1 Hutong Regeneration A d ay c a r e c o m m u n i t y f o r t h e e l d e r l y living in the Beijing Hutong Nominated for: AHO Works - Excellence in professionalism AHO Works - Planning prize
Supervising Prof. Neven Fuchs-Mikac External Supervisors: Joakim Skajaa & Prof. Zhoung Yufang This thesis aims to highlight the need for a better care system for the aging population in Beijing, and explore the possibilities to utilize the structures of the project to activate, and socialize the users of the day care in the vicinity of their own neighborhood. The day care community is not one specific place, but a collection of structures where the user can go to socialize, and to get help with medical and daily problems. This integration of social development and daily life makes it easier for the user to get the full potential of the day care system. The project promotes social interaction with the inhabitants of the community, and as a result of this, improving the living situation for the elderly living in the Shi Jia Hutong. The thesis explores the possibilities of further development of the Hutong, without diminishing the overall complexity of these urban areas

2 Two Houses Teachers: Prof. Neven Fuchs-Mikac, Prof. Jun Igarashi, Joana Sa Lima, Torunn Stensheim Nominated for: AHO Works - Excellent multidisciplinary innovative work The two houses are based on very simple rules. The more empty the room, the more truth will be visible. The two houses are based in two different situations. The house in Sapporo is an experiment in urban housing, and the house in Hokkaido is an experiment in rural housing Each house is divided in to two parts, which are connected to each other directly. The two parts are based on the concept of the solid versus the fluid in a house, and how you can use the idea of these two situations to create spaces in a house. The solid function is a concentration of all the necessities you would need to have in a house, such as a toilet, kitchen, storage etc. The fluid function is an area that can be whatever the inhabitant wants it to be. Each house is designed for a specific site, and a specific family. The structure of the family is a father, a mother and two children. The Asahikawa project has been designed for a family, where the father sells furniture online, and the mother runs a gardening centre, and the Sapporo project is designed for a family, where one, or both of the parents has a home office next to the house.

The Asahikawa project is based on the idea that the floor is the solid of the building.

house covers the entire site, and it is covered with industrial grade end wood tiles, both inside and outside.
Every function of the house is a part of the floor. The floor also functions as the furniture of the house. It becomes the chairs, the tabletops, the bathtub etc.
The house is exploring the limits of what we can call privacy, and how we relate to a completely open space.
The large one-room structure is based set into three layers, where you have outside, outside under roof, and inside. The “floor� of the
The private space acts as a shared space and the persons living in the house has to decide how to relate to the other persons in the house.

16 Housing Two Houses AHO 9th Semester
In the Sapporo site, the very limiting dimensions of the site have been clear guides for how to develop the wall structure structure. With a whit of only 3,9 meters, the house has a clear vertical structure, based on a solid wood frame system. The solid is a three story structure with the narrowest point of only 0,9 meters. This forces the functions to connect with the fluid area, which in this project acts as a large vertical room. This area is connected to the kitchen, the office and the wardrobe functions, and as well as the entrance to the building.
The communication between the solid and the fluid is a system of ladders and shelves that is open. The only functions, which have glass between the spaces, are the roof terrace and the bathroom. The Sapporo site also has a “pet� house, with a home office for the parents in the family. This also doubles as a guest house when needed.

3 Rudi Hotel Teacher: Prof. Jan Olav Jensen, Gyda Drage Kleiva Nominated for: AHO Works - Excellent use of Computer graphics Located at Rudi farm in Sør-Fron. A small hotel with eight bedrooms, featuring a small library, dining room, bar, sauna and a rooftop terrace overlooking the river gorge. The rooms are centered in construction, with two floors and views to both sides of the river gorge. The main intention behind the design of the hotel is based on the use of steel, and the material’s structural properties. The hotel consists essentially of one truss structure of steel which spans the gorge. The interior of the hotel consists of metal plates bent up off from the floor to form the features of the hotel. All furniture and features are part of the floor, which extends throughout the structure. The only closed zones are thebedrooms, and special features such as sauna and steam bath.

4 XIXI museum of traditional and contemporary chinese art Teacher: Prof. Zhoung Yufang The XI XI Museum of traditional and contemporary Chinese art is situated at the edge of the wetland park in Hangzhou. The wetland is the first and only national wetland park in China. The architecture of the museum is based on Chinese traditional symbolism and ideas, executed in a contemporary style, taking its inspiration from nature, classical patterns, traditions and architecture. The museum is functioning as a place for exhibiting traditional Chinese art, contemporary Chinese and international art. At the same time it is also intended to function as a centre for education and research. The 8710m2 large museum is an in situ concrete structure, made from a c-shape concrete shell, with a glass and steel rod faรงade. The faรงade resembles the random growth of the bamboo. Another feature in the museum is the semi translucent litracon walls. The walls are made by a fibre optic reinforced concrete that emits light. This is used to create the traditional shadow play effect. The green patches and the sky light structures are based on the old breaking ice pattern from Chinese architecture. At the same time as being centre for culture and art, the museum gives the visitor the experience being in, on and over the wetland. The architecture is based on the principles that the wetland is a part of the art, and therefore it should be displayed with just as much respect as the art itself.

5 BLOMSTRA 798 Vertical farm Teacher: Prof. Zhoung Yufang Situated in the south of the 798 district of Beijing, the 798 farm takes the flexibility of the BLOMSTRA and combines it with the qualities of what a large scale vertical farming system can add to create a highly efficient urban farm. The roofing of the food court consists of solar panels, creating energy for the farm, and the aquaculture provides an efficient water filtration system for the BLOMSTRA units in the highrise structure. In addition to these functions, the 798 farm also contains a food court, shops, restaurants, an educational centre and a hotel. The BLOMSTRA has the ability to act as a fully functional hotel room, with the main essentials needed for a basic hotel experience. The BLOMSTRA has all the features of the vertical farm, the scale of the conventional green house, and in addition it has mobility, flexibility and efficiency. The BLOMSTRA can be put into larger structures, it can be a part of a medium scale farm and a family can use it as a personal farm. BLOMSTRA can also be used as a farming system for areas with drought, famine or natural disasters. The 798 vertical farm displays how the BLOMSTRA can function in a larger scale urban farming system. Combining the flexibility of the BLOMSTRA with a high-rise structure, the 798 farm functions as an easily controllable farming system, with the ability to feed up to 1400 people in an urban situation.

6 120 HOURS International Student Competition CURRENT POSITION: FOUNDING DIRECTOR
120 HOURS IS THE WORLD’S LARGEST ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION, MADE BY AND FOR ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS The competition was initiated by the three AHO students Hans Martin Halleraker, Magnus Pettersen and Peder Brand in 2010. We had a desire to create a greater social involvement in the student body and to create a new arena for wich Norwegian architecture students can introduce themselves to the industry. 120 HOURS introduced a brand new competition format, where students are given 120 hours to solve a complex and socially relevant assignment. By addressing topical discussions in both public and architecture debate, the competition aims to be a contributor of new thoughts and discussions within both social and cultural discourse.
120 HOURS is an independent competition organized on a non-profit, voluntary basis without the involvement of a school administration. 120 aims to give students a voice in the current architectural discourse. It is challenging and fun to participate in, and gives students a relevant first encounter with architectural competitions. In short, we want to give deserving young talents a head start at the game. As of 2014, 120 HOURS has become the world’s largest and most prestigious studentdriven architecture competition, created for and by architecture students. With some of the worlds most renowned architects as jury members.
Visit us as www.120hours.no for further information, competition proposals and jury feedback.
