Phase 2.2 Review and New Beginning of Storotorget

Transform

ing a heating and

lighting element fro

to horizontal [a Column till

a Floor], was our beggining.

Comic: Grafic way of expressio

n in which,

what it m

atters a

re the stories and the charac-

ters that take part o

f it. Th

is is tr

anslated into our

project as one the most suitable ways of te

lling it.

Contrast: The first

impression of

our

square. Looking for attr

acting the citi

zens, we pro-

vide an image

of Stortoget as a square of con-

trast

between the existing calm and natu

re, and our

technologic device

s and

urba

n ac

tivity

.

Cooking:

This activity is

more than ju

st the ac-

tion. We fo

cus our p

roject because of it

. We sta

r-

ted with cooking because is

one of the activity th

at

can “inte

grat

e” and be “do it

your-

self” fittin

g the best i

n our idea fo

r the sq

uare.

Democratic:

The main principle of our

square, every citiz

en has their own voi-

ce and has the right to ex

press

itself

on it and so

, to do and liv

e in our s

quare

but always

respecting

each other.

Disappear:

As the Sun is one

of most wish

ed goods in Norway, an in-

tervention that would be able to fold

in somehow and dissapear

has been

always in our minds. And so, ‘disap

-

pearing’ has become a desig

n strategy.

Ham

ar:

The city where we work, the very first rea-

son that gives sense to everything that

we are doing. Its

extreme conditions and its

physical location gives us tips

and suggestions for the chance to develo

p our project..

Inte

grat

ion: Other of the prin

ciples of Stortorget,

as a square for the futu-

re of Hamar. Norway was a country

of disconnected little towns,

most of the gover-

ning ways at this

places are done by and for people that have always been living the-

re. As far as now it

has become one of the most successfu

l and rich countrie

s of

Europe, therefore lots o

f immigrants m

ove there to find a job, stay for li

ving and form a famaily.

Mechanism:

The mate

rialization

of our

project on

itself.

Answe-

ring to a lot

of activity demands.

Mechanism is

linked to multiuse,

hyper equip-

ment, tra

nsform

ers devices,

energy supply and virtual

connection and context specificity.

Pérez Piñero:

The structures

of Pérez Piñero, that

once we research to de-

velop our

project, brought

us concepts

us expand,

foldable and unfoldable, fle-

xibility,

appropriation of

the space, eventual,

transfo

rmable … A bunch of

spa-

tial definitions rela

ted with them now fit with

our spatial conception of the square

Elephan

t: Synthetic pachyderm

of Nan-

tes. The scale of its

movements, Its

inte

-

grat

ion in a management network, the

adaptation of it

in a particular

context are

some of the references that define our project.

Folk Highs

chool: Educational In

stitutions, ty

pical

from Norway, w

here young Norwegians go to learn from the

life. Th

e cultural programme that is

taught in here,

provides

from sewing or cooking activitie

s till fi

shing and social skills

.

Individual

By the method of “Do it your-

self ”, we plan that everyone is

free to modify the squa-

re. Everyone is

allowed to provide anything, since their

knowledge, by teaching, till

a potatoes omelette, by cooking..

Seou

l: Our urban experience.

This huge metro

polis is,

in many

aspects, more advanced than us

and, in many others, more tra

-

ditional.

A city in which,

technology and culture live together.

Sy

nth

etic

R

ea

lity

: The con-

cept of the square is defined by a cultural and social program-

me typical from an urban context.Th

is is one of the things, that

nowadays Hamar does not have. By the mechanisms, we provi-

de a synthetic reality that supplies this

demanded urban image

Wind: One of the extreme conditions that

suffers Storto

rget. Taken as a

n advantage, we have

used it as th

e power of th

e mechanism, and as con-

trast e

lement that enrich

es our im

age. As w

ell as a

remarkable element in th

e ‘Beach Beasts’

of Theo

Jansen, another of o

ur references, u

sed as energy.

Stortoget

: The plot, the project.

Its human scale,

the views and perspective between the Ba-

zaarr building and the church

, the slope and the views to the Mjosa lake,

all imputs for the project.

Tube

: Freedom of change, u

sing this si

mple element. Freedom of use, a

llowing the con-

nection and disconnection of them. Freedom of activity because of th

e non-position defined. ..

Websit

e:

Contemporary tool

that makes

everything

closer

and democratic. It

is esse

ntial for

our project,

as stra

te-

gy to reach the citizens,

because we need to provide freedom of time

and association to attra

ct and enhance the citizen to form

part of it.
