Contest 189: A better use of space

Another photograph from my Oslo trip. This is the main entrance to the university, built - as you can see - in the Classical Overbearing style. There's an awful lot of enclosed space behind those massive columns, housing just a grand staircase. Which may have been fine in those days, but I'm sure the university is now running short of space, along with every other seat of learning in the world.

So can we collectively come up with a better use for that void? It's a tricky angle, looking up at it from below; but some kind of architect's rendering of how the finished building might look would be good.

High res is here.

Glass is always a nice addition, and an academic sculpture wouldn't hurt either.

Hi Mick, you have to be careful when you put an intense green-blue sky against a magenta-red building: the tonality of each element is in conflict. In the second example I have brought both elements to a more compatible tonality.

Thanks Michael, I like your tonal adjustments better than mine. I look in the book to find out how to do this.

It's not pretty, but it is more office space.

Contest 189: A better use of space

A recent survey at Oslo University suggested that most would appreciate more 'recreational' or 'green' space.

This artist's impression was put together by a class of first year art students.
