SKILLING LANDSCAPES BORNE IN NORWAY
To explore the phenomenon of skilled labour migrants working in the oil and gas sector on the Norwegian West Coast, this year’s “Society in Motion” summer school began at Ågotnes on the island of Sotra, west of the Norwegian city of Bergen. This settlement has developed into an important node for the industry in the Hordaland region, an area that claims to be Europe’s largest single-energy supplier. The discovery of Norwegian North Sea oil in December 1969 led to a heady transformation in the built environment and settlement patterns of the nation’s western coastline. Whilst the broad phenomena of specialist industrialisation and urbanisation has been widely documented, the 2017 “Society in Motion” summer school searched to uncover the spatial complexities that have evolved in response to the movement patterns of successive generations of skilled labour migrants in Norway. Choosing to look at Ågotnes during the ten-day workshop allowed the students to engage with the strong Norwegian coastal landscape and the oil-related industries with their on-off character of service-based operations, which rely on a large force of temporary skilled labour migrants. One of the aims was to investigate how the skilled labour migrants already affect the society and the place. In addition to the spatial needs of the oil industry and their workers, the growing local population of Fjell Kommune (municipality) is taken into consideration when new urban plans for the area is developed. With this understanding, the first workshop deals not only with skilled labour migration but also with the local context of a growing population and how it can be seen to affect placemaking and the community of the coastal city of Ågotnes in times of change. So as to deal with these various forces, a multi-scalar exploration of shortlisted localities, using various interdisciplinary techniques, provided the opportunity to document and celebrate this half-century of technical, cultural, economic and social migration, and to propose enhancement through alternative spatially designed interventions to comment on the present planning initiatives. Therefore, the students specifically looked into the impact of temporality, scale and scalelessness, growth and shrinkage, shaping logics, connectivity, and topography regarding placemaking. Furthermore, the investigation included the question of how the potential of the presence of the skilled labour force, as a hidden population, could be utilised for the best of the society when considering the benefit of the entire area and environment of the place.

In their search for answers, the students explored five different projects about the place and have taken not just the needs of locals into consideration but also those of the incoming skilled workers. The students’ projects highlighted future development strategies and visions for Ågnotes, beyond ”oil” industry-driven urbanism, and connected the plural agglomeration of a know-how-based industry to housing, urban functions, and the landscape. Furthermore, these individual projects were combined into one master plan to show how their interventions can be seen as part of a bigger picture. They outline the potential for better connecting Ågnotes with the greater region, improving the region’s infrastructure, and reactivating and intensifying existing networks and communities, not just creating a single core city centre but embracing the qualities and possibilities of the broader cultural, social, and industrial landscape of Ågnotes. One of the conclusions of the first “Society in Motion” workshop in Ågnotes, with its impressive dynamic skyline and the richness of the Norwegian coastal landscape, is that this could be a positive factor in weaving place, creating community, and cross-fertilising social innovation. Through exploration, mapping, and the production of architectural proposals, we anticipate the site has the potential for investment in the transitory and permanent migration communities and concluded that in the context of Ågnotes, “migration means innovation.”
Key FActS
“Society in Motion” is a three years summer workshop series together with students and researchers from Bergen School of Architecture, University of Applied Arts Vienna and the University of Liechtenstein. The aim of the workshop is to investigate architectural and spatial challenges for new emerging society in motion from various perspectives. The workshops are supported by an Erasmus+ grant for strategic partnership for higher education.

(WHATEVER) FLOATS YOUR BOAT (Whatever) Floats Your Boat proposes a new ferry port, harbour, and social precinct at a key position on the coast of Ågotnes. Ågotnes can be seen as a satellite city, an extension of the centre of Bergen. It is a place which needs stronger connectivity in order to stimulate its own vitality and in turn improve liveability for migrant workers and locals alike. By creating faster and more efficient transport routes with Bergen and the surrounding area, the town can maintain its key industrial foothold while functioning better in a metropolitan context. Defining a city centre for Ågotnes has been a goal of the Planning Department of the Municipality of Fjell. The planned development is positioned at a geographically central point between the major settlements in the area. Thus, it presupposes the continued reliance on car mobility. However, the already overburdened road network is a detriment to the growth of Ågotnes as an autonomous town. Taking advantage of Ågotnes’ connectedness to the sea, the proposed new ferry terminal will cut daily commute times with Bergen significantly. A direct ferry line will take 25 minutes to reach Bergen’s city centre in comparison with 2 hours at peak times by car. A circle loop ferry will also provide a service for several key ports in the region including Knarrvik, Kleppestøt, Vardøyna, and Bergen Airport.

Greater area of Bergen Regional connectivity
A secondary water taxi service is proposed to operate short-haul trips up and down the coast. The majority of small littoral townships in the surrounding region of Ågotnes have their own existing docks that would allow small boats to dock and depart at speedy intervals. Mobile pontoons may be installed and moved to create new ports based on demand. This system of water taxis and the new ferry lines will be integrated with existing and new bus lines. A new shuttle bus loop will be introduced at Ågotnes that will service all the immediate townships and also feature a ‘park and ride’ system. The new bus terminal positioned at the new harbour will allow daily commuters to completely forgo their reliance on individual car mobility as integrated public transport systems at both ends of the journey allow for seamless transit. By diversifying the modes of transport and integrating them, there will be a more robust connectivity network for both Ågotnes and Bergen. Environmental, economic, and social benefits will all result from a reduction in car traffic and the establishment of a new node of activity at the harbour.

ÅGOTNES ÅRE
ÅÅ Å G O T N E S
Ågotnes has a striking, dynamic skyline that constantly changes its silhouette. The industrial area of the city has given the region an identity and importance for Norway and the oil industry. This proposal celebrates the grand scale of the industrial power and wants to foster an even brighter future. By adding further forms of industry such as the production of wind-energy turbines and fish farming, new types of skilled migrants will enter the region. A newly developed innovation hub will attract young, skillful experts that will gain and develop their knowledge on site and create a European Silicon Valley in the industrial field.
Å R E
In order to connect the industry with the city, the proposal sees an elevated path winding through the large-scale volumes of the industrial area. The industrial work procedure will not be affected on ground level since the path is elevated and thus creates a security border. This Høysti that passes over green roofs of seagulls will also act to connect buildings on its upper level and create new entrances. At the fringe of the industrial site, several landmarks are being installed that offer programmatic space that is needed by both parties - the residentials and the industrial workers. A covered event space can hold city events such as the National Day on 17th May, as well as office events of the industrial businesses on the other side of the building. Further restaurants, shops, and gym facilities will act as connecting nodes between the city and the industry. This project aims to create an interlocking system of pathways and architectural hotspots that connect the dynamic of the industry with the city, the water, and the landscape.

SOCIAL HUB Ågotnes needs an expansion of activities and social gathering spaces to match the requirements of its dynamic population and hidden community. An integrated network of public transport and bike paths, coupled with a bicycle sharing system, will increase connectivity between the existing and new social hubs, creating a more vibrant community. An analysis of the population fluctuation and the shifting distribution of demographics has informed the direction of the project by putting focus by increasing interaction and activities for the skilled migrants and residents. These workers are an invisible and unrepresented part of the community, and there is currently little opportunity for interaction between them and the local population. A new workshop and youth centre, a skatepark/activity park, a barbecue, a swimming area, and a function space will give these groups common activity spaces. Improving the facilities of existing social hubs by introducing new activities into these familiar spaces will increase their use and bring people together in these spaces. Adding community gardens and barbecue facilities to the existing residential social locations will help to build community interaction in the area. Redevelopment of the existing Ågotnes Sentrum into an enjoyable and active public space will be achieved by inserting new market stalls and cafés, and making the central square pedestrian friendly with shelter and seating areas for people to gather.
10 min walk radius
The injection of activities and the new infrastructure network will increase the cultural identity of Ågotnes and combine the industry with the local community to create a cohesive city of the future.

PIER PATTERNS The «Society in Motion» Workshop deals with the industrial city of Ågotnes and the problems that skilled labour migrants have to face day-to-day: the absence of a sense of belonging, and accommodation and isolation from the local community. Besides, the workshop touches on topics that are crucial both for migrants and locals, such as connectivity to bigger cities, and lack of community spaces and leisure activities. The oil industry is in decline. The disappearance and shift of the industry to other areas in Norway have had an effect on Ågotnes on economic and spatial levels. Yet, Ågotnes is trying to sustain its position in the economic market by shifting from one industry branch to another. Soon, we might see windmills along the coastline of Ågotnes, replacing the gigantic oil industry structures, while the industrial base is buzzing with workers working on repairing subsea equipment. Our group is confident that Ågotnes will stay an important location for the Norwegian industry, providing the surrounding area and the rest of the world with workplaces. As a group, we focus on celebrating the oil industry in Agotnes as part of the city’s cultural identity and creating a sense of community by developing a coastline through the re-use of small and big-scale structures, for example, the oil rigs and traditional boathouses. We identified a conveniently located area in the city, where historical buildings meet the industrial skyline of Ågotnes. There, we would propose a harbour for the boat system, which has been created during the workshop. Through the improved connectivity and accessibility of Ågotnes. This spot can become the new city center. We aim to achieve this by introducing a system of piers and docks that stretch from the

harbour along the coastline between traditional boathouses, while also including a pathway to the accessible oil rig, which stands as a landmark in the industrial skyline of the city. The empty houses in this area are being converted into spaces for workshops and events. By doing so, we provide spaces for skilled labour migrants and locals to share their skills. Along the coastline, we located little restaurants and shops, as well as places for BBQs, swimming, fishing, and gatherings. Additionally, the oil rig incorporates small apartment blocks on its structure which can be rented for short periods. Furthermore, we try to locate empty or ownerless houses in residential areas of Ågotnes and reuse them as living space for skilled labour migrants. By doing so, we’re achieving a mix of local residents and temporary workers, which contributes to a strong sense of community within the city of Ågotnes. The project celebrates the industrial side of the city while paying attention to its historical background and the breath-taking natural surroundings. A continuous path along the coastline, as well as the mixture of living spaces for workers and locals, become both distinct features of the city and contributors to the exchange of social groups. The accessible oil rig becomes a landmark and attraction in the area.

PATHFINDERS The discovery of Norwegian North Sea oil not only defined the settlement patterns of the Western coastline but also in case of Ă…gotnes, the industrial village in the northern part of the island of Sotra, has brought a unique living quality to the community and the existing network. The identity of Ă…gotnes as the meet point of skilled labour migrants and locals relies on a balanced relationship between the industry, nature, and housing. However, the sequential development has led to some rather challenging conditions such as sharp and dividing borders, segmented pathways, semi-inaccessible dead-ends, incompatible materials etc. This work and project focus on overcoming the gated community and enhancing the living quality (whether temporary or permanent) by reconnecting nature to the settlement and bringing back its recreational context in the area. We look at nature as the common ground, a smooth transition that can bring the industry and housing together. Aside from connecting the existing walkways, rediscovering new routes, linking the stop points, and transforming the dead-ends into desirable destinations, the project is an attempt to provide an accessible network of pathways. It purposefully introduces the start and end points of each pathway based on the communal programs/nodes in the region and determines the route between them with an emphasis on the unique characteristics of each.

In order to export this strategy, the elements of each pathway such as benches, signs, fire and water resources, etc. are designed as symbols of reconnection, using the local material (wood, stone etc‌) and repurposing the industrial material.

Diary report for Erasmus+ The first out of three “Society in motion” workshops took place from the 26th of July until the 5th of August in Ågotnes and Bergen in Norway, where five students from each school (angewandte, BAS and uni.li) collaborated industriously, as they engaged with their mapping and design proposals. Day 1 26th of July 2017 (Arrival day)
Arrival at Ågotnes to a welcome grill and a first get together at the local Vindnes Quay. All students and teacher stayed for three days and nights in the barracks of CCB like a skilled labour worker, who is coming into Ågotnes for working short term in the oil industry. The CCB company has been in operation since 1973 and has built up expertise as a service provider for the oil industry and in technical maintenance for oil rigs and harbour operations. CCB is the main base for supply activities to the petroleum fields in the Tampen area of the North Sea. The CCB covers about 7 hectares, has 1000 metres of quays, some with water depth (50 m) and no weight limits, 68.600 m2 of workshops and warehouses and 20.600 m2 of office buildings.
Day 2, 27th of July 2017
Presentation of the CV of (e)motion: students and teachers presented their personal CV maps and introduced themselves according to their movements and skills they gained during their life’s experience. Christian Victor Palmer from BAS provided some key facts about the site, the area, the Norwegian oil industry and introduced together with Victoria Sandor, from the Angewandte, the first mapping task at Ågotnes, through the lenses of: 1.) temporality 2.) scale and scalelessness 3.) growing and shrinking 4.) shaping logics 5.) connectivity and topography After a first tour of the settlement, each student gave a short presentation of their impression of the place and based on their research interests, allotment into 5 groups of three; this also provided the opportunity for every team to have members representing each of the three universities.
Day 3, 28th of July 2017
During the morning Daniel Ayala Høydal, a former fire fighter, gave an introduction and tour of the Coast Center Base (CCB) and the challenges of working within the oil based service industry, he highlighted the important role the Ågnotes settlement has within the industry. Following the tour at CCB, Annette Fristad, an HR Manager at TechnipFMC gave some insights on the recruitment processes to find skilled workers for the Norwegian Oil Industry and the particular challenges in organising the perpetual migrations of their labour force from Norway to the other facilities that are run by the company throughout the world. In the evening the students organised a grill at the newly constructed city plaza in the centre of Ågnotes to stimulate public activity there, to get in contact with the local population and gather further knowledge about the place.
Day 4 29th of July 2017
