UK452 - ROA ROA’S RAG RUG

A revitalized Roalinna extends through Frøystad, woven from old and new elements like a fillerye (a carpet woven from scraps). The new streetscape, in dialogue with a green embroidery, spur the growth of a village more oriented toward community and shared experiences.

Frøystad concentrates shared life at certain points, and allows for the natural, unplanned and private at others. Existing buildings are fully engaged, adding to a sequence of programmable outdoor and indoor spaces; inviting Roa to explore new ways to inhabit and imagine togetherness.

Existing elements, communal spaces and connective green structure are three points of departure for a Roa that embraces and develops its own distinct identity through long-term and collaborative growth and different phases of transformation.
