Instead of making a storyboard I have been focusing on strategies for my project. The following text describes the four strategies I have chosen. The presentation will be uploaded tomorrow.
CHARGING THE LANDSCAPE WITH NEW ENERGY
Many people we met at the studios rejected the consequences of peak oil. Yet Jæren has to redefine its role. Four strategies are introduced to prepare the region for the changes in the time to come, making a framework where the new Jæren may appear.
1 RECONFIGURATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
The probability of Jæren finding “the new oil” is slim. In the future a bigger plurality in industry and fields of knowledge will be needed. The infrastructure should not serve one logic - the oil - but be able to serve several, making the region more robust in the transition to new economies.
2 CREATING URBANITY
What will fill the gaps when the Fortune 500 companies of Jæren relocate to new oil fields? Forus will need to implement new qualities and differentiate itself from other generic office areas, having the advantage to attract new companies and new actors.
3 SHAPING NEW SEASCAPES
The boarders of the oil fields will be washed away while others will appear, following new logics - currents, wind, sea depth and quality of the seabed. New lines will be drawn. Others will be more ephemeral, crossing international boarders and interests.
4 CULTIVATION OF THE FUTURE
The knowledge that Jæren holds today will not necessarily be the survival of tomorrow. New know-how should be the goal for the institutions of education, research and knowledge, in order to keep the region in the international spotlight.
