kickstart Through the design of an activity garden, I wanted to investigate how the design of our physical environment can engage children to learn through play and physical activity. The kindergarten is organized as a series of thematic pavilions around a common fruit-garden. Each pavilion consist of a spatial wooden grid suspended between heavy rammed earth cores. The wooden structure is shaped to facilitate functional needs such as storage, books shelves, a mini stage and tables, while at the same time working as an exiting, challenging and everchanging climbing structure for the children.

mix: a social arena
In order to make the new centre viable, it must offer something different to what is already present in Akihabara; A spatially exiting social arena! To create a common space for people to meet and interact, one has sought a strong spatial connection between the private media rooms and the common areas. This intertwining of programs creates an open building with free circulation that facilitates improvised and spontaneous social interaction. To establish this connection, the private media rooms define squares that function as social mediatheques. The square also serves and a transition zone from public to private.

The Selbu lake is an important recreational area throughout the year, especially for children. Still, the area is poorly developed and offers visitors few facilities. In collaboration with the municipality the class investigated the area’s potential and developed a series of smaller structures to facilitate and strengthened people’s experience. My proposal was a buried object that triggers people’s imagination. Like a stranded ship or an ancient pyramid, people can investigate and excavate the structure. Through digging and interaction with the structure people can find, reveal and create their own spaces.

The house is designed to accommodate a musicians artistic needs. As a result of acoustic insulation, a musician’s studio is often treated as a closed of and dark space. This is undoubtedly practical, but neglects artists’ need for stimulus and the physical environment’s effect on one’s atmosphere, the house opens to the sky though a series of sky lights, that both bring light into the house and establish a visual connection to the outside. So even during loud music sessions, when the house is completely closed of by a series of shutters and doors , one retains a connection to the outside world.

The coastline of jæren has for centuries been a source of inspiration for artist and a weathered, but popular recreational area for both locals and visitors. With this as a starting point one has sought to give artist and hikers an inspiring, creative and social gathering point in connection to one of the main hiking paths along the Jæren coastline. Through an immediate connection to the grand nature, the protected shelter, gallery and workshop seeks to spark both artist’s creativity and visitors enjoyment of the exhibited art.

portal
Portal is a part open air, part underground museum where the visitors explore the different fairy tales at their own pace and order. When moving through the mysterious landscape all senses are challenged as the sequence of spaces is an ever-changing, unpredictable journey, much like the fairy-tales themselves. The new park is characterized by its connection to the underground fairy tale world. Strange objects protruding from the underground museum triggers mystique and creates large furnitures in the urban park.

thermal zones
The housing unit enables an active and close contact with the nature through a spacious half-climatized garden. This space has a shifting character, where external temperatures and seasons effects how and when the space is used. During the winter the housing unit is compact and the inhabitants gather in the warm and intimate cores. When the temperature rises the unit’s size increases, as the activity flows out onto the halfclimatized garden. The total climatized are within a family is house is 60 m2, but can grow to be 250 m2 when the temperature allows it.

caves and towers
The primary goal was to create an arena for children, where the physical environment is stimulating, inspiring and challenging. The open but varied spaces give children a multitude of possibilities to play, learn and explore, without jeopardizing the staff¨s overview. While the openness enables the kids to learn from each other, the secluded spaces offers children a pause and an opportunity for solitude. The variety in spaces is meant to give children an outlet for their own fantasy and creativity. Here they will find mountains, towers, caves, valleys, and castles.

city wall
In the corner of Høyenhall school’s playground there’s a small garden. The garden represents a heavy contrast to the vast, open asphalt-ridden area and gives a more intimate atmosphere with trees, plants and a multitude of places to hide. But there isn’t much else to do there. To reactivate the garden, we designed a zigzag structure comprising of a tower, a city wall, a water room and a combined stage and square. The structure is intended to activate the children and establish an outdoor social gathering point for pupils as well as teachers.

primitive living
On a rocky and rugged slope on the south-western coast of Stokkøya, close to Sossvika, lies a series of huge and beautiful stones scattered in the picturesque landscape. Due to their size, these stones creates some welcomed, natural and intimate shelters for the lashing winds. A series of primitive cabins are established by raising a light textile structure, that can be opened, around a concrete plateau in connection to the stones. The stones play both an emotional and functional role; They ensure a close and unique connection to the nature, whilst subtly defining a social and private zone within the tent.
