Layered Landscapes Lofoten (eBook, ePUB)

Understanding of Complexity, Otherness and Change

Beschreibung

This book discusses approaches towards landscapes under pressure and transformation, and the importance of unprejudiced and experimental investigations to reveal its natural and cultural complexity. Layered Landscapes Lofoten, Understanding of Complexity, Otherness and Change aims to challenge internalized concepts about how landscapes are considered and investigated, to open for alternative research, and legitimize subjective, singular and experimental approaches as valid and appreciated as a foundation for an informed process. These approaches take into consideration both the landscape and the practices taking place in the landscape, that are consistently full of individual and collective stories and experiences-the complexity created in both time and space, which influences our societies not only as traces of historical events, but as present realities and even expectations and what is to become. Under the concepts of complexity, imbrication, vulnerability, fieldwork, flexibility and reorientation ideas are developed, all based in the contemporary and historic layers of the dramatic and contested landscapes of the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway-where pressure from political decisions and structural changes, increasing tourism, a potential new oil industry and uncontrollable global forces' impact on nature and societies and cause continuous transformation and alteration of landscapes and topography, surrounding the traditional and modern fishing communities.

Autor

From their architectural practice 70°N arkitektur in Tromsø, Northern Norway, Magdalena Haggärde & Gisle Løkken have developed experimental and critical approaches to architecture and planning - in an Arctic context, but also concerning general perspectives on urban development in the light of severe global changes. The working methods, investigations and proposals are centered on notions of openness and planning for an unknown future, encompassing issues of multiplicity and indeterminacy - and are tested and processed through competitions, teaching, academic work and architectural practice.
