SCIENTIFIC AUTOBIOGRAPHY POSTCARDS/ 2017 as part of the ADAPT-r program

“ … between imagination and memory” (Aldo Rossi)

Why is it important that creative practitioners reflect on and unveil their modes of practice/research?

The call for Postcards aims to challenge creative practitioners in unveil their Scientific autobiography.

Scientific Autobiography identifies the narrative that a practitioner tells about their professional and research life.

In such narration the practitioner walks through the path of their memory, tracing a “red thread” and identifying connections and relations.

It is a collection of significant moments, insights and reflections through the practitioner’s projects and experiences, coming from the memory of the practitioners themselves. It can be told by different forms: written words, drawings, sketches, diagrams.

FRIrom – a room for emotion, St. Olav's Hospital, Trondheim

Architects: Maren Storihle Ødegård og Sunniva Huus Nordbø

People in emotionally precarious situations are especially sensitive to their physical surroundings. Nurse Mads Bøhle saw the need for a place at the hospital where family and visitors can retreat and be alone with their thoughts.

FRIrom was developed as a Master’s thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It is a small timber structure, built with digitally produced timber elements, insulated externally with recyclable wood fibre mats and clad with braided aspen strips.

The sky lit interior has a wool-covered mattress and one large cushion, and by leaving your coat and shoes at the door you signal to others that the room is in use.

Trond Clubhouse receives Trondheim Architecture award for 2013

The architectural intention was to shape a modest but unique environment which works simultaneously as part of a spacious outdoor facility and the traditional wooden buildings in the neighborhood. The design should especially address young people without being faddish. The new clubhouse consists of a simple pitched roof volume and a covered outdoor area that faces the football fields. The design of the facades with the white “brim” was determined by the important outdoor stair connection to the wardrobes in the basement. Onsite a single wardrobe building with two floors was located before.

Outdoor Activities in Middle Norway (63 ° north) are often influenced by the weather. Especially rain in combination with wind is factors that have a negative impact and limit low threshold social gatherings. The protected outdoor area increases the usability and extends the season of football tournaments, training and other activities. The semi-transparent roof is also partially drawn down the sides and establishes a favorable microclimate. Permanent “lounge”- benches of reused netting are key elements and contribute to invite to other informal activities for children and youth.
