Common Ground by Atelier Oslo
Du ska itte trø i graset
spede spira lyt få stå.
Mållaust liv har og e mening
du lyt sjå og tenkje på.
På Guds jord og i hass hage
er du sjøl et lite strå.
By Einar Skjæråsen
Atelier
Oslo began this project with an idea of confrontation, the
confrontation between the urban and the rural, between man and nature.
They discussed moving living elements into the gallery. How would it be
to experience the gallery filled with butterflies? They were curious
to see how the living world would interact with the gallery space.
The
built environment is generally intended to shelter us from nature. The
exhibition Common Ground by Atelier Oslo proposes a reversal; the
gallery space will shelter a piece of nature - the forest. The visitor
will be asked to enter the forest and walk around barefoot. There are
no designated routes to follow and no particular object to see, only
the physical and sensory experience of being in the forest. Through
smells, sounds and textures the visitor will be placed in direct and
intimate contact with a borrowed landscape. The installation will be
lit throughout the night, so that the forest can be seen anytime. The
captured nature will start to decompose in response to the interior
climate, and in return it will weather the gallery.
Common
Ground is a fantastical landscape that embodies the dream of a perfect
hideaway. The olfactory, auditory and tactile experiences prevail the
visitors´ mind to travel to an imaginary place: far away from the busy
urban life. By being placed in the city, the trees take on a mythical
status. The fragile living flora and fauna in this delicate forest
draws your attention to the vulnerability of life. Common Ground offers
a place to repose and inspires us all to rethink the relationship
between nature and the built environment.
Atelier Oslo is a
young architects practice consisting of four partners; Nils Ole Bae
Brandtzæg (b.1975), Thomas Liu (b.1978), Marius Mowe (b.1973) og Jonas
Norsted (b.1973). They all trained at Oslo School of Architecture
(AHO). The partners have worked for a variety of recognized Norwegian
architects, such as Lund Hagem, Jensen og Skodvin, Knut Hjeltnes and
Sverre Fehn
The practice was established in 2006 after the
partners won 1st prize in the design competition “Norwegian Wood
Sandnes amfiscene”. The office has won several important competitions
since then, including for a housing development in Stavanger, a visitor
centre in Mosjøen and most recently the New Oslo City Library in
Bjørvika together with Lund Hagem.
Atelier Oslo received the
Young Designers award from Norsk Form in 2008 and were nominated for
the Mies van der Rohe award in 2009.
