7 mountains 7 stories 7 experiences

By Ülkü Gemalmaz

Urban structures are used by everyone in the city, and therefore they should represent collective memories and values. Making site-specific structures for an urban site in Bergen, inspired by the geography of bergen is the main focus of this project... The project uses a combination of graphics and structures to tell stories about subjective and collective experiences within the city. While I, as a foreigner, tried to discover what are the intersection points of Bergensers memories and activities about the Bergen mountains, I created my own memories and experiences on that matter. ‘7 mountains 7 stories 7 experiences’ are urban structures which people can use for short time resting and protection from rain. These objects are specialized for Bergen and designed by considering Bergen’s nature, history and people.It aims to give people a new experience by using the mountains of Bergen.
