sdr 1.74 final presentation, fall 2010

SDR_1.74

Our studio, SDR_1.74, will use knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm to introduce a theory capable of revitalizing an existing inefficient environment into one that is adaptable, self-sustaining, and progressive.

subSystem_13 meets with Torleiv Bilstad, Professor at the University of Stavanger October 23. 2009 10.00 University of Stavanger Cafeteria

_After getting our coffee or hot chocolate, we settled in to listen as Professor Bilstad regaled us with his knowledge of the Stavanger area, Norwegian lifestyles, economic and environmental concerns, and a few general life sentiments. *Based on engineers calculations: 1+1=2 *On the subject of Sustainability: We have to engage a global culture and community, avoid greed, define which scale we are talking about—absolute or relative—and determine how far into the future we are looking. What is our responsibility? 2060? *Stavanger is jealous of Sandnes—there is a lot of space for the city to grow—Stavanger has already reached its limits. Who knows what the area will be like in 50 years. *Saturday at noon on Lang St. in Sandnes is cozy—a great place to grow up. *You have a better chance to succeed if you put in the work to get there; its not ‘luck’, its calculated risk. *’Life is so interesting... and I have never been this old before!’

“We can not become international if we keep reading the rules in Norwegian!”

- Torleiv Bilstad.

How do we develop tools capable of instigating change in an environment? What are the qualities of these tools?


How do we develop these strategies specific to the inefficient qualities of Sandnes?

Qualities of Strategies

Ensure an adaptable and self-sustaining environment

Instigate the reactive revitalization process

React uniquely depending on the changing local and global contextual vari-ables

Exist in all dimensions of an environment

Admit that the future is uncertain and irregular and allow for improvisation of results

Permeable, Harmonious, Imaginative, Diverse, and Adaptable



FABRIC_ a repetitive cohesive texture related to the human scale and existing environment.

NODE_ the dynamic intersection of various energies in the form of flows.

BLANKET_ the co-existence of flows in all dimensions.

STITCH_ development of flows between nodes.

Why was the Fabric instigated as a strategy? How was it developed?

Strategies instigate the reactive revitalization process towards an efficient environment and reform inefficient qualities that may arise in the future.

An efficient environment will form from the existence of a certain pattern related to the importance of being human.


Strategies Create Sustainable Habits and Movement

Street Car Route

A flexible infrastructure allows mass transportation systems to adapt over time and serve a high density of people with little time cost to the consumer.


Designing for systems to never happen sigularly creates an efficient infrastructure that is easily adaptable over time.

Highways Rail Line Intermodal Transit Hub from Old to New



Controlled development of the city allows infrastructures to adapt and service different needs over time without becoming obsolete. Flexibility of service structures allow for varying programmatic changes in the future.

Location of Parking Areas


Urban green spaces connects dense areas to the natural environment.

Strategies Working Together Activate Sandnes as a Destination within Norway


Bridges in the city encourage flow in a loop rather than linearly along the coast towards Stavanger, thus enabling Sandnes as a destination.


Cultural community spaces attract and incite the creative class within Norway.

a revitalized inefficient environment capable of sustaining itself?

capable of fueling a creative class and knowledge based economy?

capable of self-organizing in the uncertain conditions of the future?
