DAM architectural book award
The public award-giving ceremony will take place Wednesday, October 16 at 19:30 at the library of Deutsches Architekturmuseum (Hedderichstraße 108-110)⠀
All the awarded books are exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair Hall 4.1, Centre for Photography and illustration.
"The Frankfurt Book Fair and Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) are presenting the jointly initiated international DAM Architectural Book Award for the eleventh time.
The prize, unique in its kind and now highly regarded, honours the best architectural books of a year. 100 architectural and art book publishers from all over the world accepted the joint invitation to participate. A jury made up of external experts and representatives of DAM met to select the year's ten best architectural books from 227 entries. They based their decision on criteria such as design, content, quality of material and finishing, innovation, and topicality.
The wide range of topics and the high standard of the entries presented the jury with an enormous challenge. For this reason the jurors once again decided not only to pick ten prize winners, but also to select a further ten entries for the Shortlist of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2019."

Open City according to Richard Sennett
OBOS boligkonferanse 2019: Richard Sennett snakker lavmælt, men han er en skarp observatør og har refleksjoner om byen vi må lytte til. Sennett mener at det går et skille mellom det han beskriver som den åpne byen versus den lukkede byen (som i realiteten er det meste vi planlegger og bygger i dag). Den åpne byen er porøs og mottakelig mens den lukkede byen er homogen, statisk og repeterende. Han viser enkle eksempler - både historiske og samtidige der både det sosiale byliv og beredskap mot brå endringer på grunn av klimaendringer må håndteres. Sennet beskriver den mottakelige byen som tvetydig (ambiguous) og uferdig form der funksjoner og levd liv er blandet, mens den lukkede byen har barrierer, separasjon (sonering). Han er kritisk til innholdet i den teknologibaserte 'smartbyen' fordi teknologisk baserte funksjonelle løsninger ofte er rigide og ufleksible med 'to tight fit between form and function'. Sennet snakker om en grunnleggende humanistisk tilnærming til byen der alle skal ha en mulighet til å forme sine liv, og han viser med elegante eksempler at vi neppe kan løse byenes klimakrise - f.eks. stormvannsproblematikk med statiske bygg, men at et dynamisk problem må håndteres med dynamiske løsninger.

Hvilket ansvar har arkitektene i det grønne skiftet?
Read Gisle's article in Morgenbladet about the architects' role in the green shift: https://morgenbladet.no/ideer/2019/06/hvilket-ansvar-har-arkitektene-i-det-gronne-skiftet
"If degrowth is to become a concept of content and meaning, Whitehead's statement that creativity is the driving force of any process of change must be put into work - and the architects must seize the opportunities inherent in this statement to change both architecture and society, this time both as participants and experts."

Make a book - or read one!

"We need people who think and write, and editors who publish - and who dare to believe that it is still sometimes necessary to make a book, and not least to read one.”

Layered Landscapes Lofoten - understanding of complexity, otherness and change
Layered Landscapes Lofoten - understanding of complexity, otherness and change discusses approaches towards landscapes under pressure and transformation, and the importance of unprejudiced and experimental investigations to reveal its natural and cultural complexity.
The book 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.
Layered Landscapes Lofoten - understanding of complexity, otherness and change is based on the master studio Layered Landscapes Lofoten conducted at Bergen School of Architecture during the spring semester 2017.
Contributing to the book are:
Cecilie Andersson, Master of Architecture, PhD in Urban Planning and rector at Bergen School of Architecture
Tone Megrunn Berge, Master of Architecture and partner of Kaleidoscope Nordic
Anne Katrine Dolven, Artist based in Lofoten and London and former Professor at Oslo National Academy of the Arts
Anniken Førde, Dr.Polit in Community Planning and Cultural Understanding and Associate Professor of Community Planning at the University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway
Karoline Kalstveit, Master of Architecture
John Pløger, Dr.Art and Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Agder
Marianne Lucie Skuncke, Master of Architecture
Hermod Torbjørnson, Local expert, Fredvang, Lofoten
Trond Waage, Ph.D in Social Anthropology with specialization in Visual Anthropology and Associate Professor of Visual Cultural Studies at the University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway
and of course the students:
Anders Dommerud Tellefsen, Andreas Tveit, Anna Liisa Saavaste, Arne Magnar S. Nordhammer, Arnulf Mårdalen Hasle, Christian Solbakken, Eva Bull, Ingeleiv Andrea Utne Midtun, Jøran Sofie Olsen Bjørshol, Lara Engelking, Lassi Tulonen, Livie Avo Johansen, Maria Eugenia Salazar Rocha, Matt Breton-Honeyman, Pernille Kleppan Mørch, Pia Eide, Soheil Hivad Nabi, Stefanie Klem, Sum Ping Wong, Stephanie Steriotis, Stine Elise Kristoffersen, Sveinung Grøneng Havn and Victoria Helene Storemyr.
Layered Landscapes Lofoten - understanding of complexity, otherness and change is published by ACTAR publishers, and is available in selected bookstores worldwide, on amazon, and in Norway and Sweden at Adlibris.
