Earlier this year, AN briefly covered what would be going on at this years Oslo Architecture Triennale in Norway. Titled After Belonging, the design festival has now unveiled the participants of the programs that will going on throughout the event. The full calendar can be found here.
The Trienniale divides the theme of After Belonging into two parts: the first, On Residence, will “collectively analyze the spatial conditions that shape our ways of staying in transit and the definition of our contemporary spaces of residence.”
Meanwhile, In Residence, will see “international architects and professionals concerned with the built environment… engage in local collaborations in Oslo, the Nordic region, and around the globe, to intervene in the transformation of residence.”
As well as contributing to the On/In Residence exhibitions, the participants listed will also contribute to the Extended Program; The Academy; The Embassy and the After Belonging Conference.
Extended Program
The Extended Program comprises six projects selected through an “Open Call for Associated Projects” last year. These projects include: ADAPT – Accessible, Affordable, Integrated Housing Strategies in Oslo, Bytopian Breakfast, Counter Borders, Global Spaces of Chinese Labor, Marble of The Opera, and Who lives there.
The Academy
The Academy is a forum organized by the Oslo School of Architecture and Design AHO which aims to coalesce a selection of schools from across the globe. Here, the schools will engage in discourse relating to the triennale’s themes while also reflecting on “new forms of residence, contemporary states of transit, and the ways in which architecture and design are responding to new forms of belonging and belongings.”
Lectures, workshops, and roundtables will also be set to feature in the program which is due to operate in three phases—”an analytical phase, a critical phase, and a production phase”—all of which will take place over eight days. The aim of The Academy is to produce a a “collective project” being either an “ephemeral structure, a performance, a publication, an action, an exhibition, or a combination of many of those things.”
The Embassy
Conceived and designed by Dutch firm, Studio Jonas Staal, The New World Embassy: Rojava is a stateless embassy that represents, through cultural means, the ideals of “stateless democracy” developed by Kurdish communities of the autonomous region of Rojava, northern-Syria.
The New World Embassy: Rojava is a stateless embassy that culturally symbolizes, a “stateless democracy” and its ideals, developed by Kurdish communities of the autonomous region of Rojava in northern-Syria. A temporary installation, the project rethinks “non-state models of political representation through art” while engaging visitors in the “unique cultural and political ideals being developed in this war-torn region.”
After Belonging Conference
The conference will address the primary points if discussion raised at the triennale. “What is architecture’s role in the contemporary reconfiguration of belonging? How has this process transformed the notion of residence? What are the spatial, technical, and sociopolitical consequences of this transformation?”
