Villages in the city: The villages used to be located on the outskirts of the city, but with the expansion of the city, farmlands formerly cultivated by the villages were purchased and turned into urban land by the government whereas the villages themselves were not developed due to the high social and economic costs. Because of the prosperity of the neighbouring area, the value of the land increased
dramatically. Village landowners became rich landlords and built much larger buildings in the villages, making any urban renewal planning impossible due to the huge corresponding compensation that would have to be paid. Urban villages are mainly inhabited by migrant are associated with overcrowding and social problems, but they are also among the liveliest areas in some cities.
The ownership scenarios in the village are complicated because the owners usually no longer live in the village. This leads to the complexity in the process of renting particular houses. To develop a project in this village, it will be fruitful to create principles that can be transferred into several building typologies as well as reinterpreted by the clients if the suggested houses are not for rent at the time.

The initiator
90 % of the people living in Shi Gang are migrant workers. Despite this number, they don’t have any activities to better their everyday life or spaces just to have fun. Therefore the Migrant Street Organization in Guangzhou would like to establish a center for this group of people in this particular village.
The low level of education, income and legal rights makes this group of people vulnerable to exploitation. This increases the need for a safe base where they can improve their situation and knowledge through the center’s offer of legal counseling and courses.

We, the architects, suggest an L-shaped brand that can be used as a spatial element.
The migrants are always on the move and so are the elements.
By creating the a brand for the migrant center the visibility of the base as well as the migrants as a group will be increased in Shi Gang. The brand function as a elements can be used standing alone as furniture or together creating bigger spatial structures.
The migrants are always on the move and so are the elements. They can be used for short term “occupation� of spaces in the village, and perhaps also spaces in the city.
The main purpose of these elements is to facilitate daily activities happening inside the center and outside in the street, but can also be a part of a political statement where the migrants demands space in the public sphere. The same strategy as used in developing the base can be applied to making these elements. With simple construction methods and easily accessible materials, everyone can manage to build their center together.

Double Home Urbanism Year: 2012 - 2013 (8th semester at BAS) Type: Research, group project with J贸na Arinbjarnard贸ttir Where: Norway 16
The aim of the course was to highlight issues evolving around the double home urbanism happening in Norway with single family houses and cabins. These double home ownerships, and the longing for a garden is a big part of why the enormous sprawl is happening around most of the cities.
The product of the course was a book addressing different aspects of the two types of homes and their relations such as political, environmental, geographical and architectural topics. It is not meant to be a negative book, but rather to gather and visualize existing information in such a way that the reader can make up his or her opinion of the existing situation.
My group developed the chapter of the cabin and the single family house as an architectural object. The chapter is divided in two, starting with a catalogue where 18 examples of each category are represented and analyzed. The following part discusses the dominating prefab companies and the role of the architect as well as the fact that the technological standard and demands
have changed through history while the facade remain mostly unchanged, as a symbolic image of the home. The traditional archetype is being questioned, and if one assume that the typical norwegian house / cabin exists, is its popularity a question of nostalgia, a longing for a simpler life from the past, or is it simply the anonymity of the architectural expression that makes these traditional units so present in norwegian neighborhoods?

Our project proposal can be looked upon as a critical reply towards the already existing urban sprawl around the centre of Jessheim. The proposed grid is interwoven with new parks, paths and roads that connect the area to the surrounding nature as well as to the city centre.

Informational Hall Year: 2012 (intership at Mestres W책ge Arquitectes) Type: Library, open competition Where: Helsinki, Finland 22
Changes in information technology have provoked a shift in the function of the library. Information is to a large extent available on digital devices anywhere, with an increasing amount of books and other media available digitally. As a consequence of this one see a shift from the library as mainly a centre for access to- and the lending of books, towards an urban meeting place, centered around the access to different, ever-changing

in activities on the inside. We have applied this to the relationship between outside and inside, as well as between the functions on the within the building. The room program is organized in two groups: functions enclosed by walls to provide silence, privacy etc. and functions that may be connected in a large continuous space. This division give the possibility to create a
large continuous space functioning as the main library a hall which is accessible to everybody and mixes the different user groups. The library main hall is cut out of the building’s volume with the intention of connecting it to qualities of its context and to create an inner spatial hierarchy. 23

An old building has been demolished, making space for a new one alongside Tokyo’s busiest shopping street, Takeshita Dori. The site is situated between two opposites in Japanese culture. Seperating, on the one side, the busy modern life of Harajuku; containing all its noise, colour and smell, and on the other side, the calm sancmemory and religion.
Opposites attract and the new hotel becomes a transaction, a portal, between the two worlds, allowing them to

and seek inspiration. Their three most important needs are: a private space for work, a space for meetings and discussions, and an atmosphere to trigger their creativity. The last need is found subconsciously and inspired me to create a building as a collection of atmospheres and/or protection towards the public. 29

Cabin Urbanism Project Year: 2011 (6th semester at BAS) Type: Urban planning, group project with Tone Dybing Where: Geilo, Norway 34
This course was a continuation of the research phase that revolved around the Norwegian cabin culture with special focus on the issue of sustainability. We developed the results of our research into a project rethinking the popular ski resort Geilo. Our task was to develop a proposal for a new kind of urban and more sustainable planning of mountain areas.
750m
Center with shops and restaurant Hytte building area
Our biggest doubt about the current situation was the widespread planning and oversized, over-equipped units. At the same time through interviews we learned that most people claim that they pursue a primitive and “back to nature� experience when they go to their cabin. Our proposal includes high-density clusters developed around a new gondola system.
The cars are parked in the crossing of the two transportation axis, trains and cars vs. gondola, skiing and walking by foot, leaving the nature and cabin cluster in a stronger relation. The units are made smaller but with some shared facilities such as a bath-house and a smoke-house, maintaining the same level of living quality.
The cabin volumes showed in the photos of the model are adjusted to different sized families as well as different economical situations. In this way we hope to increase the mix of people owning cabins in areas like Geilo which today seem to attract only the richest part of the population. 35
