Hot from winning the open international prize organised by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, Jagnefaltmilton follow up with their masterplan for the moving city of Åndalsnes, in Norway.
"... where existing and new rail roads would provide the base for new building that could be rolled back and forth depending on seasons and situations. Amongst other they propose a rolling hotel, a rolling public bath and a rolling concert hall.....and did not propose new city blocks,
public squares, boardwalks etcetera, but instead focused entirely on the existing rail road network and created something unexpected from it"
This is obviously pure concept at the moment but there are big themes at play here; ideas of re-interpretation of infrastructure, comment on the pace of life, questioning how we travel whilst also looking at the mental health and social implications of cities.
All this, and more, and the company is barely a year old!
