Traena, Norway, Summer 2022 A term
JUNE 14 – JULY 16

Working with the community of Traena, we will develop ideas to design and build a collection of elements including gathering space/outdoor classroom, outdoor kitchen, furniture, seating and other enhancements for a community garden/gathering space associated with the local elementary school and that will be a venue for the music festival and other community events. Using an exploratory building method, we will implement part or all of the design. One focus will be an exploration of how place is defined by culture and how this design can both respect local history and explore the future of Traena’s unique heritage, traditions and sustainability. Professor Luka Jelusic from Stenby School of craft will be co-directing the program. Students will explore and sketch the rural environs of this unique island, learn its fascinating history, and participate in-several field trips including Oslo and Trondheim.
