CAPTURE THE LIGHT

Light is of decisive importance in experiencing architecture. The same room can be made to give very different spatial impressions by the simple expedient of changing the size and
location of its openings.
- RASMUSSEN, S. E. (1962).........
The openings in the walls allows light in and creates shadows pattern reflection to the exterior walls. The pattern is cast off in the buildings interior walls and floors. This creates a different spatial experience as the sun moves around the building during the day from sunrise to sunset.

The tradition of cross -crountry skiing began thousands of years ago in northern Scandinavia where skies were used as transportation across the winter landscape. Due to exten-sive winter months with snow and interest for skiing for both tourists and natives, the Norwegians have built an extensive netwrk of trails and systmes of huts throughout the country. The country has responded to this wealth of mountains by protecting scenic and ecogologically signifi-cant areas in 18 national parks. Skiers can find themselves skiing up to 15-20 miles a day. Some of the huts are catered and some selfcatered. Self catered works more as a tempo-ray shelter to protect from weather. They are traditionally called ‘rastehytter’ or ‘fjellbuer’. The rule is if it is open your welcome to use it as a shelter, but you arents suppose to stay more then one night. And the norm is to leave the hut as it was. In most of these huts the sleeping conditions are very basic with limited spac and wooden interior benches to sleep on . There are simple a simple heating system and wood available. Objective/ A modern shelter inspired by the traditional ‘fjellbu’. Intended to be inhabited temporar-ily during winter months in snow-covered plateau scenery.
“Can you imagine anything freer and more exctiing than when you, swiftly as a bird, zoom down the wood-clad hillsides country air and spruce twigs whiz by your cheeks and eyes; brain and muscle tense,ready to avoid any unknown obstacle which any moment might be thrown in your path? You are one with your skies and nature. This is something that develops not only the body but the soal as well, and it has a deeper meaning for a people than most of us perceive.” - Fridtjof Nansen, 1890
