By giving new life to an abandoned structure and its surroundings at Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo, this project investigates the role of architecture as a medium, and how the museum’s buildings appear as both objects, containers and elements of signage. With a focus on architectural identity, the intervention aims to highlight the relation between the individual, the nation and the built environment.

The project is a part of the museum Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo, and is focused on a corner of the museum called Oscar II's Collection.

Master in Architecture, The Royal Danish Academy, Spatial Design

Studying at the Master Programme in Spatial Design has made me realize the importance of focusing on the human scale. I have gained knowledge about how architecture and design are aspects closely related, and that the connection between interiority and exteriority is essential in the design of a building. The Programme examines the relationship between architecture, design and people from three perspectives: The historical, the anthropological and the tectonic/material. Through these studies I have also been introduced to a more theoretical approach, which I have discovered can contribute to a more comprehensive awareness when working with architecture and spatial design.

Bachelor in Architecture, The Royal Danish Academy, Complexity Handling in Practice

In the bachelor’s programme I was introduced to a holistic understanding of architecture, with the context as a main focal point. I was taught how to design a space, an area or a landscape with both totality and details taken into account, while letting both the physical, social and cultural context be in focus when creating a new design.
