…just emptying out the drafts pile. I just realized I still had so much stuff from over a year ago (wow!).
I still think about my thesis sometimes, and just reflect on it. I actually have a lot more research saved in my computer (related projects, inspiration, etc.) that I intended on posting here, but after I completed my thesis, I never really bothered… maybe I ought to blow the dust off and see what’s still worth sharing…
“The last floor is the alabaster hall, like superimposed onto the stone building of the first two floors. with its magic light it is not a conventional exhibition area […] the alabaster hall is also a kind of lantern in the cityscape of oslo and the symbol of the new museum. The skin of the hall is a double facade with thin slabs of alabaster mounted on glass. with an integrated system of blades it is possible to have complete daylight control.”
