ON A MOVE TO COME ACROSS

(2021)

Master projekt at Bergen School of Architecture.

(Group project together with Aleksandra Ivashevich and Camilla Nneka Inalu)

The project is situated in Granvin, a small town in Hardanger. Through a program consisting of a place of exchange, a common kitchen and a number of workshops, two pedestrian networks are connected.

In 1988 most of the Hardanger railway was disassembled. The line connecting Granvin and Voss has been gradually turned into a bicycle path. Nowadays, the route is actively used for regular walks, as it stretches from Granvin to the picturesque landscape of a valley. However, due to the feature of a railroad construction it is excluded from the basic pedestrian infrastructure of the town.

At the prospective intersection of various routes, the project proposes a connecting segment of the walkway. It is laid through meadows along the river and anchored by two public sites. Those are the nodes of the town – places of an interwoven exchange.
