  This book presents a series of pedagogical experiments translating climate science, environmental humanities, material research, ecological practices into the architectural curriculum. Balancing the science and humanities, it exposes recent pedagogical experiments from renown educators, while also interrogating a designer’s agency between science and speculation in the face of climate uncertainty. The teaching experiments are presented across four sections: Abstraction, Organization, Building, and Narrative, exposing core parts of an architect’s education and how educators can simultaneously provide fundamental skills and constructive literacy while instigating environmental sensibilities. Chapters cover issues such as an unstable hydrosphere, water infrastructure, remediating materials, methods of disassembly and adaptive reuse, as well as constructing new aesthetic categories of climate change, and implementing oral histories of construction, among many others. Written and edited by expert design educators actively engaged in experimenting in new forms of pedagogy, this book will be of great use to architecture instructors at all levels looking to renew their teaching practices to more directly address the climate emergency. It will also appeal to those academics across the built environment interested in the ways design can affect and adapt to climate change.

  How can the unsettling climates of our times be understood? How can art,architecture, and design that engages with the complexities of our current age be analysed and criticised? Etymologically, the Norwegian word uro carries a double meaning: it can denote both ‘disquiet and unease’ as well as ‘riot and disturbance’. The word stems from the Old Norse úró and is used to describe political turmoil, social disorder, and a psychological state of restless anxiety. Thus the title of this anthology, Ung Uro (literally ‘young unrest’), intimates the paradoxical tension between describing our new geological condition – the Anthropocene – and referring to the reactions this condition provokes. In Ung Uro. Unsettling Climates in Nordic Art, Architecture and Design, thirteen young writers, critics, and art historians examine how Nordic visual art, architecture, and design relate to this new state of unease. Their topics span from early 20th century landscape painting to contemporary bio-acoustics, from Snøhetta’s energy-positive architecture to the Sami chant yoik, and from IKEA showrooms to fungi and bees as co-creators of artistic work. The empirical material consists mainly of specific exhibitions, artistic projects, and related events that took place for the most part in Norway from 2018 to 2020, and therefore the book is also a record of critical issues at stake in Nordic contemporary art and culture in the late 2010s. All those with an interest in contemporary art, design, and visual studies, including students, will find this book valuable.

  In 1910 a Norwegian chemist gazed through a microscope to study a white surface. There was something different with this white, the chemist observed. The never-before-seen titanium pigment was made from the chemist’s own patented innovation, the inorganic chemical substance titanium dioxide. The chemist was probably unaware of the far-reaching global implications the titanium pigment would come to have on his environment in the forthcoming century; the chemical substance would radically change objects and environments in architecture and design by making surfaces whiter, smoother, brighter, and more opaque. In her influential book Vibrant Matter (2010), Jane Bennet points out that Western societies seem to lack the ability to read material surroundings. In our progressively digital realities, material surfaces will become more unnoticeable, less sensorial, and increasingly insignificant. This talk tells the story of how the surface in architecture and design came to be thought of as immaterial. The talk traces the history of the Norwegian chemist Dr. Peder Farup (1875 – 1934) and his two innovations titanium white and titanium dioxide in order to show how modernism’s aesthetic and ideological ideals of permanence, progress, and homogenization were materially and visually inscribed into and onto objects and environments—making the surface inconspicuous and difficult for us to read. Prompted by the urgency to discuss surfaces in relation to design and sustainability, and in order to change ethical attitudes towards use and reuse of materials, this talk proposes that design discourse can forge bonds with environmental history, aesthetic philosophy, and artistic research to unearth unseen material practices. Illuminated by archival research, aesthetic theory, and art and crafts practices, the surface can become visible, present, and readable.

  Kan væren ha en form? Hva er forholdet mellom økologi og kybernetikk? Og hvilke ontologiske implikasjoner iverksettes av Sacco-sekken? Denne avhandlingen undersøker kybernetikk, økologi og ontologi i postmoderne design og arkitektur gjennom en undersøkelse av to banebrytende begivenheter på The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) i New York City i 1972 kuratert av arkitekt Emilio Ambasz: Det interdisiplinære symposiet “The Universitas Project: Institutions for a Post-Technological Society” og utstillingen Italy: The New Domestic Landscape, to manifestasjoner av postmodernismens tidlige stadier. Avhandlingen foreslår at postmoderne arkitektur og design – for eksempel åpne, fleksible hjem for en dynamisk livsstil og oppblåsbare plastikkstoler – ikke bare kan forståes som en ny stilretning, en ny estetikk eller som uttrykk for nye oppfatninger av sosiopolitiske ideologier. Disse formene kan forstås som nye værensformer. Den første delen av avhandlingen diskuterer hvordan de nye værensformene utstilt på MoMA i 1972 materialiserer en ny form for ontologi; en økologisk form for kybernetikk som kan defineres som dypkybernetikk. Gjennom nye lesninger av luft-arkitektur, plastikk og begrepet “display” foreslår jeg at disse tre konseptene på en bemerkelsesverdig måte konkretiserer den dypkybernetiske ontologien. Ved å undersøke dypkybernetikk med utgangspunkt i Italy: The New Domestic Landscape og “The Universitas Project” viser avhandlingen hvordan tilsynelatende ulike ideologiske, politiske og kritiske posisjoner kan forstås som en felles posisjon: en total usikkerhet angående menneskers ontologiske status. Den andre delen av avhandlingen argumenterer for at materialiseringene av dypkybernetikk viser en farlig måte å forstå verden på. Fleksible, modulbaserte designløsninger og oppblåsbare plasikkstoler iverksetter en konseptuell virkelighetsmodell karakterisert av kontinuitet som i dagens klima av global kapitalisme og global oppvarming ikke lengre kan opprettholdes. Avhandlingen argumenterer for at verden må forstås uten kontinuitet, og at begreper som brudd, motstand og “errors” er avgjørende for å bryte ut av en farlig konseptuell virkelighetsmodell – en fare som er materialisert i Sacco-sekken.
