Mapping, in one drawing
Oasen, Fyllingsdalen. With Vilda Brekke Sundström

The Oasen shopping centre in Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, is ringed by parking, and a few metres away stands a block thirteen storeys high. That whole situation, the centre, the tower and everything between them, is mapped in one drawing: how it is used, where people sit, how it was planned. Worked in shading and detail, the drawing holds a great deal of information, and with it the chaos and oddness of the scale.
