My name is Christian and I am a 5th year student of architecture at AHO. I worked as a chef for many years before I took the slightly radical decision to study architecture instead. Exept from the obvious differences, both subjects are in many ways based on composition.

For the two last semesters I have attended the "Studio B3" course here at AHO, which has a rather experimental approach to architecture and usually ends up with investigations into the terminology and elements of architectual understanding. The first investigation is focused on movement and sequense in architecture. The second investigation is focused on natural patterns and selfstructuring as a strategy of design.

EMERGING URBAN TERRITORIES

The course studies emerging urbanized fields in the Oslo region, specifically investigating a sample of territory enclosed between the city of Lillestrøm and Gardermoen airport. Projects will explore the relationship between landscape, infrastructures and urban development in order to unveil the potential for new landscape and architectural transformations. The course shall develope operative parameters for Landscape architecture based on the contextual and site specific characteristics, and hence inform individual projects for the design of new landscape, infrastructural and architectural structures.
Welcome!
