GK6 COMMONS - Place and Territory in the
North
Studio 61 106 in landscape architecture, introduces
subarctic geographies and challenges. Commons – Place and Territory in the North
provided basic insight into and experience with methods and tools for landscape-based
mapping, analysis and landscape architectural project development under northern
conditions. The studio draw on urban approaches and landscape ecological understanding
models thought in the elective courses in landscape theory led by Janike Kampevold
Larsen, and ecology led by Kari Anne Bråthen. The projects produce new knowledge
about the place, the territory and the dynamic landscapes we investigate by creating
strategic future cartographies and designing landscape architectural projects that
relate to possible sustainable futures.
Fieldwork in the fishing village of Ballstad
in Lofoten with studies of the local environment and interaction with local politicians,
planners, moving image artists and architects built the foundations for the design
of meeting places, and new commons.
