Kjeller Flyplass Landscape Masterplan

Final Project - Document Upload

A copy of my final design proposal for Kjeller Flyplass can now be viewed here. Thumbnails of the first 2 pages are presented below. Please click on the link above to access the pdf through Google Docs.

N.B: The document may at first appear pixilated - just give your browser a few moments to adjust. The original pdf may also be downloaded through Google Docs.

Thank you to all - students, teachers, and judges alike - for a great first semester at AHO!

And, of course, comments are more than welcome. Even at this post-project stage, I am more than happy to receive comments and feedback.

Regards,

The project proposes the high speed rail connection from Bergen to Oslo through the Gardermoen region. An interchange is located at Gardermoen Næringspark, and is connected to the extended Gardermoen-Trondheim high speed line at Oslo Gardermoen Airport through a light rail system. The extension of this light rail system from Gardermoen Næringspark forms the missing link from the airport to its major edgecity, Jessheim.

An elevated green topography houses the infrastructural upgrades at Gardermoen Næringspark that orientates and connects communities in the area to their rich ecological surroundings. It establishes the permanent green structure that would shape surrounding urban mixed-use development catalysed by intensified transport infrastructures.

SUMMARY 16:45

Gardermoen Næringspark aerial view

A little preview of my development at Gardermoen Næringspark. Roads in grid structure, each parcel has its own water system, which drains into the central green/blue structure. By using different species of trees, users can navigate in the area just by looking at the forest - and in fall - the trees will change into different colors, making the scenery change as you go along the path.

STORYBOARD

Here is a list of the deliverables for your final presentation:

an overall plan

(plan of the project, and its contextualization in the territorial scale)

a site plan

(detailed small scale project plan)

minimum 3 sections

a model in scale of choice

(a working/exploratory model is also fine)

1 – 2 perspectives

diagrams explaining what the project does

a written description of the project

(1 A4 page font Garamond size 11, 1.2 lines spaced)

Next week we will have reviews as usual. We will however ask you to prepare a storyboard of your final presentation (hand drawn or computer drawn) listing the number of boards you plan to produce and their layout (what will be there, how organized in the board, what scale etc). We will go through it with you on wednesday. The storyboard is a way to help you visualize the way you would present your project, like film-makers do. At the same time should help you envisioning the amount of work you expect to produce and decide if/how you can handle it. I just copypaste a text I wrote for the students last semester ;)

One last note on the importance to make a “storyboard”, for your project. Storyboard is a tool used by film-makers to develop the plot for their movies simultaneously with their visual imagination. Especially Alfred Hitchcock's films were legendary to have been extensively storyboarded to the finest detail.

Saul Bass's storyboards for the Psycho shower scene

A storyboard is for designer a tool to set the framework for a project implementation by envisioning in advance what kind of arguments / drawings / images will be needed to make their arguments communicable and consequent. A storyboard is also a mental tool to test in advance the clarity of one owns arguments, and sharpen them accordingly. We have asked you to draw a storyboard for your projects: the intention is to challenge you to reach a kind of conclusiveness, quite crucial at this point of the semester. Hitchock was strongly believed not to have ever bothered to look though the camera, since his films were defined a prori, and only in one way the planned result could be achieved. By comparing his storyboards and the actual sequences shot for his movies, substantial differences and changes have been found: that is to say, your projects will still be open and adaptable to changes.

Have a nice weekend!
