Through my project, I am proposing that instead of preserving buildings, we might be able to shift our thought to preservation of knowledge through appropriating traditional building techniques. Norwegian vernacular houses are built out of wooden building elements assembled to gather through traditional notching techniques. Its flexibility as a building element enabled entire buildings to be easily assembled, disassembled and adapted in any location for the house to move and find needs for variable lifestyles. However, due to the preservation law in 1992, the houses in my site, Lyngor, can’t be renovated and the moving tradition of the house ended under the name of preservation. The story that the Lyngor house is prevented from change by strict heritage laws. What matter is the preservation of knowledge; though a demonstration that appropriation of existing techniques can create a flexible building which can be adaptable to different conditions through movement. My proposal highlights that the change in our buildings does not have to lead to a loss of knowledge, but rather makes the case through appropriation of existing technique, we can give our building dynamism while expanding on vernacular knowledge.
