The Building for the Oslo National Academy of the ArtsI made a quick sketch of the building that is being constructed for our school. The school is to move there in mid-year 2010. I am trying to understand the complexity of this project. I am really worried that we will not manage to use the building to its potential. There has been lots of turf battles, territorializations and at the same time factions not even prepared to move into the complex. I, being an outsider and unaware of the history have not taken part in this war and just wonder if design can exist and develop in the complex. So far there have been problems in synergy between these factions and access to the various workshops.
