Kårk Magazine

Kårk Magazine is out with a call for contribution for their up-coming issue Borderland. So to any students in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland or Finland studying architecture, forward your contribution to kark@stud.aarch.dk by December 4th.

"On the line between two countries. In the door opening between inside and outside. A dream between awake and asleep. The field between two professions. Between two defined borders is a place we want to explore in the next issue of KÅRK. We have choosen to call it Borderland."

We had a blast at the party for Syver last weekend. Thanks! Siggen did a nice job folding origami animals. Pierre had too many fortune cookies. Guess he has a bright future ahead.

Säynätsalo Town Hall

A while back Anders, Sebastion and me analyzed Alvar Aalto's Säynätsalo town hall. There are a few of them, and of all the projects I've delved into as school assignments, this one has made a lasting impression on me.

Social Awareness

By way of them, I read this. Uplifting stuff, so go on read it. And inherently I would always think that Norwegian architecture students mostly had their diploma agendas deeply rooted in a dearness towards society and with critical inquiry discuss elements that make up a sense of community. Phew! The article talks about this tendency currently present at architecture school's in Norway.

For our urbanism course this year our group is drawing a data center. Investigating what sort of urbanity, or non-urbanity, we can milk of such a center, looking at its material and immaterial implications in an urban setting and researching the invisible infrastructure that stems from broadband cables. Here are some fun videos to reference. More juicy stuff over at Archdaily.
