Abstract
Scuba diving has seen spectacular growth in its popularity over the past decade. In that respect, I have designed a sketch proposal for a new diving centre in the region of Hvaler, Norway. The project has the intention to produce a specific atmosphere, a setting able to raise the value of each diver’s experience. Use of dramatic shapes and structures, creates an explicit connection between building and context; steel, concrete and wood are materials all used to accentuate the mightiness of the surrounding nature. Situated in the rocky landscape, the centre reveals itself to the visitors progressively as they approach; a picturesque quality which makes this composition intriguing and adventurous from first glance.
Dykking har haft en rivende utvikling i sin popularitet de seneste år. I dets henseende har jeg designet et skitseproject for et nytt dykkercenter i region Hvaler i Norge. Projectet har som intensjon a skape en helt speciell atmosphere, som kan være med til å øke opplevelsen omkring sporten dykking. Bruken av dramatiske former og strukturer, skaper en god sammenheng mellom bygning og kontekst; stål, beton og træ er alle materialer som er brugt til å fremheve stroslåetheten av det omkringliggende landskab. Dens placering i det kuperte landskab sørger for at centeret avslører sin egen komposition gradvis ved ankomst; en picturesk kvalitet som gjør denne komposition både spennede og eventyrlig far første stund.
