Beskrivelse
The unity barn is a building typology in Norway, which was introduced around 1850.This red production building is still a symbol of the countryside,but its characteristicslies first and foremost in a skeletal construction systemthat radically differsfrom the previous log-based houses.Today there are approximately 100.000 empty unity barns in Norway due to changes in the agricultural production.This projectaims at understanding and exploring theunity barn through an architectural proposal.How toretain and interpret spatialand historical qualitieswhile meeting the demands of an insulatedand light modern buildinghas been a key questionthrough the project.By using Nedre Bleiker gård in Asker as a point of departure, this project suggestscompact housing in relation to different common rooms. As a prerequisite for the design the main construction has been kept unaltered.
