UNDERSTANDING

A step back.

Trying to connect the dots and to understand the

character of the place - the bigger picture.

Dense clusters of trees surrounding the site.

Behind them, the mountains form a backdrop,

meeting with the skies.

Continuous lines only broken by the tree tops.

Ahead the view opens up towards the valley and the

mountains on the other side.

The bottom of the valley and the fjord below.

The road curving along the steep side of the valley,

in between the fjord and the cliffs, leading upwards

to the lake of Vangsmjøsa.

Towards the south, Hugakollen is reaching up from

the gentle mountains of eastern Norway.

Further west, Grindafjell is watching over the

farmland and the village below.

Across the lake, further west, you enter Jotunheim,

with its wild, jagged peaks, glaciers and crystal blue

waters.

Here.

In the centre of all this, where east meets west, the

project would find its form over the coming weeks.
