Text by OAT below (with minor edits):
As part of the fall program of Oslo Architecture Triennale 2021, a group of knowledge institutions will work with the same theme and scale: the neighborhood.
The Triennale will operate as a host for a forum in which the institutions can share findings, methods, and experiences with researching neighborhoods – and develop interventions that will contribute to social and environmentally sustainable development of neighborhoods.
As a starting point, the Triennale invites the institutions and their students for a meeting Wednesday 25 August, from 12:30-15:30, and a final presentation meeting for the public on 14 December 2021. At the final presentation on 14 December, the students will present their research in a common format, and they will have the opportunity to explain and elaborate their insights and concepts to relevant actors as well as a broader audience.
The research will contribute to the knowledge base of the Triennale, and selected student projects presented may be relevant for the neighborhood exhibition the Triennale will arrange in the fall 2022.The aim of this forum is also to increase the sharing of knowledge between the students, the academics and the institutions in addition to a broader audience with an interest in architectural and urban questions.
In a time when the world is facing major social and environmental challenges, Oslo Architecture Triennale 2022 spotlights neighborhood as a place and horizon for rethinking our cities. With the working title Mission Neighbourhood – (Re)forming communities, the Triennale will explore how we form the places we share.
