what is the difference between a round and flat character

In this crossroad there is great potential for the architect to explore new architecture and new meaning. At the same time, the sustainability discussion confronts us with issues where the old building practice allows for ecological building methods based on local materials. Our times give us completely new opportunities to develop buildings.

This is an ambivalence, and a doubt that I think is more relevant than ever. In this lies, for me, a whole value discussion about the local and recognizable, versus the modern, machine-produced and contemporary. The combination of the prehistoric building parts and the modern technology gives the whole building an excitement that I, as an architect, see as the most interesting to work with. The task consisted of creating a facility of our time, but based on the past’s story about boathouses, local building customs and coastal culture. The client wanted to create a holiday home in the boathouse while maintaining the traditional boathouse functions on the boathouse’s ground floor. In this project, my task was to rebuild a two-hundred-year-old boathouse that was falling into decay. Naust (boat house) is a type of building that represents this coastal architecture. In the Norwegian coastal regions, a distinctive coastal architecture has developed at the meeting between land and sea. The Norwegian coast has been the central source of livelihood and settlements and has been a route for trade and cultural exchange for thousands of years.
