Welcome to Bergen School of Architecture

Practice Models is an ongoing event series that takes a behind the scenes look at the nature of architectural practices in Bergen with a focus on the way a practice is started, structured and run as well as the stories of those at the center of it all. The series aims to shine a light on the design of practice itself and the intertwined role this plays in its direction and output. In doing so, it seeks to highlight the richness and diversity of practices, to inspire, stimulate community and dive into how architecture is practiced today.

Three well established Bergen-based practices will share their approach to practice followed by a moderated round-table discussion.

Kvalbein Korsøen (Philip Kvalbein Hauge and Eva Korsøen)
OPAFORM (Marina Bauer and Espen Folgerø)

Inger Måren BIO: I hold a PhD in Plant Ecology from the Department of Biology, University of Bergen (2009). I currently work at the Department of Biological Sciences and in 2017 I was appointed UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Heritage and Environmental Management – Nature and Culture.

My research focuses on the dynamics in coupled human and natural systems, including sustainable development, natural resource management, agro-biodiversity, sustainable land use, ecosystem services, agroecology, and food security. I work with colleagues across the social and natural sciences to elucidate links between anthropogenic activities and the environment, in Europe, as well as in Asia, North-America and Africa. I seek to gain multifaceted knowledge within ecology and associated disciplines to investigate social-ecological complexities. In addition to a PhD in ecology I have completed a minor in Social Anthropology, and the cross-disciplinary courses Ecology and Development and Resource Management and Environmental Conservation.
