Jante

The diploma thesis concerns the creation of a project located on an island in Norway. The project uses architecture as a form of communication and a metaphor for intangible qualities and social dependencies. It shows emanations of non-material dependencies in the form of matter.

The Project concerns the creation of a project of a residential complex located on an island in Norway. The process of creating a complex successively strives for constructing the material emanation of this metaphor. The material and non-material separations of the residential complex reflect the language of transmission, a project is a specific conclusion that sums up the research.\nThe task of the work is to use architecture as tools for conveying metaphors, theories, values ??and intangible properties. The project is a material emanation of Jante Law as an ethnic stereotype and beyond the stereotyped characteristics of Norwegian society (and other Scandinavian countries). In the work of the author of creating the "theory" of Jante Law, I am asking for philosophy, architectural theories in order to materialize the correct, regardless of the unwritten (legally non-binding) social rules. Project is a complex presents immaterial architecture as material. It takes place on many levels. Architecture serves as a form of information transfer (context; atmosphere; program of action; interior-exterior relations; transparency; non-transparency; material; tradition/novelty; response to the needs of the user, family, society, etc.).\nThe work was carried out simultaneously at the Mother University of Silesian University of Technology under the supervision of prof. Grzegorz Nawrot and also during the author's Scholarship to Norway at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, in the Body and Space Morphologies: Catharsis studio. Acting and The Collective, led by prof. Rolf Gerstlauer and prof. assistant Wenkai Xu.\nKey words: Jante Law, philosophy, housing architecture, Norway, Scandinavia, metaphor, Michel Foucault, Paneptikon, A fugitive crosses his track, wood, stone.
