Balloon Party
Oslo Architecture Association held their annual summer party, this time in the pavilion in Tüllinløkka. I joined in and helped arrange 300 balloons for the event.
Visual Junkie
Bakgård went out for walk one day. Sprawlig somewhere inbetween Fagerborg and Bislett I caught this shot. Check their shop. Some nice goodies in there, too.
Modelmaking
We make models during the course of a semester at school, showing our interventions on the site. We use foam, paper, plastic and whatever materials we find and fit in our student budget. We seldom use light as a fixture in our models. Underneath is my own work model for a project we recently had at school.
This so far is the best model Bakgård ever have seen. Way to go setting the bar.

Peripheral Landscapes
Bakgård likes graphic design, especially when its helping grow awareness about the architecture environment.
Here's another one, also rasing awareness about human consumption and costs.
And one last one. About human consumption.

Traffic Awareness
Through the built environment we can raise awareness about traffic mortality. Bakgård likes raising the social good through architectural guerilla tactics such as this.
Doodling
Sketching is important for any architect, to communicate and capture essence of an immediate thought, so spend your money on this
Or you can sketch for fun like the guy in the video underneath.
Or like inside this guy's moleskin.

Nice documentray of what is Lomo. I'll try not to spam Bakgård with video links. The documentary is in seven pieces, and here is the first.
Architecture Video Renders
Visually, if you're trying to convince a jury of your proposal for a project, this is how you do it.
Amazing timing on this one.

Berlin Space
More initiatives for these types of spaces in Oslo makes Bakgård smile. More in Metropolis There are two decent ones in Oslo, ROM and 0047. And now, some more please. Thank you.
Nature As Your Client
A serious architect always consults with Nature. Having this said, work with Nature and not against. More on this in Metropolis.
Installation
Bakgård went to The Museum of Contemporary Art. This installation was on the piazza. Taken some time during February.

I found out which movie Julia was shooting in Rome. It's called Duplicity. The plot: A pair of corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) who share a steamy past hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses.
A Touch Of Hollywood
This little lady and Clive Owen was shooting a movie right beside Pantheon the first day we met up with our teacher. The movie crew kept telling us to move all the time. Hope the movie will be good.
