For a new ecology of living
Ada Bursi’s legacy is transformed into an exam project of the two-year Interior Design specialist program at IED Turin, unfolding a narrative on contemporary living, between ecology, spatial flexibility, and social awareness.
The Vulkan Bigård project at Mathallen in Oslo is a partnership between Aspelin Ramm, Scandic, Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, ByBj Birøkterlag, Heier Du Rietz, and Snøhetta.
The natural honeycomb geometry was the inspiration for the form and pattern. Having two intersecting hexagonal volumes to create the form, which were then adjusted in height and width to fit with the need of the beekeeper. Using a light colored wood with a finish that is honey in tone was also a relationship that Snøhetta wanted to create and present.
