The
studio operates within two converging, highly pressing concerns: the advent of
sustainability as a major force within architectural discourse, and the
planning of the Norwegian small town. Architecture and urbanism should in this
context not be considered separate discourses: Buildings are environmentally
determined objects, their raison d'aitre - economic, social, political -
necessarily expressed in their physical form. This term, we have proposed
alternative futures for Flekkefjord, with housing for 1000 knowledge workers
and their families in relation to a proposed battery factory at Lista, as well
as one public building, the innovation center. Our aim was to develop strategic
building projects that could serve as exemplars for a new "aesthetics of
sustainability" for Norwegian small towns.
