Threads of Innovation in collaboration with KOMPAN organized an Experimental Design and Building workshop with international student/teacher team from NTNU, Norway and CEPT, India.
The architecture of the NEST frames a space of encounters and creative exchange. It is a hybrid space where work and play shift constantly.
NEST sets a stage for various unexpected scenarios and social activities to unfold, from playful work/study assemblies, or having lunch together in the sun to serene book reading, while nesting in.
Nest honours KOMPAN’s and AD NTNU shared values: to create healthier, happier and more inclusive communities.
- Construction period: 6 - 17 JUNE 2022
- Site: Gløshaugen campus, NTNU
NEST is a part of a broader University strategy to activate outdoor campus areas with architecture/art installations and lab activities.
The FORMlab extends to the outside.
The project is part of THREADS OF INNOVATION, international interdisciplinary academic project, winner of UTFORSK 2020 by Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, that is embedded in the master course Experimental Practice EXP teaching curriculum & TRANSark research platform.
