Westerdals School of Communication is situated at Vulkan - an old industrial area next to Oslo's picturesque Akers's river and popular public space Kuba. Conceived as a “square peg in a square hole”, the footprint of the building volume is smaller than the perimeter of its basement. The glazed gap surrounding the volume at ground floor level creates a dynamic subterranean space. While light is absorbed into this space at daytime it releases likewise at night; thus creating an object which is literally “vibrating” in its own space.
