1. DOCUMENTATION OF THE

SPECIFIC SITE 2. RESEARCH REGULATION AND

MUNICIPALITY PLANS 3. VALUE ASSESSMENT AND

MAPPING 4. PRODUCTION AND FLOW 5. INTERVENTIONS

Dig into the history, and find how and why the factory played a role in the city’s history. Find plans,

sections, pictures and other relevant documents.

Possible sources can be The National Library (nb.no), Digitalt Museum and the specific Municipality’s own sites.

Also, get a grasp of how the site is today, through the camera lens.

Find out if there is any ongoing plans

at the site, or in neighbouring areas. With the Municipality plans in mind, create a value assessment where you research the different buildings and its values.

Find out how the building mass works.

Relevant diagrams can be mapping of structures, usage, communication patterns and condition of the different buildings.

Map how the specific products that are produced and how that flows around in the complex.

In addition, what is the future of the products? How is the product recycled? Can it be used again, and for what?

Based on your findings, you can start your interventions at the site. Possible interventions can be:

- Remove elements in bad condition - Remove non-bearing / low value elements

- Remove loose elements and clean - Reopen blocked doors and windows - Reactivate unused stairs and

passages

- Restore elements to original state - Add new surface

- Add new elements
