Design project critique - thrusday 27th of october

Thursday the 27th of October the different groups presented the current statuses of their design projects.

The class is now split between two different sites which both are related to metro stations on the newly opened metro line: South Weiqu and Daminggong West.

The students working near the Daminggong West station have split up in two groups and are developing two different concepts for a complex building that connects to the metro station:

• Dragon, by Veslemøy Grindvik, Alexandra Klein and Aprigio Chavez
• Unnamed project investigating complexity and density, by Mortiz Kerschbaum, Fatima Farran and Anette Rudshaug

The students working on the South Weiqu station are working separately, but with a main concept (temporarily named "The Pancake") for the site connecting them loosely - similar to a think tank:

• Zero Emission Hub (and introduction to concept), by Line Myrenget
• Cross Hub, by Marie Sætre
• The Underworld, by Tarjei Ekelund
• High tech caves, by Julien Papaud
• Life between layers, by Helder Matos

Anthropology- and travel presentations in Xi'an

During our stay in Xi'an we presented three short anthropological studies conducted in Trondheim. The theme was "Gates and Thresholds":

• Initmacy in public spaces, by Aprigio Chavez, Marie Sætre, Line Myrenget and Tarjei Ekelund
• Trondheim's cemetary, by Julien Papaud, Heldes Matos and Veslemøy Grindvik
• Bakklandet, by Moritz Kerschbaum, Fatima Farran, Anette Rudshaug and Alexandra Klein

We also made presentations of our first week in China. We split up in four groups and travelled from three different cities (Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong) towards Xi'an:

• Exploring China (Beijing - Xi'an), by Line Myrenget and Marie Sætre
• Chinatripping (Beijing - Xi'an), by Anette Rudshaug, Fatima Farran, Moritz Kerschbaum and Tarjei Ekelund
• Shanghai, by Alexandra Klein and Julien Papaud
• Hong Kong, by Helder Matos, Aprigio Chavez and Veslemøy Grindvik
