Reflection
During the corona lockdown of the Bergen School of Architecture, that started on the 12th of March, we tried to stick to the timeline that we created in January. Due to the circumstances of working from home, we had to make some other decisions and choices.
At the time of the lockdown, we were supposed to start with different kinds of social mapping of the area of Vågsbunnen. Also, one of our main ideas was to interact with people who live in the area. Nevertheless, with the restrictions that applied, we faced some difficulties in interacting with people. We, therefore, chose to do the analysis from our observations on-site, without interacting and through readings, rather than with, for example, interviews.
In this period of working from home, we focused on learning other ways of presenting our work online. We also had an extensive period of working with analysis and research.
Furthermore, at the time of the lockdown, we were just in the state of starting with model work. Since none of us had good enough tools to build the site models at home, we started with models first when we were back in school, at the end of April.
