Rough Version of Jaeren Mosaic

I use culture as a clue to explore the urbanization in Jaeren while injecting my discovery with the knowledge from interview and other source. The pdf is not the finished version. I will follow the line like this:
1. Culture and art as a metaphor ever appeared and disappeared in Jaeren's natural and social landscape.
2. Take Sandnes for example, the Silobygget intrigued huge discussion on whether this high-rise culture center will bring out Bilbao effect.Various debate can be reviewed concerning urban development. Silobygget is also a clue to look at all those proposed high-rise architecture projects in Jaeren(some are suspended, some are in construction, they all in some way appeared or disappeared on Jaeren's scenario map). From municipalities' enthusiasm for new high rise projects, can see a fierce competition is on air.
3. Bryne also took part in this battle with Bryne Forum. What kind of urban identity a traditional agriculture area is looking for? and during this process, a series of conflict between tradition and modernization shall be discussed also in terms of culture phenomenon.
4. As economic competition is going more and more strong, to attract young talents back is a key way to find possibility for future. The factors lure young talents back Jaeren is another consequent topic, which is not solely concerned on culture.
The words in the Jaeren mosaic is not the final version, also the images need editing. Infographics may need my oral explaination:) I hope they will raise wider discussion.

    How does your earlier discoveries through paintings and photo enter your Jæren state of mind? How does your dialouge with fx Randy Nailor and his reference to complexities and singularities enter your work. In the sence that you have some treasures hidden in your own story book, let them unfold and add to your presentation. Your interviews - how does they add to your work - you send me a large text earlier. Is this part of your presentation?
