ClientTromsø Kommune

A rippling parametric installation in the frozen arctic of Norway, ‘Community Landscape’ redefines the concept of a grandstand into a monumental, functional work of art. The 30-meter-long structure winds between the trees of the Grønnåsen School in Tromsø to enhance the fabric of the school while also becoming a social gathering point for the local community after hours. Able to accommodate up to 70 people at a time the "Community Landscape’ creates various seating and activity spaces including secluded niches for rest, and more open landscapes for larger gatherings.
