Do you want to shape AHO 80 year anniversary this fall?

The Oslo school of Architecture and design turns 80 this year, and we want to use this occasion to highlight the important role of architects, landscape architects and designers in society – both today and in a historical perspective.

About the anniversary commemoration

With a gesture to the time when the school was founded, rebuilding Norway after the war, we want to highlight how the institution keeps responding to the challenges and crises we face. The anniversary will be marked through different formats at different times during the coming fall.

Important dates

  • Info meeting: Monday 5 May
  • Application deadline: Monday 12 May
  • First meeting: Friday 16 May

How you can contribute

Now we are calling for students to engage in the anniversary, by joining either the curator group if you are a masters student, or the resource group for all students.

The Curator Group: For students on master level

As a part of the curator group you will gain experience with curating, project work and interdisciplinary collaboration. The curator group will have one student from each institute, and they will recieve inputs and work together with teachers and staff. More about this group further down.

Greetings from the Anniversary Project Manager

I think this anniversary will be so much more creative and interesting by growing out from a solid student engagement. Therefore I hope as many as possible will take this opportunity to join me in this. I started working at AHO in March in this position including a few other tasks. I have a masters in Architecture from Aarhus, and I came to AHO after having been working for Oslo Architecture Triennale.  
 
Warm regards,
Ilse Svortevik Hviding
