PULS_medusa

The PULS_medusa project focuses on the strengthening of local movement, environment and identity, as well as on the connection to existing living areas. The qualities of outdoor, public space, common space, and private indoor space, are the important matters for the project, along with the importance of mixed programmes (commerce and common functions mixed with housing/private, common and public space). The “Puls_medusa” structure got its form from vacant public space and movement. The structure’s characteristic long bands buckle and bend in a snake-like movement, stretching from the south end to the north end of the site, defining continuous, asymmetric spaces in-between the structure’s arms. PULS_medusa is simply about how ‘individual needs’ and ‘public needs’ enter into dialogue to make good conditions for themselves, each other and the existing situation in Åsane.
