Algorithmic design, biomimetics, morphogenisis and cellular automata - these are concepts that will be well known to architects, landscape architects and designers in a few years.
Digital simulation tools, allows architects to investigate in concepts of nature that is at the same time organic, geometric and from micro to macro, somewhere between architecture and science.

CCAT Presentation and Workshop in Hammerfest

We had a good meeting and interesting input for further development of the different scenarios. Taking part in the dialogue was representatives from Hammerfest Fiskeribase AS, ProBarents AS and VERK. Hammerfest kommune was hosting the session together with us at VERTE landskap-arkitektur AS.
2 Hours on Fuglenes
The following photographs form part of a larger collection that were taken for the Cold Climate and Territory project for use in a book and a photographic exhibition in Hammerfest.
Three photographers, Andrew Budd, Franziska Heinrich, and Christophe Le Toquin were given two hours to work independently from each other photographing the Fuglenes site from their individual perspectives.
Two hours is not enough time to fully understand it but long enough to catch some feelings. These photographs are memories, images that remain and that you want to share to tell your journey.
The brief for the assignment was to visit the Fugleness site in Hammerfest and to record personal experiences and impressions of the area.
The site was visited on Wednesday March 6th 2013 at approximately 12pm, and the weather conditions were heavy snow and cloud which later changed to clear blue sky with sunshine.

 |
| Registration and lunch |
The first day of the symposium saw lectures and presentations from a variety of professionals which included Planners, Architects, Professors and Designers with the focus being cold climate, low energy solutions and modern design methods.
The day also included performances from pianist Bendik Båtstrand and violinist Lisa Tuomaala and concluded with a delightful evening meal of local cuisine.
Day two of the symposium began with a tour of Hammerfest which included a visit to local attractions and developments that had been designed and constructed with modern cold climate technologies.
The tour visited the Fuglenes area of Hammerfest which is the site for the CCAT project 2013 and was the focus for the workshop that took place in the afternoon.
The workshop proved to be a huge success in bringing together all the different parties and analysing the site in order to take the project forward. It was very interesting to hear the opinions of people from different professional backgrounds and to understand how they would approach such a site. The information that was collected and the discussions that were held will be invaluable to the CCAT 2013 project.
Verte landskap + arkitektur AS would like to thank everyone who attended the Cold Climate and Territory Symposium 2013 and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
