The design process of Leikegøta started with a
competition divided into two steps. The students
worked in different groups and got to investigate the
site and what could be build there. At the end of the
competition the students gathered in one big group
to develop the final design together.
The first competition was about gathering several
ideas for the design. The proposal was supposed to
be something that could be build on a plot reserved
for a playground, something that the community
could use and to show local materials and building
techniques. The students worked in groups of five,
and ten proposals were delivered.
Together we chose three types of designs to work
further with. The chosen ones were the “tun”, the
grid and frames. These were chosen because of their
clear concepts and by interest of the students and
teachers.
