Inhale the Landscape via Space and Time

I should say being inspired by a serial of paintings is a romantic start. I found Kitty 's works, who is a notable norwegian landscape painter in the 19th century. Comparing the scenes from her paintings with the present landscape from aerophotos is a nice experiment to explore the changes within the four dimensions.Although the method is rather "impressionistic", it informs me a huge amount of possibilities on this productive land.

To be honest, I prefer urban situation than rural ones. I like the diversity of culture and dramatic conflict, also the crazy ideas happened everyday in the metropolis, like dramas on stage, full of emotion. However, Jæren is quite "out of my expectation". I didn't presume upon its richness in structure and different scale. Thought it's flat, but seems all materials and functions collide here while at the same time,in harmony. Once your body is in the Jæren's territory, no matter whether you are on land or in sky, just inhale the landscape, by expriencing the long history and horizontal and vertical hierarchy. Eventually, people should be a part of the land, merged in the horizon...

From the perspective of aesthetics, the landscape in Jæren is elegant enough. I don't see any necessity to overthrow and refurbish it. What I need to do is to make an organic fabric in order to optimize the value of Jæren, providing clues for culture/sport/service industry development (which I suppose will be parrel with energy)in the new era. Wish me good luck:)
