Beskrivelse
The lantern is a structure that covers the outdoor areas in Long Street, Sandnes, Norway. The starting point for the project was to have a overdekning that could be used in many different contexts, from concerts and square trade to an informal meeting place in town. Lantern was a Norwegian Wood project, in conjunction with the cultural year in Stavanger / Sandnes 2008, and it was therefore a premise to build environmentally friendly and use of wood in all parts of the construction.

Intentions
In the lantern, we have interpreted husformen, which already exists in the old wooden house environment in Long Street. A transparent roof made of wood and glass being held up by 4 søyleknipper. To give the ceiling a light and abstract expression, has all the elements in the ceiling exactly the same dimensions, so that they appear without the primary and secondary carrying. The columns branching into the ceiling to distribute the load in takflaten and down the ground for stabilizing forces. The columns are moved under construction, so they are protected. This is also done to erase the distinction between covered and not covered outdoor areas. Nothing like standing on the ground marks when you're covered. We did not want the roof of the structure should define the space, but space the floor itself. The columns are positioned so that the informal rooms arise, and facilitate informal ways to experience the project. The project is lit so that it appears as a lantern in the evening.
