We love investigating our projects through narratives and have a special soft spot for cartoons.

 

 

We believe every client is different; every place is in some way peculiar and unique. We aim to embrace this fact and let it affect our architecture.

Through the years we have investigated narrative architecture through a variation of methods, from participation processes to social mapping. However the tool we love the most is addressing different perspectives through cartoons and visual storytelling.

The following images is a selection of our cartoons, including the animated movie “Bottled Message” (Oslo Triennale 2007), the cartoon “Finding Neverland” (exhibited in the National Museum of Architecture in Oslo) and “The Black Glacier”.
