Utdanning

Som en lidenskapelig landskapsarkitekt, ønsker jeg å bidra til debatten om utformingen av offentlige rom og har som mål å styrke økologisk og klimatisk motstandskraft i byområder. Min akademiske bakrunn reflekterer en forpliktelse til å designe urbane miljøer integrert i ulike biotoper, og fremme unike mikroøkosystemer innenfor det større biome. Jeg drives av målet om å øke biomangfoldet, tillate at landskapselementer trives i bymiljøer, og å demokratisere offentlige rom ved å gjøre dem tilgjengelige og innbydende for alle. Jeg ser frem til å bidra med mine ferdigheter for å løfte påvirkningen av landskapsarkitektur på det bygde miljøet.

Lindeberg Remnants

A Framework For Water Integration In The Alfaset Area

Superviser: Karin Helms

Centered on the Lindeberg basin to tackle surfacewater challenges. The project aims to shift impermeable surfaces, promoting the absorption of surface water to bolster ecosystem resilience. Drawing inspiration from glacial processes, the design introduces waterway spaces to enhance biodiversity. Historical insights, from the last glacial era to 20th-century urban development, guide the project, underscoring Lindeberg’s upstream location for capturing and managing stormwater. Identified areas for topsoil transformation guide water movement, break impermeable surfaces, and connect developed forests along the Alna River to Østmarka’s deciduous forests. In Alfaset’s complex urban context, Lindeberg basin serves as an archetype, fostering ecological connectivity through hydrological integration.

Sequential flow: Daniel Clearwater, Laiman Ching Ng. Vestby logistics site caused the topography to be flattened and reduced the green surface of the area while replacing it with impermeable surfaces. This group project creates topographical terraces that establish a clear water flow direction where it gets slowed down through dams below each terrace. This, to decrease the pollution and risk of flooding into the rivers below the site. While integrating the site into its surroundings through green corridors and patches that allow for more permeable surfaces to exist within the site.

Introduced green corridors and patches

The project began with research of forest expansion and diminsh, topography analysis, and water pattern

Abstract pattern extraction and mock models were some of the methods used to realize the main concept

Exposed rocks in the development of Romasås is the result of its 70s urban practice that unearthed some of them, while others are naturally occurring. Highlighting these formations is to emphasize the landscape character of this part of Oslo, through establishing these exposed rocks as paths or places for gatherings while some clearings in the inner forest will allow more light in, and make it safer , as well as connect these rock paths.

Rock formations that create living spaces outdoors

Rocks formations as a podium and a path are different way of perceiving these rocks formations

From Truncated Octahedron, a relaxed-mesh morphology was developed and used as a primary unit which was aggregated and culled from to achieve a structure that provides shade in water taxi stop. It is designed to be interactive.
