Bukta Presentation

The Cold Climate and Territory project was presented to the Alta Municipality on Friday 29th June 2012, with the hope that they will take interest.
Altaposten covered the event and published an article (shown above) on Friday 6th July 2012 where they reported that the project included "exciting ideas and plans".
Arnfinn Sarilla, who is a councilor for the Kommune said that " this is amazing and it gives future visions for Alta". Arnfinn went on to say that "I think this is a great plan they have presented".

For Bukta and Amtmannsnes we have developed two scenarios showing alternative development strategies for the area. The scenarios are intended as a basis for discussions and debates. They are not intended to represent the final conclusions for future development, but as input during the process. We hope that our ideas can inspire, surprise and challenge.

The first scenario assumes that the runway at Alta airport is extended by approximately 600 m. For the second scenario, we have explored the possibilities that are provided by rotating the runway to the northeast.

Scenario 1 Plan

Scenario 1 Birds-eye view seen from north Bukta

Scenario 1 Birds-eye view seen from west Bukta

Scenario 1 Harbor attraction - Visitor centre

Scenario 2 Plan

Scenario 2 Birds-eye view seen from north Bukta

Scenario 2 Birds-eye view seen from west Bukta

Scenario 2 Outdoor Hotel - Hunting, fishing, recreation

Bukta Dialogue

The representative wall
The idea was to get involved different generations of Bukta inhabitants to investigate their own perception of the area by drawing their own past and prospect visions in an abstract way.

The Trash Model

Bukta Dialogue also carried on another workshop entitled Trash Model . The attempt had been made to encourage people especially younger generation to build and paint their own perspective of the area with second-hand and trashed materials. For this reason, an imprint of the existing area was being employed.

Captivated children are having an enjoyable time by playing colors and making models.

Some members of the workshop are waiting to encourage and introduce visitors towards any latent activity concerned Bukta area.

Black Box

The idea of framing a black box emerged while the members of Bukta Dialogue laboratory came to an agreement to present a time-lapse and a documentary based on the area to the visitors of Miljøsirkus (OPEN HOUSE ECO CIRCUS).

The fabrication of the wooden box began based on an incomplex structure consisting front and back sides partially opened as an entrance and exit and two other sides which are functionally more structural. The joints of the structure are adjustable and it could be taken apart into smaller features.

The structure would be clothed inside by a black fabric to pretend the light getting inside. The video projector and the screen got settled inside the box after completion of the structure.
