Honorable mention!

In 2024, Nordic architecture cannot not only be understood as a style signifying simplicity, localness and sophisticated materiality. Instead, we propose the coming era to be defined by inclusiveness and crisis awareness. In the NEO age, climate crises, conflicts and global migrant flows have changed the geographic, demographic and cultural composition of our living environment. As democratic and cultural instutions are being dismantled in nations across the world, we need to step forward and protect what is worth protecting: Arts and Culture.
Our design of a temporary exhibition space for CHART reflects a the state of the world we are in, and responds to its disaster conditions. For CHART 2024, we propose a structure composed of four basic elements that are readily available most places in the worl: Earth, textile and scaffolding. Sandbags, commonly used to protect our civilization from destruction, flooding or assault, are the main element, taking the shape of two spiraling walls that together form a sheltered space.
