AHO WORKS StudieS 2011-2012
Master Studio
Architecture
Medium-scale Architecture:
Territory: Human and Area –
30.000 m2
Professors Per olaf Fjeld and rolf
Gerstlauer and Associate Professor
Lisbeth Funck
The New Territory is understood as a place
that states a clear relationship between
content and context and in so doing offers
an active relationship between nature and
culture. To claim one’s own territory within
a given area with a mental and physical
construction—a construction kindled by a
desire that carries a strong enough energy
to appropriate a place—is the aim for this
semester.
Medium-scale Architecture:
Territory: Human and Area -
Gallery oslo
Professors Per olaf Fjeld and rolf
Gerstlauer and Associate Professor
Lisbeth Funck
Gallery Oslo and its complex urban situa-
tion is the starting point for the task. If the
existing Gallery Oslo is to be torn down,
transformed, or added to, it is to be valued,
tested and argued for in relation to a new
collective; a territory that is deliberately
searching for a desirable relationship be-
tween human, humans and area.
Small-scale Architecture:
Without View
Professor Knut Hjeltnes
Students will develop skills in architectural
design with special weight placed on the
relation between program, ideas, spaces and
tectonic qualities. The spatial possibilities
within tightly defined frames will be inves-
tigated.
Medium-scale Architecture:
A Territorial, Urban and Architectural
constitution of the Barents Sea
Assistant Professor Neven Fuchs-Mikac
Twenty studio projects on the theme
Living
and Working in the Barents: Exploring Infra-
structure
represent an attempt to develop
an operational architecture for the extreme
Arctic conditions. The projects emerge from
research work on five themes: Barents Sea
as Treasure, Learning from the Territory,
Ice Ecology, Humans and Seasons, and Bar-
ents Union. The projects aim to formulate
the specific structural, material and sustain-
able principles, programs and locations in
this vast and remote high north landscape
and thus investigate its architectural, spatial
and living potential.
