About me /

I am an architecture student with education and experience from two very different schools of architecture in the world. I started my education in Oslo in 2008, in a school heavily influenced by its pioneers Christian Norberg-Schulz and Sverre Fehn. Its focus is mainly on technical, environmental and programmatic issues, as well as the architecture’s relation to the landscape. This was one of the most characteristic features of Fehn’s architecture: “When I build in a place where the natural landscape is completely pristine and un-

touched, it is a struggle - the attack by our culture intact nature. In this confrontation I try to create a building that makes people more aware of the beauty of this place.” (Sverre Fehn) I started my M.Arch. 2 graduate studies at SCI-Arc in 2011 and was introduced to a very different but extremely exciting learning environment. This avant-garde school of architecture has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of academic study. You’re constantly being pushed to the next level, and your work is always being reviewed in a highly professional, critical, inquisitive and respectful way. A truly world-class institution.

RADIAL CRYSTALLIZATION 2GBX Manferdini studio - Deep surface - Spring 2012 / Instructor: Elena Manferdini Co-instructors: Tom Wiscombe and Andrew Atwood / Collaboration with Gaella Bongo

The project investigates the relationship between interior and exterior - inside and outside. The building responds to this architectural problem by creating a multilayered surface towards the city, whilst the inner courtyard and garden is characterized by a faceted, highly reflective surface. The differences between the two surfaces create a duality in the experience of the building. The most significant feature of the project is the scripted linework of the outer facade, which also can be seen on the left here. The polarization of the lines creates an optical illusion in the experience of the surface. The double-layering and depth of surface enhances this experience by confusing the spectator of what is outside and what is inside. The script is developed from a voronoi structure, where every triangle in the voronoi polygons consists of 75 arrayed lines that all meet in the center of the polygons and creates a radial effect. The concept of the facade emerged from this script, and through the initial exercises which can be seen on the two next pages. The project is an office building and conference center on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. The project is organized by having the office spaces in the elevated hexagonal volume over ground, while the auditoriums and parking areas is placed in 4 underground storeys.

INCONGRUOS SURFACES 2GAX studio - Incongruos figures - Fall 2011 / Instructor: Marcelyn Gow Co-instructors: Florencia Pita and Ramiro Diaz-Granados

This project is an investigation of two different kinds of surfaces for a new REDCAT theatre in Santa Monica, California. The surfaces are different in the way of being strict and sharp in one ontology and completely loose and organic in the other. They are forming the building envelope by dissolving, merging and nesting into each other The idea emerges from the discoveries from the discoveries from the first exercise (shown on this page), where the volumes between the ramping structure came out very interesting. The coloration of the two surfaces amplifies the meeting between these two ontologies The bulky ground represents the third ontology. It enhances the meeting between building and ground and is both leading and unifying.

disFIGURE 2GAX Visual Studies - Fall 2011 / Instructor: Elena Manferdini TA’s: Caroline Dieden and Brian Henry

The work of the class as a whole critically participates on the current debate about the state of technology for the production of drawings and images, and questions the ideological and formal implications of various digital representational modes. The seminar speculates that contemporary surfaces have the ability to breed new sensations and seeks to extend the effective potential of figure, focusing on issues of material, chromatics and their relationship to flat and curved sheets. During the first part of the semester we conducted a series of highly focused experiments dealing with the relationship between geometrical relief, coloration, surface treatment and materials. We explored the way in which texture and color is reflected and refracted throughout matter: as painters utilize particular techniques of contrasting scales of luminosity and texture through brush stroke to invoke volume within the two-dimensional pictorial frame, the class looked to this medium for its methods of capturing and materializing light deep within the compositional and material qualities of the painted canvas. The class as a whole compiled a Still Life Collection of floral disfigures. During the second part of the semester the class focused on fabrication from digital models. We created a feedback loop relationship between the form of analog and digital matter, establishing a rich geometrical and material vocabulary. The final result is an intricate composition of the flowers printed on vinyl, made possible through painting in ZBrush, developable unrolls in Rhino and mapping in Maya.

ETFE TECTONICS 2GAX Applied Studies - Advanced Tectonics - Fall 2011 / Instructor: Marcelo Spina TA’s: Robbie Crabtree and Al Ataide / Collaboration with Marcus Westberg, Kai Reaver Varouzhan Adamian, Aaron Olko and Aladdin Mogeem

This class is a research platform and testing ground for the exploration of manifold structures, surface tectonics, material assembly and digital fabrication in relation to both relevant historic precedents and influential contemporary projects. The course looks at the historic relationship between structure and surface in architecture through the lens of contemporary digital fabrication, intricate tectonic assembly and advanced materials, focusing its emphasis on the research, design and development of complex and integrated building envelopes for specific performances and applications. Our group researched the plastic material ETFE, and focused on using the attributes of the material to rethink and redevelop the opportunities that lies within the material. We developed a series of investigations, where each one questions the material attributes in its own way. The first model that we developed for midterm investigates ETFE’s tensile strength, and its ability to be interconnected with itself without the use of a secondary material. We did this through the use of temperature by using a heat gun to attach the material to itself. As we moved towards the final presentation, we focused on the tensile strength of the material, and introduced steel as a secondary material to allow the construction of a larger structure.

Design Process for Final / As we progressed forward with our design, we moved from the concept of self adhering the ETFE through heat to constructing frames out of different mediums. Shown here (left to right) is a further evolved design strategy from our mid-term work of self-adherence and heating to create volumetric, tensile forms to an aluminum frame panel supporting a tensile ETFE component.

HARESTUA HIGH SCHOOL 4th semester studio project - Spring 2010 / Instructors: Bente Kleven, Marius Nygaard and Aina Dahle / Collaboration project with Morten Celius

Harestua High School is a building for diversity and flexible use. The school is characterized by communication and interaction across year levels. It allows for a creative and innovative environment. We want to anchor the school in the area, both physical and with visual contact with the adjacent areas. Our goal has been to create a good framework for developing a cohesive and forward-learning environment, with flexibility in terms of tomorrow’s educational and social challenges. With spacious solutions for diverse activities and good public arenas The school is a functional facility characterized by active social meeting point instead of futile corridors. That is the school of the future.

To understand the project it is important to know the characteristics, history and limitations of the given site. The site is an old, abandoned timber plant in Lunner Municipailty north of Oslo. This huge area is the site for the new city centre of Harestua, and every team of students were given a program to develop on the site. It was desired by the studio to keep some of the old structures on the site. This project keeps and restores the old warehouse in the south, and develops this as a multifunctional hall that serves the entrance of the school, the youth club, the cafe and the library.

Natural climate system

The steel structure of the school and multi-purpose sports hall connects to this structure and enables large spans to accommodate the flexible learning environment (see next page). The environmental issues of big glass areas are solved passively by the surrounding deciduous trees. They provide shade to the interior in the hot summer climate to cool down the spaces, and provide light and heat in the cold and dark winter months.

HOTEL */***** 6th semester studio project - Spring 2011 / Instructors: Dagfinn Sagen and Kathrine Lund

The project is a study of the relationship between the serving and the served elements of a hotel. Hotel *****/* is a synthesis of the programs hotel and hostel. The hostel and its guests are functioning as the serving part of the complex. The mix of programs occurs as a class distinction, developed as an architectural concept. The semester started with a series of photoand model studies, that will follow on the next page. The photos on this page is of the finished project.

Photo-study of large-scale hotels with 100 rooms or more. The photoworkshop documented the hotels extent of repetition and all the objects that is arranged and ready to take in the impressions of guests; the awaiting repetition

Model studies attempting to grasp the the awaiting repetition in a hotel, and attempts to find a distinction of front and back - of guest and host a distinction of the serving and serviced areas.

Study of the relationship between the serving areas in a hotel and representative areas. The model is a sequence of a larger structure. The structure aims to separate these two different types of rooms, while also creating an interaction between them. 68

THE HOSTEL SCTRUCTURE / The hotel and hostel are two different types of social programs, and that must also be reflected in the architecture. The hotel section is developed with a completely conventional, rectangular architectural floor plan, with a basic limestone facade. The hostel and the representative spaces are placed in the middle of the complex and flows out into the first floor. It also breaks through the hotel structure on the upper floors. The structure is interpreted architectonically as something different, and something that differs from the conventional hotel section. There have been desired that the structure should be random and uniform. Rooms are formed where there is a need and opportunity for it. The rooms' dimensions are controlled entirely by the structure. Several types of structures have been tested, and the algorithm generated Voronoi structure was the ultimate answer to these needs. The system provides a habitable structure between the hotel blocks, as well as on the first floor. The structure itself is constructive and provides a rigid shape. The Voronoi formula gives a seemingly random form that can be used spatial if it is generated with the proper parameters. The VORONOI Voronoi PRINCIPLE structure consists of a series of cells. The cells that provide a flat floor and an acceptable ceiling height VORONOI are used as hostel rooms - dorms, kitchens, resting areas and bathrooms. PRINCIPLE

CONNECTING THE STEEL FRAME

CONSTRUCTION / The building consists mainly of two structural systems. The first is the Voronoi structure, which carries itself and the two hotel volumes. It is a steel structure with a thickness of 150 mm. The principle of installation shown in the detail on the left.

STRUCTURE OF THE CELL WALLS 1.

On the first floor, the Voronoi structure is cut in all cases, and appears as a series of randomly placed columns. These columns are the primary construction for the hotel volumes. The hotels volumes are built by conventional precast concrete elements, and differ clearly from the Hostel’s structure. In those cases where the steel structure forms habitable rooms, elements which separates and isolates are being put into the cell wall. The elements are totally prefabricated and generated from digital models in order to achieve ultimate precision. How this is built can be seen in the bottom detail. 3000

STUDENT HOUSING 3rd semester studio project - Fall 2009 / Instructors: Bente Kleven, Marius Nygaard, Cathrine Vigander / Collaboration project with Emil Pira

The student apartments are placed on an infill site in the bustling town Tøyen in Oslo. The apartments are intended to give students a good quality of living at an affordable price. To achieve this, the apartments are throughout, with a narrow plan. The bedroom on one side gets the morning sun over the quiet street of Herslebsgate, while the living room is aimed towards the sunny, tranquil courtyard. There are 16 apartments, 2 of them are twostory. At its maximum, the building can accommodate 36 students. The building’s structure with semi-displacement plan provides exciting situations on the ground floor and at the rooftop. The offset provides an interesting facade.

5th semester studio project - Fall 2010 / Instructors: Lars Haukeland, Snorre Gundersen, Wenche Andreassen, Minna Riska, Floire Nathanael Daub / Collaboration project with Elisabeth Amundsen and Erik Folmo

The Norwegian city Sarpsborg is a city with huge challenges in urban planning. Its beautiful city center is being choked by its own densifying development. The city’s identifiable areas; the river, the waterfall and the historical grounds is inaccessible because of heavy industry and the railroad tracks. We create new possibilities through developing a huge industrial wasteland close to the city center and placing the railroad underground. This is a visionary project underlining Sarpsborg’s identity. The proposal has made a broad appeal in local political forums.

Model view 1:1000

The project aims to solve the most important issues that the city of Sarpsborg has been struggling with for many decades while creating a different and better urban environment through the development of the large industrial area located north of the city center.

Construction detail - Balcony

By developing this area, we will give the city back its identity by linking the historically important parts of the city. Glomma - Norway’s largest river - has always been important for the expansion of the city. But through the tremendous development of the industry giants of Hafslund and Borregaard Industries, the access to the river has been blocked. This project doesn’t want to put down this important industry to gain access to the river, but rather develop the huge abandoned timber plant belonging to Borregaard Industries. There are parts of this area (northern area) which is still in use, and it may remain even after this development. The project will also link the city center back to the historically important area of Borgarsyssel, which is also blocked by the industry. The most important factor for the development of this area is to relocate the railway area, and put this in a tunnel under the city center. This will open the city to its new areas. Densification and migration has been a major problem for Sarpsborg city. This project aims to solve this through allowing for extension of the existing city center and enhancing the qualities that are already located here. The renewal of the railroad will improve the public transport to Oslo and Europe, which is key for this mediumscaled city 82

Another important factor of the project is to move the busy highway 118 out of the city, and redirect it onto a bridge over Glomma River, north of the developed area. This will clean the city air and also enable the development of large recreation areas. The new district consists of a new high school, library, cultural center, new train station, commercial buildings and residential buildings.

GRESSHOLMEN SMALL SUMMER CABIN

3rd semester intense studio project - Fall 2009 / Instructors: Bente Kleven, Marius Nygaard, Cathrine Vigander / Collaboration project with Elisabeth Amundsen and Erik Folmo

Intended as an easily accessible retreat for the city-dwellers of Oslo, this small summer cabin is situated comfortably near the top of a ridge on the small island of Gressholmen in the Oslo Fjord. It is a simple construction that is easy to set up and leaves a minimal footprint when taken down. 3-week intense studio project done solely through physical modelling.

RETIREMENT COMMUNITY 2nd semester studio project - Spring 2009 / Instructors: Erik Fenstad Langdalen, Anna Røtnes and Søren Sandved

This project is a home for elderly people on the riverbank of Akerselva River in Oslo. It is not an institution, but rather a place where six retired people lives together with their daily life challenges. The site was challenging because its adjacent building is a listed historical watermill. This was an interesting task because it made me deal with humanitarian challenges in relation to architecture. The studio focused on giving an introduction to architecture and design, and was mainly a workshop in different techniques.

WORKSHOPS

OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS 1st semester projects - Fall 2008 / Instructors: Erik Fenstad Langdalen, Anna Røtnes and Søren Sandved

The following 3 projects are design projects intended to give an introduction to the facilites at school and to give knowledge that forms the basis for further studies at AHO. WELDING MASK / CASTING WORKSHOP The welding mask is a critical equipment in the building industry. This sculpture is about what is perceived inside the mask in relation to the noise outside. In a cross-section of this intense situation, the outside is rendered in rough concrete and the inside in white plaster.

CAMERA OBSCURA / WOOD WORKSHOP Camera Obscura - “dark room” - is also known as the first photo camera. The idea is simple: a dark room - big or small – with a tiny hole in one end. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced, upside-down, but with color and perspective preserved. Simple idea – complicated practice. Built out of a 4 meter log and accommodates a human body.

RECLINER / STEEL WORKSHOP Inspired by insects and natural forms, this metal construction is a flexible form intended to function as a nice recliner. It’s total weight, plus the weight of a human body hangs like a pendant, and changes its form in proportion to body movements.

CONCRETE WORKSHOP

3rd semester project - Fall 2009 / Instructor: Magne Magler Wiggen

This is the result of a very exciting concrete workshop at NorBetong in Slemmestad, Norway. The two tables intend to challenge gravity. The concrete is in both cases heavily reinforced, so that the slim shapes can take much bigger loads than they look like. The tables won 1st prize in the award ceremony following the workshop.

BRICK WALL WORKSHOP

4th semester project - Spring 2010 / Instructors: Bratsberg brickworks

This wall is the result of a one-day workshop at Bratsberg brickworks in Lunde, Norway. It demonstrates the wide variety a brick provides in terms of shape, surface and texture.

120 HOURS

FOUNDER AND PROJECT MANAGER International architecture competition for students, by students / Founded in 2011

100

The competition 120 HOURS is as an independent competition organized by students on a non-profit, voluntary basis without the involvement of a school administration. The organizing committee of 120 is recruited from the student masses of the three main architecture schools in Norway, BAS, AHO and NTNU, with the three founders as the leading project managers at all time. The competition runs over 120 hours (five days), and is an idea/conceptual competition. This short time span is well suited accommodate an already time-consuming education The objectives It is becoming increasingly challenging to establish a name as a young architect. Clients and contractors seek the safety of experience and proven ability, thus excluding many young architects. The “solution” for these architects is too often to participate in countless competitions and unpaid work to build their portfolio. 120 HOURS offers fresh ideas on relevant architectural topics while giving students a voice in the current architectural discourse. 120 is challenging and fun to participate in, and gives students a relevant first encounter with architectural competitions. In short, we are giving deserving young talents a head start at the game. 120 HOURS will benefit the architectural community as a whole. 120 is as an independent competition organized by students on a non-profit, voluntary basis without involvement of a school administration. 120 HOURS is a mark of quality, something that all students will aspire to, and put into his or her portfolio for future reference.

“120 HOURS is already established as Norway’s most important architectural competition for students. I believe that this competition should be included in the curriculum of all Norwegian architectural schools from the very first year. 120 HOURS provides a very good exercise in creating good concepts in a short amount of time, and in that way become a better architect.” GEIR BRENDELAND, Head of Jury 2012 “120 HOURS is an important contribution to the architectural education in Norway. I think the competition can help to increase the level of Norwegian architecture, and have an effect in open Norwegian competitions. The project should continue to be relevant to society, and promote discussion outside of the architectural field. 120 have the ability to become an important arena of competition for architectural students world-wide.” CATHRINE VIGANDER, Jury member 2012 “Architectural competitions both nationally and internationally should be conducted in the same way as 120 HOURS. A short time frame with more focus on the concept and main measures will lead to fewer working hours being wasted on rejected proposals. 120 is a very good initiative and have great transfer value to professional competitions.” SIXTEN RAHLFF, Jury member 2012 “I think the life as a practicing architect is closer to 120 HOURS than it is to the academic life. As an architect you have to make quick and good decisions. In that way, 120 can be just as interesting as a diploma that you have spent half a year on developing. Architectural offices seek employees who can deliver quality in a short time.” OGMUND SØRLI, Jury member 2012
