Benny's Wall of Death



This is the latest project from the 5. semester at AHO. We are working with a block at Grønland in Oslo, called Hollenderkvartalet. I made this garage / motordrome for Benny, a guy who is working in a garage in Hollenderkvartalet. One of the reasons Benny got his new garage is that I think it is important for a city to have activities during the day, not just quiet dwelling with no friction. So, there he can fix cars on the first floor, and in the evenings he can do his motordrome-show (riding a motorcycle on the inner walls of a giant barrel, as seen on top of the model).

The whole project is based on a fictional person, and during the whole process I related to him and presented him as a real person. No-one of either the teachers or the other students knew that he didn't excist, but accepted the whole story around him. In a way the whole project is based on a lie, and I found the whole process quite interresting.

I'd like to see more sections!
Do you have more pictures of the sequences (sekvenser gjennom oppslaget) or close-ups?
