FEASIBILITY STUDY OF SOUTH HARBOUR, HELSINKITh e motivation behind my thesis is to participate
in the relevant discussion about the placement of a
museum proposed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Foundation, on the waterfront of Eteläsatama
in the heart of Helsinki city. Th ere are mixed
opinions concerning if this is the right way of
regenerating the harbour. As an opposition to the
design competition launched by Guggenheim,
another party organises a “counter competition”
by name Next Helsinki. Th e aim is to create a
platform for discussion; alternative proposals for
the South Harbour - which I as a part of my thesis
participate and contribute to.
How to renew the South Harbour area of
Eteläsatama for future benefi t for the city of
Helsinki? Th e scope of my thesis is connected
to topics related to both the site, the South
Harbour as a whole, and strategies connected to
cost and investment. What else could there be?
Th e possibilities given by the capital which the
city is willing to invest in Guggenheim can be
transformed into something completely diff erent.
My thesis is an exploration towards what this
alternative could be, and how it could reintroduce
lost value and create new means to the South
Harbour.

Can I do, rather than watch?
Is there any possibilities of

What is an embassy? Th rough researching each function an embassy contains - dwelling, rituals, work and museum - new means of what an embassy can be was formulated.
What is a barrier? Th e theme refl ects upon both the physical and the mental aspects. An exploration towards a collection of sequanced spaces where functions can merge

The means of the hallway is extended - forming the hallway for socializing, playing and watching squash, with connection to the outdoor spaces next to the river

COMPOSING SPACES
THE CORRIDOR SPACCE
How to create and compose spaces
attached to diff erent programs and use?
Th rough this project, Branko Mitrovic
introduces the themes of visuality and
form in architecture.
By designing a squash center, the aspect
of visuality, composition and relation of
spaces are being discussed. Th e given site
is in a steep slope, which enables a range
of creating diff erent relations between
levels, spaces and forms/antiforms.
In my project I study the use of corridors
and hallways through times, and how it
could be reintroduced as a main space
where both the cirlution, activities of the
sports and socializing could happen.
Th e hallway becomes the main axix within
the project, which ties the diff erent parts
together.

What kind of potensial has a future
underground system for our society?
Th e task formulated by the tutors Boris Hocks and Kamiel Klaasse, brought up the aspect
of the role of an architect, right now and as well as in the future. Th e theme of creating
Amsterdam into a life resilient city confronted the group with questions and curiosity
about tomorrow´s trend. By analysing and
researching these, each individual would chose to develop a strategy/design within a
fi eld, by both fascination and relevance. In my project, I chose to focus on the hidden
possibilities undernaeth our feet. With research on already existing voids, the new metro
line development and scenarios, I create another layer to enrich and relief the existing
city. A reaction upon densifi cation and fl ow of people -remapping the functions within the
existing city.
Remapping the exsist ing ci ty, what wi l l happen? Sol id vs. void
TOMORROW´S AMSTERDAM - THE LIFE RESILIANT CITY
MY PROJECT SEEK TO EXPLORE THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM IN THE CITY - CAN IT BE MORE THEN JUST A TUNNELL? IS THERE A NEW MEANS OF MOVEMENT IN THE FUTURE? A POSSIBILITY TO CREATE ANOTHER LAYER TO THE CITY.

“GROUNDCRAPER”SKYSCRAPER
By analysing the Skyscrapers, todays answer to densification, what would the exactly the opposite be? Every element could be the opposite. The mirrored Skyscraper - the Groundscraper?
This new structure will allow you to have a peak down to another world. A void. A hole. A pathways which makes new connections between the existing city and its functions. A labyrinth to discover new places with new meanings. A TRANSITION toanother layer.
The new North/South Line is an example of how the city is coping with the pressure of people. The new line goes throughout the south of the city, ending up in the north of Amsterdam, and will relief the traffic in the city to some extent. An underground of approximately 10 km is been dug for this purpose. But is there more to it?
My transition connects to this metro line, and creates a vortex for the underworld traveller.

A FOOD HALLFOR THE PEOPLE AT SAUPSTAD
The course of Complex Buildings lead by Steffen Willenger was this year formu-lated to design a market hall in the city of Trondheim. My group was given a site in Saupstad, an area in the city with the most social problems. Is there a chance to turn this trend around with only one single building?
We suggest to “ZIP” the people together in Saupstad with three means: Cooking, harvesting and collective work. Our pro-posal is clarify the center of Saupstad, and situates inbetween the urban side - the street level, and the park zone on the upper level.

The average temperature in Norway is raising. And so is the amount of rain – statistics shows the further increase of rainwater will be almost 20 % in the next few years. There are already 200 rain days yearly in Trondheim and, like many other big cities; the city is struggling coping with the increasing amount of rainwater.
One normal household approximately uses 40 % of their total water usage f lushing down in toilet. If we as architects design structures that could save some of it, the rainwater could be used: Not only for our toilets, washing machines and plants, but also for creating good living environments.
HOW CAN RAIN WATER BE USEFULL IN OUR SOCIETY?
THROUGH HANDLING THE RAIN, WE CAN MAKE PLACES WITH IDENTITY, GOOD LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND INVITE TO ACTIVITY

Trondheim today: From the periph-ery and in to city centre. The city expands outwards
What if we turn it around? What
if the centre is in the periphery - a
borderline - and the city only grows
inside it
Trondheim´s development
Then connect an highly effective trans-
portation on this linear city, and avoid
bottle neck effect
There will be 5 Borderlines in Trond-
heim, whom together defines the city.
We are solving one of them - the on in
Lade
The starting point for this project was the area Lade, northeast in Trondheim, which is today highly debated in term of urban planning. Lade is today an industrial and commercial area, close by the city centre. By firstly analysing the existing situation, we would then create a new plan to solve the mono-use of the area and thinking future sustainability and how to cope with the increasing housing pressure in Trondheim.
My group discussed not only challenges Trondheim will encounter, but also all prob-lems the bigger cities are struggling with. The increasing population and the environmental questions made us look at the bigger picture – the future to come. A drastic change to how we plan cities have to be made – but what and how? Through this project we have explored new ways of thinking cities; from todays core model where the city is in the centre, to a linear city system.
