First post

Hello everybody!

My name is Stine, I am from Norway, and just finished my bachelor of architecture from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen.

Earlier I have been studying interior design for one year here in Norway at a school called Idefagskolen, in Tønsberg, and the year after I was tutoring the same course. I also tutored technical drawing (ArchiCad) for a while at the same school. Then I have been employed as a technical drawer at Halvorsen og Reine Arkitekter in Drammen, Norway.

The school in Copenhagen is divided into nine different departments, and I was in department 5 where the primary fields of interest are habitation, building and space. Habitation defined as the basic condition of human existence. Significant parameters constitute context, tradition-based values and potential, a conscientious relationship with resources, flexibility in relation to dynamics, mobility and modern technology. This also includes a reinterpretation of potentials, as seen from a future architectonic perspective that simultaneously preserves and renews building culture.

This has been my approach to the subject so far, so starting this urban planning/landscape course will be new to me, but very exciting.

I am showing a project from my 5th semester, called "Housing: Space of the city and the body". We were analyzing an old danish housing project, in five different assignments. My project was to analyze Atelierhusene from 1943 by the danish architect Viggo Møller Jensen. We were looking at the building project all the way from urbanism, the site, materials, construction, function, character, and then at the end to look at it like an organism. The last assignment was to make a handheld object based on our analysis.

I used a lot of different methods and techniques, and learned a lot from this project. How to communicate thoughts and how to look at a building in many different ways.

  1. Very beautiful drawings! We have to figure out how to blow them up in the blog. It's good that you are interestedet in so many fields of design (that you have studied interior architecture, architecture and now landscape!). I look forward to see you findings in the first assignment!

  2. What a beautiful work - and also a beautiful task! It is very nice to see how you have explored the same architecture from so diffenet media. And reconceptualizing it in a portable object. You can learn so much from vernacular architecture, especially exploring in its spatial and material choices the environment and the ecologies it had derived from (perhaps in a wiser way that contemporary architectures do..). Keep all this knowledge and curiosity for your future projects! ;-)

    ps : I will help you out with the images / please remember to always give a title to your posts ;-)
