  This article discusses a performance-oriented approach to architectural and urban design that seeks to intensify the interaction between architectures and their specific settings and environments. The overarching aim is to expand performance-oriented design in architecture to urban design and to integrate architectural, urban design and landscape design into a multi- scalar and multi-domain approach. This effort is currently comprised of three distinct research by design efforts: [i] designs for urban areas with a focus on demographic and environmental aspects, [ii] designs for peripheral areas with a focus on preserving or restoring vital local bio-physical conditions and interrelations, and [iii] designs for rural areas that elaborate an integrative approach towards constructions and correlating land uses. In order to facilitate this approach, computational information-based design is linked with systems-thinking. The portrayed research was undertaken at the Research Centre for Architecture and Tectonics and the Advanced Computational Design Laboratory at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design over a period of five years from 2014 to 2018.

  OSSTS: Oslo Sound Space Transport System An OCEAN project Concept, sound, composition and audio programming and sensor design: Natasha Barrett Project management: Natasha Barrett, Birger Sevaldson Installation concept: OCEAN, Natasha Barret, Michael Hensel, Birger Sevaldson Projections: OCEAN, Joakim Hoen Room design: OCEAN, Søren Skjensvold Sørensen Design collaborators: Silje Maloney Barth, Marianne Røthe Arnesen, Alexandre Chappel, Lawrence Ssekitoleko The project is sponsored by Kulturrådet NOTAM Galleri AHO The Oslo Sound Space Transport System (OSSTS) is an interactive sound-space installation that allows you to journey through Oslo's real acoustic architecture and explore surreal and fictional Oslo-inspired sound-spaces. An interactive interface provides complete freedom to travel where you wish, as well as in real-time hear your own voice as if you were in these real spaces. OSSTS uses 3D acoustic room models, a 3D loudspeaker projection system, binaural headphone rendering, video projection and a continuum from sound-reality to sound-fiction. The concept and sound composition of OSSTS was created by composer Natasha Barrett and the physical installation space was created by designer Birger Sevaldson and the OCEAN Design Research Association. The installation is produced by the OCEAN design research association. Natasha Barrett (UK / NO) is one of the worlds leading electronic music composers. Her works span the diversity of interactive installations to live-electronics, concert composition, sound-art and a fascination with sound and space. After many years of international prizes and recognitions, in 2006 she received the Nordic Council Music Prize. OSSTS is her third project in collaboration with Birger Sevaldson and the OCEAN Design Research Association resulting in five installations. Birger Sevaldson is a designer and professor at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design working in a wide range of design research. He has been in a long term collaboration with Natasha Barrett on the context of OCEAN. The projects main funding was by the Cultural Council of Norway through an application by OCEAN. The first half was the financing of a one year long composition and sound creation project. The second half was funding for the construction of the installation space, interface and sound system.
