Motion

​

"Society in Motion" is a three years summer workshop series  together with students and researchers from Bergen Architecture School, Angewandte Wien and the University of Liechtenstein. The aim of the workshop is to investigate architectural and spatial challenges for new emerging society in motion from various perspectives. The workshops are supported by an Erasmus+ grant for strategic partnership for higher education.

Workshop 2017 Skilling landscapes

borne in Norway

The discovery of Norwegian North Sea oil in December 1969, led to a heady transformation in the built environment and settlement patterns of the nation’s Western coastline. Whilst the broad phenomena of specialist industrialisation and urbanisation has been widely documented, the 2017 «Societies in motion» Summer workshop will seek to uncover the spatial complexities that have evolved in response to the movement patterns of successive generations of skilled labour migrants in Norway. Multi-scalar explorations of shortlisted localities, using various interdisciplinary techniques, will provide opportunity to document and celebrate this half century of technical, cultural, economic and social migration, and to propose enhancement through alternative spatially designed interventions.
