The studio
course examined the two neighborhoods of Haugerud and Trosterud, located
in the northeast of Oslo. They are located first, at the suburban edge of the
city, and second, at the edge of two landscape entities: the Østmarka
forest and a characteristic geological rift. The studio asked for
innovative strategies to upgrade the everyday landscapes in the context of
rather banal urban planning practices of the 1970s. With the notion of
anticipatory planning and ecological process thinking new landscapes were
proposed that provide a framework for housing expansions and accommodate both
cultural and environmental transformations in the near future.
