Portfolio_ Winnie Sanna Sahara Westerlund currently student at Bergen School of Architecture (BAHS) Professional intrests: Architecture , carpentry and furniture design, Set design / Public space performance. Work I would say that my school projects has a playfulness with the tools I choose to work with and a curiosity and studiousness to the theme. The projects develops sometimes with a strong thought of what I want to find out about, sometimes I let the material itself stir the direction of the process. Developing a concept and a title or some key words, takes often an early and important role in my working processes, both when it comes architecture projects as well as from my experiences from furniture design. The idea for concept developments can come out of analyzes of the site itself as well as from something out of context like literature or objects. For me , one of the beutiful thing with architecture is to get to know different sorts of enviroments

The Hospital as City Group work with 3 fellow students Teachers: Deans Sompson Gunvor Bakke Kvinlog, Andrea Sprecifico Course: To research among the 8 largest hospitals in the world and to build them in models 1:1000 . This course was the start of the bachelor examen course, complex building, which focus on hospital architecture. “Defining the chosen hospitals from different geographical regions - as the biggest - we have used statistics of the total built floor area, the footprints of building and the area of land its covers, the number of patient beds, employees etc. A definition of Big is not to be done by one parameter, its done by several. Followed by words such as plurality, multiplicity, complexity and size, bigness asks us to think about what happens when it becomes impossible for a person to use himself as the measurement of a building he is standing before. They are all definitely big, but many of them have their own way of being so.”

Course description: Architectural foundation course/ Urban design course with special emphasis on development of conceptual architectural/urban design approaches via rigorous and constant creative production of varied, conceptual architectural material(s) Context: Bergen, Nordnes peninsula.
Urban Gearbox The project Urban Gearboxes looks at five public spaces - so called ”Allmenning”, that stretches a hundred meters from sea line up to the spine of Nordnes. Each of this Allmenning was studied, analyzed and presented as simple machinery -The Gearbox “a self-contained spatial system, a bit like a Labyrinth, where the edges of its particles create borders and enclosures, in a unexpected order. Therefore one cannot always know how to direct through the Allmenningarna; there is the physical, visible, as well as the invisible, the Thought of (idea) -disorder.” (From the manual of the gearboxes)
