I didn’t realise today marks 15 years since the terror attack in Oslo, so I’m following up on this project with a couple of snaps from the newly reopened Regjeringskvartalet, which all feels very strange:
Plus some stills. My friend watched me draw pic 1 and when I explained the angst they were like “😦 that’s so dramatic”:
分かっちゃいないね (Tallum ver.) 🌲 My plan of “rope the kids into 20thC architectural history by showing them there is old man yaoi” continues (it’s working). Them again! #gunnarasplund #sigurdlewerentz #illustration #animation #architecture
Love letter from my commute, I’ll never not find Minories Car Park (1968-69) attractive 💌:
I wanted to reply with these really weird ones I saw in Brno but they were so uncanny that I didn’t take a picture 😭🙃 so in lieu of that I raise you Plečnik in Vienna:
Absorbed by nihilistic but beautiful books again (the only non-architecture genre I seem to read). I’m so glad I went to see the theatre adaptation and wish I could see it again
Barndomen är lång och smal som en kista, och man kan inte ta sig ut ur den på egen hand #toveditlevsen #illustration #literature
Tallum scribble, secretly a redraw of that one Haaland/Bellingham clip (my IG feed is full of them). Practice sketch that got out of hand (as usual) #gunnarasplund #sigurdlewerentz #skogskyrkogården #illustration #architecture
Came here to learn about art history and held hostage by men with bisexual appeal. So hard being a historian (👈 she doesn’t want to say that she likes it)
📸 Norwegian artists expansion pack. 1&3 - unknown photographer, 2 - Earl Leaf/Michael Ochs Archives. There’s this Nesjar thirst trap photoshoot that drives me insane. Like he did NOT have to do all that, put a shirt back on 😀
I think Erling Viksjø had a type when it came to artists but I cannot prove it 🤏 #erlingviksjø with #oddtandberg #carlnesjar & #kaifjell; #illustration #architecture
Wait you have a Pia lamp?? Unsurprised but I am v jealous! That is my dream living room decor 😭 I love that the Ahlséns used it everywhere but I always think about the bulb-shaped version Tore had in his flat at Henriksdalsringen, visible for 2s in that one film, which I haven’t seen anywhere else:
📸 anyways, some of my contributions to documenting Norra Guldheden and BB45 crumbs. Love how the buildings work with the undulating landscape. W&Ö were great at thinking across scales - from the plan of a flat to a masterplanned neighbourhood - and this is a super one!
🔍 there are basically no photos of Norra Guldheden out there and I’m kind of disappointed. W&Ö is the biggest sleeper hit of all time but they deserve so much love! They were so good! I feel responsible for them, if no one will discuss you then I will 🫡
Living Better 🏘️ Happy birthday to both of us, Kjell Ödeen! 🍰💖 This year’s bday card is your big beautiful exhibition. BB45 let’s go 🌠 #wejkeochödeen #illustration #architecture
A delightful evening at the Blue House to celebrate the launch of @c20society.bsky.social’s new book on C21st buildings (my century! 🥳), for which I had the pleasure of writing about my princess 🤍:
Eg smile (Viksjø ver.) 🏢 Viksjø debut for his birthday! 🍰 “Gratulerer med dagen” and I gave him angst of the highest order. Promise I did this out of love #erlingviksjø #regjeringskvartalet #illustration #animation #architecture
Back to the Norwegians for a bit; I like this trio. The boys about to cook up absolute bangers in naturbetong 🖌️ #erlingviksjø #carlnesjar #pablopicasso #illustration #architecture
🖊️ sorry, dramatic favourite still, I know. Behind the scenes pt. 2, no Asplunds were harmed in the making of this film <3
YARARARA (Tallum ver.) 🌲 Possibly in my video editing era? New Vocaloid edit about them up on IG, same handle everywhere! 🎬 #gunnarasplund #skogskyrkogården #illustration #animation #architecture

Gesundheitszentrum Wien-Mitte (1926-27), by Fritz Judtmann and Egon Riss. London folks, come visit the Isokon Riss exhibition if you want to see him at home! 😉 (but ofc get yourselves out there to the buildings too, it’s worth the effort)
omg. Increasingly convinced that no one has ever had an original idea and that is the only truth in architecture. Did they even know about this, I have so many questions 🙃
MAK was on my list but not as high as it should be, given that the Hermann Czech cafe doesn’t exist anymore. ☹️ So, that’ll have to be next time! Wien Museum was good though, mainly went for the Donauinsel exhibition which was super interesting:
