Presentasjon Metamorfose

Here is the presentation from the auditorium

Metamorfose fall 2011 in Xian

The project course (15cr), as well as its knowledge module (7,5) is based on the research and the courses that have been given at the Metamorfose Centre at the Institute of Architecture, Design and Management for the last ten years.

The link to XIAN is based on our faculty’s 20 years of collaboration with the University of Xian, and our course will be supported by the Chinese staff at the NTNU office in XIAN as well as by professors of XIAN University.

The antropology course (7,5 cr) has been given by Lisbet Sauarlia every fall for many years. It will have Chinese students as well as NTNY students, and serve as an introduction to China and Chinese culture as well as a chance to meet and to work with Chinese students.

Our course package:

Metamorfose studio  AAR4540  15 cr instructor OM/OS

Metamorfose knowledge      AAR4851 7,5 cr instructors OS/OM/SB

Architecture and Anthropology AAR4804 7,5 cr (SL)

AAR4540 The studio course is based on the structure and topics that we have been developing over the last ten years at Metamorfose: project development/densification around public transportation

hubs.

The semester will start with a 3 week charrette on a new hub in Trondheim; starting with a quick survey, analysis, concept, sketch project and presentation.

After warming up in Trondheim, we’ll leave for China. In Xian we’ll be introduced to the new extensions of the metro system and the new hubs that are about to be created around the old imperial capital, now about be surrounded by the growing city. One or more of these hubs will be selected as sites for the project that will be developed through the rest of the semester.

Emphasis will be given to developing architectural concepts based on an understanding of urban context as well as of the cultural and economic dynamics that drive urban change and project development.  Students will be trained in- and expected to do brainstorms, and to quickly come up with concepts, to illustrate, present and communicate them.

The final projects will be submitted in the format of a website. Check earlier years in the blog post below.
