"Mortal Engine is a new dance-video-music-laser performance using movement and sound responsive projections to portray an ever-shifting, shimmering world in which the limits of the human body are an illusion."
The Process of Architecture
A pretty decent run-down on the process of architecture from the homeowners point of view. More on it in the Buildblog here.
Peter Zumpthor
Watercolor painting and pencils. Yes please! Photos of Peter Zumpthor's work over at sushi lover's flickr-account.
Paris Paris Paris
We are on the flight right now, very tired and excited! Paris for the next 10 days. Looking forward to the sunny spring weather.
Research And Criticism
"Architectural research and architectural criticism". Sounds like a smart and heady heading. Its an event arranged by The Nordic Association for Architectural Research and the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art, NTNU. This event runs from the 25th throughout 28th this month. Two questions; would anyone send a transcript and why is this not in Oslo, as well? So, if your in Trondheim, then do like Facebook and click attend.
Speakers:
Wilfried Wang, Architect, Professor, University of Texas (US/D)
Jan Olav Jensen, Architect, Jensen & Skodvin Architects (N)
Claes Caldenby, Architect, Professor, Chalmers (S)
Bård Helland, Architect, AHO (N)
Birgit Cold, Architect, Professor, NTNU (N)
Nina Berre, Architect, CEO Norsk Form (N)
Climbing Wall
Interesting idea. However, seems a bit too dramatic on the photos. That's just too high up there for me. More on it here.

AHO is the second most popular school in Norway when it comes to applicants per slot. Read more here.

Expansion Of The Holy Mosque
An example on how to design for visability, capacity and movement in a mosque.
Norway vs China
Just for the cultural distance our architecture teachings presents, I'm really intrigued about maybe leaving abroad for architecture school. Should be a healthy experience questioning all the stuff school teach you as an undergraduate. Not so sure about the food and traffic, though. Bikes might be fun, but aren't those banned now? Underneath, Wang Shu tells a little bit about changes in 1980's China and how architecture ought to be taught.
Architectural Models
What is it with physical architectural models that digital renders never can achive? Here is a post, read the comments.
Spring Time
The spring has finally come to Oslo. I love the little girl's red hair against the blue flowers.
AHO Spring Party 09
Mark your calendars! AHO's annual Spring Party will take place at our school on April 25th. We won't be there because we'll be in lovely Paris, but everyone else should definitely stop by!
