Grønn data - fra stue til Storting
Get PDFGrønn Data - fra stue til Storting er et designprosjekt om dataforbruk, holdningsendringer og ringvirkninger i det digitale grønne skiftet. Prosjektet utforsker hvordan man kan bidra til å skape en bredere forståelse for hvordan dataforbruk påvirker miljøet og hvordan vi kan designe digitale produkter som støtter opp under dette.
Digitale teknologier har en avgjørende rolle for det grønne skiftet og er et av de viktigste verktøyene man har for å redusere utslipp i en rekke sektorer, men den eksplosive veksten i forbruket vårt er i ferd med å utfordre de positive effektene. Klarer vi å redusere det totale dataforbruket vårt vil overgangen til et klimanøytralt samfunn være enklere.
Grønn Data er en visjon av hvordan et miljøvennlig mobilabonnement i Norge kan se ut. Konseptet utforsker hvordan man kan bygge bevissthet og støtte til klimaspørsmål rundt dataforbruk ved hjelp av inkrementelle gradvise endringer i kjente bruksrom
Gjennom en tjenesteleverandør som forplikter seg til å kompensere for energiforbruk med grønn energi, en applikasjon som omsetter data til en anvendelig valuta og verdsetter innsatsen din skal produktet oppmuntre til, og belønne sparsomhet.
Målet med oppgaven er å bidra til en underrepresentert og stadig mer aktuell diskusjon i det grønne skiftet og vise hvordan vi som designere kan overføre kunnskap om det man vet funker til kjente digitale produkter
A house in a neighbourhood
No full textThis project is a house for 12- 14 dwellers in a diverse neighbourhood at Grønland, on the east side of Oslo. A house in a neighbourhood is a home that is developed for the collective. The idea is that ”the whole house is mine”. The project intends to investigate on how we live together and how two books can generate architecture.submittedVersio
Mot en grønn areal- og regionplanlegging : tendenser i det norske plansystemet
Get PDFDenne forskningsrapporten inneholder artikler som bygger på empiri fra forskningsprosjektet Urban EEA (Urban Experimental Eco system Accounting) finansiert av Norges forskningsråd. NINA (Norsk institutt for naturforskning) ved David Barton, har ledet prosjektet. SSB (Statistisk Sentralbyrå) og AHO (Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo) har vært partnere i prosjektet. Urban EEA har dreid seg om verdsetting av naturgoder (Eco system Services) og utvikling av naturregnskap for byer. I en del av prosjektet er dagens arealbruk og prinsipper for planlegging og arealbruk i Osloregionen studert. Dette, sammen med andre studier som er gjennomført om norsk stedlig og regional planlegging, danner grunnlag for artiklene i rapporten.publishedVersio
The Moongrove Garden: At the tide country where man meets the mangroves
Get PDFThe coastal human forest interface of the Bengal delta is locally called ‘The Country of Tides’, where an inhospitable saline land of mangrove meets manmade freshwater landscapes in the fractal matrix of countless rivers and channels that are fed by brackish moon tides. To ensure a flood and saline free inland, people had to create control over this landscape and as a result, the interface is divided into polders and forests today. But in this archipelago of loam clay, which is a hotspot for a range of ecological, geomorphic, and cultural diversities, is the answer to the question of how ‘Man Should Meet the Mangroves’, that simple?submittedVersio
Revitalizing Nygård factory
Get PDFToday, Oslo city is largely a big housing estate, scattered with cafés and culture institutions. The previously producing city has become the recreational city. I would like to reintroduce production in Oslo. My thesis is to transform an old paint factory into a space for our current production needs and habits.
Working with transformation is different than building something from scratch. The concept must be the structure itself, its odd details, organizational logic, and existing qualities. These can be exaggerated or hided, but they are there, waiting to be addressed. This is, in my opinion, what makes transformation interesting.
The chosen site is in Gamle Oslo, constrained between Alna River and the railway. The building is carried by a column and beam system in concrete. All functions and circulation are placed in one corner to enable as much space as possible to the production. The structural and organizational logic offers flexibility.
The site and the building have some obvious shortcomings, both in terms of infrastructure, universal design, and comfort. Emphasizing the existing architectural qualities has however been the most present challenge. The most important tasks have been to improve the accessibility, add sufficient supply of daylight and connect the indoor and the primeval forest outdoor.
Through small but important interventions I hope to revitalize Nygård factory, making it a functional workspace more adapted to our current production habits. I wish to intervene in a gentle way, as to not ruin the possibilities to further transform this beautiful functionalist structure in the future.submittedVersio
Healing the hurt together
No full textSexually abused children can sometimes struggle to do things to care for themselves. The demand for help was so great. Although effective treatments have been developed, they are not widely available, and sometimes when children try to help themselves they often make matters worse.This diploma is about helping children to recover from the mental effects of sexual abuse by using self-healing products. The target user group is 7 to 14 years old survivors in China, especially left-behind children.
Together is a mental health recovery toolbox containing different products to assistant a long-term self-healing program.
1. Physical grounding tools:
It is common for a survivor to experience vivid images of rape or sexual abuse, making them feel as though the event is happening all over again. These vivid images are known as flash-backs and are active memories of a past traumatic event. Children do not have sufficient expe-rience in finding calm but must learn to reduce discomfort in some ways. Grounding strategies and tools that can help children manage stress reactions and cope with flashbacks: Get ground-ed and focus on the present, so that they know where they are and that they are no longer trapped in a situation they cannot escape from.
2. Mind game:
This card game is useful for survivors to learn more about common reactions to trauma and PTSD. When they learn that the symptoms of PTSD are common, they will realize that they are not alone, weak, or crazy. This game can be played by single or multiple players. Conveying information about common reactions to trauma can be helpful, not only to the child but also to the people around him or her, including parents, teachers... Knowing what to expect and what reactions are most common can relieve adults’ worries that the child will not recover or will be damaged forever. This information can also be useful before a traumatic event, and thus can be used in a preventative format.
How to get this product:
If the survivor is unable to seek psychological assistance services for various reasons and there is no relative or friend to support him (for example, a sexual assaulter is a familiar person or his/her family decides to hide this matter), the survivor may see this product online or media, it can be booked directly through the Internet or telephone. If someone is a relative or friend of the survivor, they can also order this product and give it to the survivor. The non-profit organization will also give the product to survivors, and they will distribute this kit to schools, it is also an opportunity to give sex education for students.
I hope this product can help more survivors of sexual assault. Throughout this kit, I want to remind them that they deserve to take care of themselves and to live a fulfilling life. Re-covery isn’t an overnight thing so go easy on themselves, be patient, and use this healing kit. It’s getting help to minimize the effects of the mantel illness and promote recovery. Maybe with those products, they can cure themselves at home. Because “Things are going to happen that you don’t think you can handle but in the end the only person that can get you through something is yourself”.submittedVersio

Get PDFSchool of Repetition
The building where you send your kids on a regular basis, in the vague hopes that someday they might be as good as you almost where. Thus, the cycle of learning - unlearning keeps rolling. The school is big, plain, grey and made to evoke feelings of terror, shame, disgust, and pre-sexual curiosity leading to yet more shame. The location is central due to the parents complaining about lack of fresh air in the classroom never doing them any harm. The school as an institution was originally meant to bring a sense of academic pride to the town, and offer recruitment to the lofty elite in the Church or the Bank, but after years of dedicated cheating and bullying, the students turned to more suitable work in the Courthouse or the Hotel, like their parents. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
House with Antcolony
A house was once built on top of a giant ant colony. The ants crawled all over the construction site, and finally the owner - who built the house for his parents who suffered greatly from dementia - understood that the ants had nowhere else to go, they were a part of this house, and had always been. So he made a strong glass wall in the centre of the house, where the ants could regain their lost territory above ground, and in addition gained a unique point of orientation throughout the house for his parents, who could sometimes get lost.
House of Postponing
Led Zeppelin once made a song called Stairway to Heaven. Why not make a point of stairways to houses, both in and out. It should take a while to enter and exit a house, and it should also be tiring in a way. It helps the mind acclimating to the new situation. Once inside, there is a general tension, an atmosphere of unnerving anticipation, and for some reason you can’t sit still. Maybe if you get the chance to climb down into the bunker, you can get some peace?submittedVersio
Bodily Boundary Objects - Exploring the meaning of identity through discursive design
No full textIdentity is a manifestation of our individual characteristics and intentions. It can be found in many different forms, spanning from physical features to abstract cultural elements. However identity is rarely a passive component of our lives, but rather a powerful tool we apply to make decisions or position ourselves in the society.
Through personal identity we express, we learn, we confront, we find others, we vote, we change, we hate and we love.
Can it be designed as a medium to empower people? Can it be used proactively to prepareusfor times ofuncertainty and hardship (for example in a global Pandemic)?
The bodily boundary objects are“soft speculations” extracted from anomalies of our New Normalcy. These are designed to engage with both general public and decision makers, attempting to offer a glimpse of how design can be used as a versatile tool to find common grounds within complex topics we are facing today, by expanding and adding depth, instead of simplifying and minimizing.submittedVersio
The Catskills: Re-enchantment of American Wilderness
No full textThe Catskills Mountains of New York state changed the way Americans view nature. It was the birthplace of the 19th century romantic landscape art movement known as the Hudson River School that inspired a sense of national pride in the American wilderness, and led to the emergence of nature tourism in the Catskills and beyond.
However, large scale landscape operations took place in order to make nature tourism convenient and comfortable for visitors, resulting in a contradiction - a reverence and marvel in the savage power of nature, yet a highly controlled manipulation of it in order to experience it in a romanticised way.
Today the Catskills is promoted as a wilderness area having been heavily reforested and most manmade structures removed. While the state has prioritized wilderness over heritage values, the Catskills Forest Preserve is not an area of true wilderness, but a cultural landscape. The area should be re-addressed to incorporate our hand in its shaping.
The project proposes a series of human-scale interventions that reimagine romantic era design principles to reflect the rich natureculture of this landscape. These landscape acts aim to raise a contemporary awareness to the forces of deep time of the geologic and glacial that shaped the vistas and cliffs, in relation to the more recent marks of man. The interventions exist hoping to spark a sense of reenchantment and surprise in this interconnection between species, spaces and time.submittedVersionInstitutt for urbanisme og landska
