NTNU Live studio by trygve ohren

NTNU has a long tradition of students undertaking Live Projects. Many schools of architecture do. What sets our projects apart is that a big number are initiated, organised and managed by the students themselves. These initiatives are made possible with support from the university, and a focus on live aspects through the education. Already the first semester, architecture students at NTNU have to design and built a 1:1 timber construction. NTNU’s Live Projects have varied from small traditionally crafted Norwegian boathouses, to larger scale community development based projects in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Students employ a context-based design approach whereby they have to work closely with local municipalities, professionals, grassroots organisations and other stakeholders. It’s this collaborative focus that truly allows the projects to take flight. In recent years, students have shown a soaring interest in Live Projects, be they independent, part of self-initiated curricular course or a curricular course that focuses on building. This confronts NTNU with the challenge of responding to their enthusiasm in a way that acknowledges their contribution, but also generates academic returns. The institution must be able to be responsible for the students’ learning, well-being and the quality of the projects, yet at the same time, give them independence and entrust them with full social and professional responsibility. NTNU Live Studio is a platform from which students find support and encouragement for Live Projects, from which they discover or learn, on their own terms, what architecture is, or does, and what becoming an architect is about.

PSTEREO (2019)

CALL FOR NATURE: LABYRINTEN

The project is made by students in architecture and music technology at NTNU through a cooperation between NTNU Live Studio and Pstereo. The structure was made on Nyhavna by the students during the summer and moved to Marinen in time for the festival.
The construction consists of recycled materials and is even planned to have a continued use after the festival. The project is made of elements which can be dismantled and put together in other and new configurations. The main materials used are oriented strand boards, PCB, old safety nets from scaffolding and reused planks. The labyrinth is designed by the architect students, while the sound installation is made by the students from music technology. Together, this creates a unique meeting place outside the festival, where nature, people and technology can meet!

CALL FOR NATURE: ØLDORADO

The project is made by students in architecture and music technology at NTNU through a cooperation between NTNU Live Studio and Pstereo. The scaffolding structure was erected with help from Ramirent during the last days before the festival. The inventory was pre-made on Nyhavna during the summer. The project consists of scaffolding, security nets and pallets. The structure divides and define new areas within the festival and makes it possible to experience the festival in a new way from another perspective. In addition to this the students from music technology made phone boots where you could talk to people at other places around the festival.
