1. How do you define the main issue of your project in relation with the theme “Living Cities Imagining architecture taking care of the milieus”? And in which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution?
The project Grensen 2030 is aiming to achieve Zero Net goals by 2030: built from the carbon storing materials, with the limited carbon operational emissions, with a little to no waste. Grensen 2030 sets up an agenda for collaboration around the Zero Net future between student campus and neighboring communities, creating circular initiatives and reuse marketplace: trading furniture/objects for renovation, or donating as a material to the workshops and testing labs.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The Grensen area captivates with its authentic charm and human-scale ambiance, featuring passages, backyard structures, wooden staircases, and canopies. The design envisions family clusters seamlessly integrated into a network of passages, streets, and squares, fostering adaptability and inclusivity. This urban scheme accommodates organic growth within old and new structures, blending technological workshops, public facilities, student residences, and cultural spaces. Aligned with rising social responsibility for the circular economy, this proposal transforms Grensen into an interactive, inclusive space and a pioneering testing ground for NTNU campus, propelling Trondheim towards a forward-thinking, carbon-neutral future.
