Set in Oslo, the project creates a research center for architecture, made for conducting experiments in a 1:1 scale. Through research, the project aims to connect architects with a variety of professions, and users from the local community of Tøyen. This will create a synergy of people and spaces, working together to create innovative solutions to societal and environmental challenges.
This mapping includes an urban analysis of the city of Oslo, the neighborhood of Tøyen and the site of the research center and its actors.
