flame retardants, and wish to use this in the bearing structures. The technique is Japanese and is known as "Shou Sugi Ban", but is traditionally used in Norway, for example, in pole docks. It will therefore fit well, both technically and associatively, into a seamless facility like this. For the decor we wish to use light untreated wood, for heat and contrast. Fall fuse around the pier and the like can be made with old fishing nets.

Other configurations will result in lower costs. The cost of construction with a contracted contractor is difficult to estimate, but we have received some contractors who have appreciated the entire project from 650,000 to 700,000kr in.mva. This gives us a total cost of the float elements of approximately 275,000kr in VAT and 50,000 kr for the veritas approval. As designers, we can cover relevant subject areas for free.This shows that the project is realistic as it is shown in the proposal.

SPACEGROUP - CABINS IN TVEDESTRAND October 2017 - January 2018 // Tvedestrand, Norway Team: Gary Bates, Peder Brand In Tvedestrand, Norway, a client asked us to work on the regulation plan of a plot she inherited. Softwares: Rhino, Vray, Illustrator, Indesign

A client once inherited a plot, in a charming area four hours driving south of Oslo. After some years, part of her terrain became NLF, â&#x20AC;&#x153;protectedâ&#x20AC;?, meaning it was possible anymore to built on it. She contacted our office to find a quick way to regulate the plot, in a way that she would be able to sell it to a promoter and at the same time be sure the final result will be respecting nature and have a certain quality. It was a case study for us, to try to use regulation as a design tool.

To empower the future buyers and show the value of each sites, we created a manual which includes the qualities of every site and its definition, and tools to use according to the matrix. For example if a site is too close to the hill and will get potential shadows in the afternoon, the solution is a rood terrace. Instead of regulating a simple height, we drew sections of the sixteen houses, oriented accoring the terrain, and will regulate from sea level to ceiling.

My position: I first started to read other regulations, to understand what we had to produce and design. We first needed to define clear boundaries of the site. In Norway most of the information related to properties are accessible online. Once this done, we contacted the city urban council, to start a dialogue and we sent a notification to the neighbors, public entities, companies related to the site by post and published it in the local newspapers.

I assisted to several meetings with the client -in norwegianto understand what she wanted. When we got her buisness plan, we started to work on a simple concept. It is not that often that plot that size are regulated without an important infrastructure, and we are still waiting for the city hall decision.

Instead of first drawing regular plots, and because of the dramatic topography of the site and its north orientation we choose to first place cabins. The cabins will be on two floors, to enhance views towards the sea and give roof terraces where the houses would have too much shadows. Once this settled, we thought about the road. The neighbor site will built a road and asked us if we were interested in working together for it, which will mean that the turn around would be on our site. After analysis we thought that it would be way more interesting for the site to be car-free and extend the parking down the site as the regulation allowed it. The fire department of Tvedestrand agreed and we developed the plan for the cabins further, creating two paths to access the cabins: a smooth one with a bridge, and another with stairs. We decided to experiment a different idea for the plots: instead of dividing the plot as a cake we made an offset of the footprint of the cabins of four meters, to be sure to keep a good distance, and regulated it. The circular shape came up while talking about the orientation of the building, to let the future clients choose. The cabins should be easy to built, and on pilotis, to avoid destroying too much the eco-system. They should be as light as possible. I drew several plans, with a BYA of 45m2.

SPACEGROUP + NLÉ - FOOTBALL ACADEMY February 2015 - December 2016 // Vitré, Ivory Coast Team: Gary Bates, Peder Brand and NLÉ In Vitré, Ivory Coast, a village once had a land. A Norwegian sport manager had contacts in the area and decided to start a football academy. Architects were contacted and soon proposed a solution that would not only educate football players but let the whole village benefits from it. Softwares: Autocad, Illustrator, Indesign

In the Ivory Coast, many young boys drop out of school in order to fulfil their dreams to become professional football players. Less than 5 % succeed. The remainders end up without an education or job. Spacegroup and Sport Consultant wanted to give talented football players the opportunity to both get an education and to fulfill their dreams to become professional players. If the boys don’t succeed as football players, they will have the opportunity to have a meaningful life off the pitch. By building a training and education centre, the idea was to give to the players the unique possibility to develop both football wise and educationally in a high quality environment.The young people, locally and in the region, will get the opportunity to use the facilities independent of football. The plan is to build a full scale training and education centre; school, administrative buildings, dormitories, four pitches, a training studio and dressing-rooms. Three pitches will be natural and one synthetic. It is a long term project.

My position: as the only french-speaking in the office I got the opportunity to talk to the actors in Cote d'Ivoire and establish a direct link, with less communication stress, between the companies involved in the process and inhabitants of the village we worked with. Even abroad, while finishing my studies, I sometimes was part of the process such as skype calls. Another task was to participate to the design of the master plan, which had alread started in 2014. As part of terrain was non-buildable we propose to use it for agriculture and keep the mangrov - threaten in the area. The site was challenging, in between sea and river, new train development and "zone de libre échange" (free trade zone). After deciding this, we made a buisness plan, to get investors onboard. Together with NLÉ we produced a presentation for meetings in Grand Bassam. A terror attack occured when part of the team was there and

SPACEGROUP - HAVNEPARKEN September 2017- January 2018 // Sandnes, Norway Team: Floire Daub, Aleksandra Popescu, Robert Wiwatowski, Saga Anderson, Javier Elvira Lopez In Sandnes, Norway, Spacegroup won several projects: the masterplan of the area called Havneparken, the design of several buildings, including a tower and the design of the new major public space: Ruten. Softwares: Revit, Illustrator, Indesign

Plan: The client, Kruse Smith, asked Spacegroup to design a housing block in Havneparken, the first of a serie of buildings. 72 flats, ranged from single bed housing to four bedrooms housing and large common areas. The idea was to create a module flexible enough to allow each client to design their own space.These modules would be produced abroad and re-exported.

Wood, composite, concrete, several options where explored together with the engineers and discussed at the office. The client had already a clear idea for the plans of the housing, since the company already had built other housing blocks before. Our goal was to create a nice atmosphere in this new area, and turn it into a new important core of the city.

My position: I started to work on this project as an intern, making collages for the public spaces for the model. Old school, the exercise was performed at the same time as volume studies.

At last, the common terraces and outside spaces were intended to be designed as places to meet. The weather in Sandnes is not all the time pleasant, and we worked on several ideas, of common gardens and veranda to optimize these spaces.

When I graduated and came back to the office I was asked to work on the public spaces, on the "utomhus design manual" for the city and on the concept of "5MC" (five meters city) which is the idea that the five first meters of buildings are the most important, since it is the space people interact the most with. For Oslo Urban Arena the office had already tried to implement this idea, converting a street in the Quadraturen into a pedestrian space. The research around this project included facade studies and a "first floor" study: how to create a flow, a pubic space where pedestrian, cars, bicycles would be able to coexist. A system of open public plaza, linking Ruten (the train station) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vagen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hanepromenaden and Skoplass, and internal streets and courtyards. By splitting the large-scale building first floor into smaller shops, understanding the need of the area we were able to create a table of activities to be sure the area will have all the tools to be attractive and lively. One of my task, was to use comic, since I already had made several at school, to tell our ideas to the client - in a workshop that last two days.

I started to explore concepts for the outdoor spaces through collages on the main model.

This project was not only an master plan. Since the first building was regulated, BFK2, and partly solved we worked on the facade. I made a facade study, to see if the "bader" the client really wanted to integrate couldn't become the identity of the building. One idea that emerged from our internal discussion was to see if it wouldn't be possible to have them in a transluscent material, which at night would give a different identity to the facade.

FELLES UTEOPPHOLDSAREAL

PSYCHOTROPIA Or the hospital of every consumption Ecole Nationale Supérieur d'Architecture Paris Val de Seine Year 5 (September 2016 - June 2017) Academic Work Critics:Alain Giheux & Catherine Rannou, written part supervised by Laurent Gaissad Awards: Exhibition meilleurs diplomes de l'ENSAPVS, Meilleur mémoire prix 2017 maison de l'architecture.

The discussion: Oslo 2016. Heavy drug users -mainly heroin- are gathering around a shopping mall called Gunerius in Oslo.They have been moving accross the city for the last five decades, pushed by the police. Norway has been for a long time the most repressive state in Europe - with up to 21 years of jail for consumption of illegal products. Now the mall is planned to be destroyed and replaced by a luxurious program developed by Thon, one of the major actor of Oslo. The written part of the thesis establishes a link between the shift of architects part of the counter-culture in the sixties, and absorbing the "care" culture today - and the evolution of our societies, through the example of psychotropics. Aimed as a critical gaze upon our profession, it is a processed of research, interviews and visits. Methodology: The first part of the year consisted of research, both theoretical and on the field. The first idea was to trace a narco-atlas: the wandering of drug users in the Norwegian capital. Several visits to associations taking care of the drug users - such as the FHN- lead to a better understanding of their situation. Visits to consumption rooms in Oslo, Copenhagen and Paris revealed the urge to get more of these places, and update their functions. Indeed, first planned to house injecting users, they are now mostly used by smoking users. Often working as loop, they track every single movement of the user, forgetting the importance of intimacy. Architectural solution start to emerge, to offer a consistent space. The semester ended with a first proposal: reuse the Gunerius, the spot where they meet, and keep it's consumerist purpose, but turn it into a "hospital of consumptions". Building: The Gunerius was built in the seventies, and was partly refurbished in the 90ies, and extended with a parking - which was supposed to be temporary. The design of the future building requires demolishing half of the quarter. What if instead of using energy on destruction, we could built on top of the existing building? The relatively simple structure and its flat surfaces could support different additions. Places to keep are mapped, both thanks to the archives found at PBE and mapping on site. It is a strong position, regarding the politics of growth in Oslo, with a tendency for "tabula rasa"

Conceived as a 2.0 public space, where the activities generating revenue such as shops, could give a certain percentage of what they earn and produce - heat, energyto sustain the "counter-culture", an upside-down world where every type of consumption would be allowed, from coffee to heroin, in different spaces. Instead of punishing, blaming, and creating a culture of "fear", the building would be the reflect of a yet to come evolution. An article of the sixties, Dope Academy, first published in “Outlaw”, an extra of the World Earth Catalogue, mentionned in Felicity Scott's Outlaw book is the base for the program. Showing briefly that the cause of death from drugs is often unclear, it proposes a “dope academy” split in three categories: Ashram, Hard Core and Pharmaceutical.

From then, norway became one of the most repressive states in western europe on the drugs policy. the maximum penalty for drug offences rose from six months imprisonment to 6 years, to 21 years -the maximum prison sentence for a crime under norwegian law. Drug users were forced to move, from the western part of the city to the eastern part, chased. this happened not only in scandinavia but all around the world, and today drug users remain a minority, a criminalized group victim of many abuse. an eternal journey began at the Slottparken and ended up at the bus stop of brugata and in the shopping mall "gunerius", owned by olav thon, soon destroyed to build another hotel. but what if it did not happen that way?

TERRITORIAL FRAMEWORK + STUDIO GO WEST National University Of Singapore Year 4 Semester 2 (August 2014 - November 2015) Academic Work Critic: Florian Schatz & Eric G L’Heureux

The discussion: If Nation was the word of the 20th century, City is the word of the 21st. Developing cities is a need. It is an emergency. The world´s population will by 2050 have increased from 7 billion people to 9.5 billion. Assuming half of it will live in cities, 1.125 billion people will be urbanized in our near future. That leads to 56 new cities with a population of 20 million or larger in 35 years, or 160 new cities with a population of Singapore. That is 4.5 new Singapores built every year or 2.5 new Paris Metropolitan Area. A speed that seems to demand that cities themselves become manufactured products. A frenetic rhythm that already has started, from Dubaï to Naypyidaw or Thianjin Eco-city, new cities pop up around the world. Cities copy other wellestablished models, and are now part of the frenetic consumerism, reproduction of one to another in space without history, or erasing the last memories of it. But to what extent can we imagine the Model of a city that would be reproducible, mass-produced and exported? This studio is an attempt to grasp the complexity of urbanisation, using two radically different cities, Singapore and Paris, as bases for experimentation. An understanding of the city is often limited to its physical boundaries though its sphere of influence and ownership of land often extends past this. And so here we first attempt to understand the actual territory of the cities, by which we question assumptions that force us to rethink urbanism, architecture and the nature of the world we live in. The urban models of both cities, visionary in their own right, have much to offer to the world. Both have similar capacities to accommodate high population densities and economic growth.Yet, while Singapore’s model of vertical compact urbanism (boasting 7,618 persons/km2) is lauded as one of the world’s best, Paris offers a unique model of horizontal ‘mat’ urbanism that carries 21,375 persons/km2, debunking the very myth that vertical urbanism trumps any other model of high-density development.

Methodology: We divided our analysis of these two cities into nine categories: Territory, Density, Infrastructure, Politics, Economics, Social, Nature, Urban Form and Building Typology. A pair of students had to explore a category and I got to dig into the Politics of Paris

and Singapore. The link between some categories and architecture may seem obscure, but the uncovered relationship was surprising. The City – a territory of experimentation, an assemblage of physical forms and geometries, and a set of codes that are ultimately invisible to the inhabitant. This invisibility fascinates. We thus go one step further to translate the uncovered relationships spatially into physical urban models of 1x1 meters. The subject of our model was « Hybrid of Paris and Singapore », and we mixed the cities into a 2x1 model.

Politics: Singapore and Paris spread their supremacy around the world through associations, embassies and trade and a thorough exterior diplomacy. But the internal politics differs, indeed an overall impression of the political structure of Singapore in comparison to that of Paris, Singapore exudes more control, a controlled society in terms of its political structure, its media and its building- and construction industry as well. While Paris seems to involve more of the people, allowing them to participate in the building of the city. Singapore claims to be a democratic society; but almost 80% of the government officials are from the dominant party – PAP. Looking at the urban structure and its planning, we can understand that administrative decisions are easiest to apply in Singapore - when you have the right connections- from permit application to urban planning, since the state owns 100% of the land and control of URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) and HDB (Housing and Development Board). In Paris, changes are slower, and citizens can easily break them down- through manifestations or interventions of the trade unions like it was the case for the Samaritaine. Politicians intend to control people through the space, trying to shape space where citizens can express themselves such as the speaker corner, or creating boulevards easily accessible for the Police in Paris. The citizens do not make mayor urban planning decisions in either of the cities but by the politicians, therefore their “right to the city” can be called into question, and it is precisely this question we dissect in the outcoming diagrams.

SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY

Above: We had to build up a model based on a theme, ours was "Hybrid of the best". For the first part we worked separately.To find out how it would be to combine the two cities I decided to try to work with densities, as it is a value that one can codify and create an algorithm from. I used the data we found in in the first exercise, 7,697/km2 for Singapore and 971/km2 for the entire Region of Paris. By inverting the density of population of Singapore into Paris and condense them into the existing plot, I got small foot print but tall towers.

MODEL OF THE BEST OF PARIS AND SINGAPORE

Double face model, on one it is Paris into Singapore and the other Singapore into Paris, based on the height regulation in both cities. With grasshopper we worked first on a 3D model before creating physical experiments. This sample was created using two areas of the core of both cities, the area of Saint Michel for Paris and the area of Clarke Quay, both popular and dense.

60 _________________________________________________________

MODEL OF THE BEST OF PARIS AND SINGAPORE

In pair we selected five areas in both cities, a vibrant street, landmark area, housing, social housing and finance district with the same floor area and importance. Then we first worked on the density and then at the street level and morphology of the city. Finally we studied street systems and combined the areas into a large plan, a hybrid of Paris and Singapore.

THE STOCKHOLM STUDIO - Pavilions Ecole SpĂŠciale d'Architecture Year 4 Semester 1 (February 2014 - June 2014) Academic Work Critic: Carl Fredrik Svenstedt

The discussion: Architecture as Culture, Urbanism through Architecture. The city is made of the buildings that constitutes it. Stockholm, superficially uniform, is in fact composed of singular, heterogeneous constructions spread across a marked terrain. For the past decade a series of prestigious competitions has tried to foster new signal buildings across this landscape, often as extensions of existing buildings of note. This ambition has confronted the contradiction of a culture of consensus, uncomfortable with individual expression, despite the eclectic urban heritage. The Stockholm Studio will use five of the major competition programs as fulcrums to explore the identity of this northern capital, its present and its future, its urban realm: the extension of the Asplund city library and of the Liljevalchs exposition hall, the new crematorium for the Woodland cemetery, the new architecture school, and, last but not least, the creation of a Nobel Centre in the heart of the city. A sixth competition, for urban pavilions, or kiosks, would be the first dish of this architectural smorgasbord, permitting the discovery of the city through its streets, squares and urban beaches. An architectural feast, then, putting the relative importance of the individual programs into perspective, in favour of a transversal reading of the cultural identity of the city. A trip to Stockholm included a pinup at the KTH architectural school of selected projects. I had the chance to present mine and therefore engage discussions with actors in the actual architectural projects under way.

THE STOCKHOLM STUDIO - Abba Architects Ecole SpĂŠciale d'Architecture Year 4 Semester 1 (February 2014 - June 2014) Academic Work Critic: Carl Fredrik Svenstedt Group work with: Axel Christian Borhaven

Stockholm in a parallel world: Axel and I would meet in a studio of architecture at KTH. We would start a long and fertile collaboration winning a lot of prices and among them the competition for the Lilvevalchs Gallery. But as it is known, architects don't have easy lifes and Axel would perish in his own building. Stockholm in a parallel world could be darker. Mama Mia. We decided to think about the five projects as a whole, as a story in which actions would happen, composed with cinematic spaces. Each one of them would house stories and plots, gossip would flourish in the common spaces. Our five projects were thought as an interaction with their context and at a larger scale the swedish capital. Since the methodology of the studio was to work on the five projects at the same time, we analyzed the program of each of them, did research and decided to start to work on KTH and the Nobel Prize Center - which was the only project not including any existing structure on the site. Even though the functions were different, both required atriums and large open spaces. Therefore we explored the typology of the stair as a means of circulation and as a meeting space.

GSEducationalVersion

We started to think the projects as original buildings to keep and rationalize, of functions to develop and meeting places to create. The grid was a start, since all the building had strong geometric shapes. We added and removed with the conscience of the problematic of authenticity. At the same time of this studio we both followed the seminar course "Ideology and Architecture", which strongly influenced us. The diagram above was a research for KTH, while the one below was an exploration of the grid for the extension of the Public Library.

Going through this process taught us the importance of the context and the existing architecture. Indeed for each projects our choice was to keep the existing building and incorporate it into the structure of the new one. We do not believe in the future with a past erased from memories, a tabula rasa. We believe in using the beauty of the past and adapt it to our needs.

OPENINGS

KTH was among the two buildings we started to work on, the other being the Nobel Prize Center. The two buildings helped us to define our main concept. Carving the existing long narrow building, we imagined a set of large stairs in each direction that would become the core of the school. (Re)designing KTH was for us the opportunity to create the school of our dreams. Axel was from Lund, I was from the Ecole Speciale that at the moment went through different problems, and had few spaces for students to work and socialize.

LILJEVALCHS ART GALLERY

SEA

REALIZE SITE POTENTIAL

While visiting the Lilvejalchs Gallery we were surprised by the location of the entrance. Indeed the access was from a small door on the west side of the building, having obviously been moved from the east side, where a café counld be found instead. The building itself was a nice piece designed by Carl Bergsten in 1916, but disappeared in the context. We designed to extrude a part of the building to connect it to the water, and break the sadness of the surrounding parking lot. The extension created a path trough art, a simple scenography with a strong cinematographic effect. Sequences of art would be exposed along the way which would end with a shaft of light over the sea.

SCENOGRAPHY AND MOVEMENT

The ramp would start from the ground floor of the Liljevalchs Gallery and would bring the visitor to an hidden café, replacing the old one. The café would then be connected to the ground floor with a ramp, on which sculptures can be exposed.

We choose to keep the existing crematorium by Asplund and improve the backstage of the building, where the cremations happen. It was a strong choice to plug a new structure to the existing one and it was hard to assume. We could not be too diagrammatic with this kind of function, but at the same time we wanted to build the less possible. Asplund created an amazing system to transport the body from the chapel to the crematorium and that was the main reason for us to build the extension there. We connected our addition to the chapel to keep this functionality. We had to add a new chapel, and connected this one directly to the machine with holes in the floor.

PUBLIC LIBRARY

KEEP THE EXISTING BUILDINGS

The existing public library of Stockholm is also a building designed by the architect Gunnar Asplund, and it opened in 1928. The main building is now an established landmark and we decided to keep it, as well as the three flanking buildings. We choose to link the existing buildings on the ground floor, to create an unobstructed path through the complex . Then we used the hill as an inspiration and created a move from the hill to the street, from the nature to the urban.

LINK THE EXISTING BUILDINGS

This connection took the form of large stairs, where the students can meet and work together. As we needed extra space we choose to condense the storage for the large book collection and use a machinery to make it more compact. It would be located in the building of the middle. A roof on the top of the structure would be added, giving to the roof of the existing buildings a new function, reading room and library space.

NOBEL PRIZE CENTER

CONTINUE THE SCALE OF THE CONTEXT

CREATE A COVERED PUBLIC SPACE

INTERN CIRCULATION AS COMMON SPACE

ADAPT TO THE LANDSCAPE AND CREATE PUBLIC SPACE

The Nobel Prize is a prestigious prize, recognized around the world and therefore needed a spacious space for its ceremony. But at the same time the competition brief asked for a larger programme, opened all year around and not for a single event. The programme was arranged in a single block, itÂ´s scale being derived from the neighbouring blocks. We decided to create an impressive interior and exterior by carving a stepped diagonal space through the block, dividing it in its public and ceremonial functions. A grand covered processional and social space is created in the void between them, with terraces overlooking the Baltic sea. By extending the first step of the block on the bottom we merged the Nobel Prize Center with the landscape, in order to integrate the beauty of the immediate maritime context.

Coursework

ESSAYS Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture (September 2013 - December 2013) Teacher: Brent Patterson Personal work

Extract of my essay for the course of Theory of architecture, S6 «American cities in video games: new forms of analysis?» Following Baudrillard’s ideas we can go further, exploring his notions of simulacra, simulation and hyperreality. According to the philosopher, the simulation is the experience of the real through our practice, for example through media or learning. The simulacrum is the representation of the reality without being a copy, it is a substitution of the real, and the copy only has a sense with the original. The original and the aura disappeared to give way to the simulacra. In video games the difference between simulation and simulacra is when the simulation tries to imitate the social relationships, and forces you to think about your acts and consequences. When the game resembles life, when you are disturbed by your behaviour, when you’re asking yourself, you’re entering in the world of the simulacra. In GTA you have a relationship to other citizens, and in your missions you have to rob, kill and hurt people.You can make your own rules, and every gamer transgress the law and morality. In this game you can project your phantasms and live as a gangster. Everything stays in the cities of Los Santos or Liberty City. For Tadh Kelly (the creator of the game design blog « What Games Are »), when the game becomes a simulacra it is dangerous for the gamer. “In the Grand Theft Auto series, the presence of other people on the streets, and their various snippets of dialogue, does a great deal to enchant the player. It adds a layer of richness to an experience that would otherwise be pretty sterile, and the game is consequently more thaumatic. ».

In GTA’s cities if you play bowling or have a drink with a partner reinforced your link with them: a notion of socialisation is introduced, bringing out the notion of simulacrum. Baudrillard wrote about simulacrum “Disneyland is a perfect model of all the entangled orders of simulacra. It is first of all a play of illusions and phantasms ». Actually you can apply this definition of this imaginary world to GTA, it is one aspect that made the game a simulacrum: the purpose of the game is to allow the gamer to realize his phantasms. The city is represented as the place of all possibilities, even if you have some physical limits. The last notion of Baudrillard in this essay is the hiperreality is when the conscience loses it capacity to distinguish the reality and imaginary. For him our world became a hipperreality, the real is being erased to be replacing by sign of his existence. In GTA you can get lost. It is another aspect of simulacrum. The game is conceived to be played during hours and hours: you have a mission you want to accomplish it, a day last 48 minutes and this rhythm changes your time conception, the weather is always changing and dissipate you in the virtual: everything in this game is made to attract you and lost you in a new universe, where you can do whatever you want if you run faster than the cops.You can restart again and again, until the CD gets used. Each gamer have his path, because according to the choices you make your mission change, you met new people, you find new weapons.Your decision is important as in real life. Grand Theft Auto is more than a simulation. It is a critique of our society.
