1 THROUGH THE FOREST OF COLUMNS UNFOLDING URBAN BLINDSPOTS Spring semester 2013 DIPLOMA PROJECT & EXHIBITION Location: Bergen, Norway Teachers: Espen Folgerø og Vibeke Jensen
2 BLINDSPOTS CREATED BY INFRASTRUCTURE The theme of this project is blindspots created by infrastructure. There are places in Bergen where vital infrastructural objects like bridges and tunnels generate leftover spaces by cutting through and effectively creating a division in the urban fabric. These blindspots function as psychological and physical barriers and create spatial conflict between the infrastructure and inhabitants. The project focuses on redefining and altering uncanny territory surrounding the imposing structure of a bridge named Puddefjord-bridge, positioned southwestren of the city centre of Bergen. The bridge serves its purpose well as part of the Bergen transportation infrastructure, and in fact plays a vital role in connecting the south- western and north-eastern parts of Bergen. It stretches across a strait called Damsga rdssundet, 30m above the water surface, connecting the old industrial neighborhood Møhlenpris on the city centre side to Gyldenpris and Lakseva g on the other. The structure dwarfs its immediate urban surroundings and creates blindspots near and under its own structure, separating the areas west and east of the bridge on both banks as well as disconnecting human inhabitants from the waterfront.

5 NEW INTERCONNECTION The aim of the architectural response is to intersect the existing bridge structure with a web of pedestrian paths to facilitate interconnections between neighborhoods; and to introduce new rhythms to the urban fabric while maintaining a symbiotic relationship between the bridge structure and the architectural response. Instead of participating in the process of further speeding up the experience of the world, the project s intent is to slow down experience, halt time and to defend the natural slowness and diversity of experience. The new bicycle and pedestrian paths slither through the forest of columns under the massive Puddefjord-bridge, separating pedestrians from the noisy traffic on top of the bridge, which provides shelter from rain, snow and pollution with its decking. The paths limbs stretch into the neighborhoods in an inviting gesture, drawing people into this unknown and hidden territory of infrastructural blindspots, revealing and shedding light on a sequence of hidden treasures along the way with the aim of creating multi-sensory experiences for those that move along them. 21
6 The new construction is merged into the rough concrete structure of the existing bridge like an endosymbiont an organism living with another organism connecting the human scale to the infrastructural scale. The steel spine of the construction connects to the existing columns and thin steel ribs stick out of the spine forming support for the floor of the path while also bending up to support a handrail and in some places walls of shelter. The floor is composed of wooden planks that extend upwards along the edges to form a handrail, providing people with a soft and warm feeling of touch when holding it. In some places along the path the materials used in the handrail and floor differ, as a sign of warning and to get people to slow down, hear and feel the different spatial qualities the construction provides and the area has to offer. The paths also lead to areas that are currently unaccessible, especially close to the water. This revitalizes them as a part of the cultural landscape leading to new kind of activities taking place there. MØHLENPRIS
