PALLIATIVE DESIGN FOR THE AFTERLIFE OF MINE#7
With the forthcoming closure of the last Norwegian coal mine in Longyearbyen, coinciding with climate change and increased glacial melt, Svalbard’s relationship to
its cryogenic landscape is increasingly uncertain.
To ease this relationship from one state to another, this project proposes a palliative design strategy for the decommissioning of Mine #7.

LEARNING FROM MANOOMIN
This thesis spatilizes three initiatives restoring Manoomin
(wild rice) in the Great Lakes Basin with drawings, reflections, and conversation. These document the evolution of the land through the “restorying” of relationships, following principles such as Vanessa Watt’s “Place-Thought” and
Willie Ermine’s “Ethical Space”.

MOBILITY AS STRATEGY
Speculative in its approach, this projects core intent is to assert the importance of landscape architectural methods within the Norwegian landscape assessment process as they may ensure elements such as Sámi land rights, additional
time-frames, scales, and more-than-human beings are meaningfully considered.
Collaboration with Aniella Sophie Goldinger

QUESTIONING PERMANENCE
Given the significance of permafrosts scale and distribution across the Arctic, landscape architects working in these areas will address frozen ground at some time or another. With rising temperatures rapidly increasing the visible fluidity of “permanently frozen ground” across the Arctic, a deeper reading of these conditions and their temporal-material-spatial impacts is needed.

RELATING TO SOIL
Inspired by the soil cultivation techniques used for centuries by fisher-farmers in the North of Norway, this project proposes a matrix strategy for the remediation of soil across Bodø’s Hernes Peninsula.
This was developped through fieldwork methodology and material studies which cultivated my own relationship to Arctic soil.

FIELDWORK - LONGYEARBYEN
From March 6th to March 20th, 2023 I stayed in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Here I collected images, reflections, conversations, 3D scans, and sketches to support the design of a decommissioning plan for Mine #7.
