A project in which diamond dust is scattered over the gallery floors beneath the diamond vault ceilings of the architectural museum in Oslo, a former bank. The tiny diamonds will be spread by visitors, sticking to their soles, dispersing the dust throughout the building, streets and town, investigating ideas of economic inequality, de-luxuriation and commodification of capital.

While he and the other ...

Ormsundveien Økogrend is a proposal for a housing project on and around Bekkelagstunet, a former military camp by Ormøya in Oslo. Our aim is to establish a sustainable and socially inclusive living environment. A preliminary report on the project by Eriksen Skajaa Arkitekter / Fragment (funded by the The Norwegian State Housing Bank) addresses matters ranging from low-tech upgrades of existing building stock and self- build schemes, to urban farming and communal living. We believe that an important step towards a climate conscious future is the realization of successful examples of how we can live in ways that are not based on ...
