Rintala Eggertsson, Oslo Architecture Triennale 2013 "Behind the Green Door"

Dagur Eggertsson, from Rintala Eggertsson Architects, Oslo describes one of the 600 exhibits in the main exhibition of the Oslo Architecture Triennale 2013 "Behind the Green Door" curated by Rotor.

Exhibit described:

Model (1:50) of a temporary wooden shelter realised in front of the MAXXI museum, designed by Zaha Hadid. The architect's website reads "... our homes in Western culture are built both too big and too expensively. [...] it is possible to build a contemporary home with totally ecological simple materials such as wood and stone and earth, and to achieve higher quality of living with less square meters. Herein should lay the main focus in architecture theory and practice today [...]. Architecture is the theatre of our primeval social and private behaviour, fulfilment of our biological true needs, whether we realise, accept and implement this fact or not."
