What follow is the result of the main project developed through the 2015 fall semester project module “Tectonic Design: Structure and Construction”, at Aalborg University in Denmark. The task has been to design a proposal for a new church complex for the Norwegian city of Hatlehol. The church complex should not only be a place to host the church services, but also a place for the community to meet and socialize. Unlike the traditional church this complex will be a “working-church” where all administration is done within the building. A lot of different functions and people will be gathered under one roof, and this has been the focal point in this design proposal; to connect and gather people around one common purpose. This concentric idea expresses itself in the building through a reciprocal layout. At the same time the design incorporates principles from the two design themes; Nordic architecture and tectonic design.
