Vite - Samtalen om organdonasjon
No full textVite er et tjenestedesignprosjekt som utforsker hvordan design kan tilrettelegge for at flere av Norges befolkning tar samtalen om organdonasjon, og blir kjent med hverandres ønsker og standpunkt. I dag står rundt 400-500 mennesker i kø, i vente på et nytt organ og 2021 var året med det laveste antallet organdonasjoner på 10 år.
Gjennom prosjektet utforsket vi temaet organdonasjon fra ulike perspektiv og snakket med helsepersonell, donorer, potensielle donorer og etterlatte. Innsikten vår resulterte i tjenesten Vite. Et samarbeid mellom Stiftelsen Organdonasjon og andre aktuelle aktører som Røde Kors førstehjelpskurs og NorgesGruppen. Dette er hvor tjenesten kan introduseres. Tjenesten består av et samtaleverktøy som inviterer til en samtale bestående av fire deler. Det starter med to introduksjonskort, etterfulgt av fem kunnskapskort, videre kommer to refleksjonskort før de siste to avrundingskortene.
Kortene skal være en støttespiller til hvordan snakke om organdonasjon og lede veien i samtalen. Målet med kortene er å fasilitere for en åpen samtale og støtte med grunnleggende kunnskap underveis. Vite består også av en utvidelse av Stiftelsen Organdonasjons app med en digital huskeliste hvor ønskene som deles kan legges inn.
Målet med samtaleverktøyet og vårt diplomprosjekt er ikke i hovedsak å få folk til å si «ja» til organdonasjon, men å gjøre befolkningen mer bevisst på tematikken og tilrettelegge for at flere kjenner sine nærmestes ønsker til organdonasjon. En bonus av dette kan være et mulig ja.
Hovedmålet er å lette pårørendes situasjon på sykehuset hvor de alltid må videreformidle avdødes standpunkt til organdonasjon dersom det skulle være aktuelt. Vite har som mål å forebygge at pårørende skal si «nei» fordi de ikke kjenner avdødes standpunkt. Ved å kjenne hverandres ønsker er man mer forberedt om spørsmålet en dag skulle komme opp. Dette kan også bidra til å lette situasjonen for helsepersonell som må stille pårørende spørsmålet på sykehuset.submittedVersio
Long-term temporary - Housing the long term sick
No full textThere is an interaction between human health and the built environment. How we design our buildings affect us. A good physical environment can stimulate, engage and improve a person’s sense of coherence and thereby promote health. Architecture can be healing.
In my diploma I look into the significance of architecture in patient accommodation. Long-term sick children are perhaps the most vulnerable group of patients, and even though they have the unique ability to continue to live and play even when they are ill, today’s small, white and grown up hospital rooms are not arranged for being a child.
The project focuses on creating a home away from home for patients traveling from across the country to the regional pediatric cancer ward in Oslo. These patients have to stay at the ward at Rikshospitalet regardless of their health condition or length of stay, while patients living close to the regional ward are offered “advanced home hospital” and can receive a lot of treatment at home.
The project is an alternative accommodation facility that operates as an external extension of the existing children’s ward. The project serves as an intermediate stage between hospital and home and can house patients who are under moderate treatment. By still being in close proximity to the hospital and being manned 24 hours a day, the project will be able to provide the same medical treatment as advanced home hospital and more. In addition to patient units the project will offer shared space, supportive care, and be able to function as a pediatric cancer centre during the daytime, which will be a public offer for the entire children’s ward.
By introducing an external building, the project is able to keep a domestic scale, and is free to better respond to the patient group's specific needs. Moving parts of the ward will free up space in the hospital, enabling transformation and better use of existing space for those in need of more advanced care.submittedVersio
Collectively - Living together
No full textCould living in smaller spaces with access to shared spaces and shared functions foster a sense of community and provide a viable option to the present housing crisis?
This diploma investigates how shared spaces, shared functions, and architectural qualities in small spaces might result in more affordable housing in the center of Oslo. By considering collective housing, you may establish a community while creating smaller apartments with access to bigger shared facilities.
The project consists of three buildings on a selected site in Gamle Oslo:
- The Co-house - a cooperative housing development where residents have access to shared spaces and functions while living in private accommodations.
- The Collective - a cooperative housing complex where four people share a cluster unit with a shared kitchen and living area, separate bedrooms, and bathrooms. All cluster units have access to project-wide common rooms and functions.
- The Community House - a small structure with a kitchenette and shared areas in the center of the block that serves as a gathering place for everyone living there.
The chosen site contains existing housing in the form of an open block. The new buildings add to this structure, closing the site off more, without eliminating the qualities of an open block, but still adding an additional sense of privacy, which is one of the problems on the block today.
In the Collective each floor consists of two cluster units and a shared program in the middle, these shared programs are laundry room, event space, study and hobby room.
In the Co-House shared program is mainly on the ground floor, but there are also shared winter gardens on the first to fourth floor.
Living smaller
Smaller spaces can be a solution to making housing more affordable. It is important that architectural qualities are kept, and with careful spatial design of smaller units, the same architectural qualities as of larger spaces can be achieved.
There are three apartment typologies in the Co-House:
- The Flat - 30 sqm, 1 bedroom
- Duplex 1 - 50 sqm, 1-2 bedrooms
- Duplex 2 - 80 sqm, 2-3 bedroomssubmittedVersio
Bikinifabrikken
No full textThis diploma project is about Bikinifabrikken, a wool factory at Figgjo from 1905, that has been abandoned since the production ended in 1981.
In the 1920s the factory entered an adventure of being the leading producer of swimsuits in Norway and the Nordic region, and in this project I propose to transform the building into a cultural center with workshops and exhibitions that shed light on the building’s colorful, fun and provocative history. By maintaining a connection to the past, while opening the building up to the public, more people can share my excitement about the history of Bikinifabrikken.
Since I started working on the research for the project, I have had a desire to work with a program where the history of the place can be included and passed on to the visitors.
Throughout the development of the project, I have focused on how both locals and tourists visit the place. How can the project function both as a meeting place for Figgjo’s population, and as a destination for those who come from afar?
The factory building has stood in disrepair for over 40 years, without any particular maintenance being undertaken. Nevertheless, the building stands firm, due to the durable construction in brick and wood.
The bare body of the building has stood there on the river bank, with its large, beautiful rooms - unique in its local context, and without a certain future.
In this project, I have focused on preserving the existing architectural qualities and working from the building’s own premises. In order to preserve the open, airy spaces, I have chosen to add necessary functions and infrastructure as independent interventions at specific points in the building, which break with the existing structure.submittedVersio
Within and Without - Three Resilient Structures in a Regional City
No full textThis investigation begins with a simple question: How can a structure be designed to outlive its initial purpose? If a structure is to find relevance beyond the program it is first constructed for, qualitative aspects must outweigh quantitative criteria.
If the container is to outlive its contents, perhaps it must truly belong to the context it is situated within. This is easier said than done, especially in areas undergoing rapid development where past, present and future contexts stand at odds with each other.
This diploma investigates the possibility of a robust and resilient architecture, constructed of and for its context, and designed to succeed its initial purpose.submittedVersio
Youth Club - Space for Exploration and Develpoment
No full textThis thesis explores how a building and its spatial qualities can promote unorganized social activities for young people in Bjerke, Oslo. It highlights the youth club as a contributor to the rising demand for diverse leisure offerings in an area that is expecting massive urban development and extensive growth both in housing and population.
Today’s strict building codes require buildings to use climate-neutral and local materials. This implies that we should use building materials differently when constructing new buildings. The impending development of Bjerke, Oslo, involves substantial excavation works. This thesis explores whether these excavated masses can be used as building material for a youth club. The point of departure was to design a building that contextually re-frames its urban context while also investigating its materiality and layout. The thesis proposes to build a youth club with rammed earth; that will be a space for social gatherings with little to no predefined activity.submittedVersio
Fjære Skole
No full textMitt prosjekt er et forsøk på å designe en velfungerende skole med en relativt solid base i praktisk byggeteknikk med massivtre som hovedmateriale.
Formålet med oppgaven er å utforske massivtre som konstruktiv arkitektur. Utvikle et uteområde som komplementerer bygget og programmet. Designe en barneskole med god arkitektonisk kvalitet og realisme.
Barneskole med syv trinn og SFO.
40 elever pr trinn, totalt 280 elever.
Uteområde med varierte lekemuligheter.
Fotavtrykket av hovedbygget er 1900 m2.
Den eksisterende barneskole på tomten skal i løpet av 2022 rives og en ny skole skal bygges. Et nytt prosjekt er allerede planlagt, mitt prosjektet søker ikke etter å være et alternativt forslag men heller en opportunistisk utforskning.
Lyd og lys er viktige faktorer, alle takhøydene er 2.8 meter eller mer for å få inn nok dagslys. Tre diffuserer lyset naturlig og takhøyden vil hjelpe med å holde godt inneklima. Gulv-dekket er belagt med 50mm betong for å redusere høy og lavfrekvenser.
Planleggingen har i stor grad inkludert uteområde også. Området rundt er idyllisk med fotballbane og horisont i vest og “hundremeter skogen” i sør. Denne bevares slik som den er men med en introduksjon av nye leke-elementer.submittedVersio
The Digital as Technique
Get PDFThe digital as technique is an exploratory design project looking at opportunities in AI, screens and NFTs in the context of literature. It has been split into three parts where these materials have been explored separately. The approach has been formed by the materials.
The goal has been to explore the material qualities of the different materials and create artifacts that can spark ideas and strategies for publishers. My main target group for this diploma has been publishers and authors.
The result of this diploma has been three artifacts. A booklet of curated texts generated by the AI model GPT-3. A fully digital publisher publishing stories in formats that fits the device, take a look at www.literarywaves.com, and a poetry NFT collection created in collaboration with Gyldendal.submittedVersio
Drømmer om en ny normal
Get PDFDrømmer om en ny normal er et utforskende diplomprosjekt om fremtid, med konkret fokus på klesbransjen og vårt forhold til klær. Utgangspunktet for oppgaven var min frustrasjon over å vite at vår livsstil bidrar negativt i klimakrisen: Vi blir fortalt at radikal endring trengs raskt, men ikke hvorfra endringen skal komme, eller hva den innebærer for livene våre.
Oppgavens leveranse er ikke et løsningsforslag, men en samling av ideer for å skape samtale og se muligheter i klesbransjens fastsatte struktur. Ideene er designet som oversettelser av teori om fremtiden: Hver for seg gir de innblikk i et fiktivt samfunn som har skapt alternativer til den destruktive klesindustrien. Oppgavens hensikt er å formidle muligheter for endring og utfordre det klesbransjen i dag definerer som mulig.
Ideene jeg har laget befinner seg i et samfunn som praktiserer, støtter og tilbyr tjenester som skal dekke klesbrukernes klesbehov, samtidig som global klesproduksjon trapper ned. Offentligeog private aktører jobber sammen om sin felles visjon; klær på jordens premisser.submittedVersio
