Solutions to real and fundamental challenges call for an architecture where everything serves a purpose an architecture that follows necessity. By involving the local populace actively in both the design and building of their projects, TYIN are able to establish a framework for mutual exchange of knowledge and skills. All materials used in TYIN s projects are collected close to the sites or purchased from local merchants. TYIN is currently run by Masters of Architecture Andreas G. Gjertsen and, and has its headquarters in the Norwegian city of Trondheim. TYIN has won several international awards and their projects have been published and exhibited worldwide. // [email protected] //

2 Cassia Co-op Training Centre Location: Sungai Penuh, Sumatra, Indonesia Cassia Co-op Project: Centre for education and administration NOK Building period: August - September 2011 Built by: TYIN tegnestue and local workers Photographers: Pasi Aalto Students: Gjermund Wibe (Norway) Morten Staubo (Norway) Therese Jonassen (Norway) Kasama Yamtree (Thailand) Zifeng Wei (Hungary) Zofia Piotrowska (Poland) Sarah Louati (France) Rozita Rahman (England) Bronwyn Long (England) Cassia Co-op Training Centre is an space for education for local cinnamon farmers in Sumatra.

3 Klong Toey Community Lantern Location: Klong Toey Lock 1-2-3, Bangkok, Thailand Klong Toey Community Project: Offentlig samlingsted NOK / EUR Building period: Mars - April 2011 Built by: TYIN tegnestue og studenter Klong Toey is currently the largest and oldest area of informal dwellings in Bangkok and more than people is estimated to live here. The area has great social challenges which lead to high rates of violence and crime. A year of preparation period allowed the team to design and build the structure in as little as three weeks. The project s main functions are a playground for children and a common gathering place for adults. Students: Kasama Yamtree (Thailand) Jeanne-Francoise Fischer (Tyskland) Karoline Markus (Tyskland) Madeleine Johander (Norge) Paul la Tourelle (England) Nadia Müller (Tyskland) Wijitbusaba Marome (Thailand) Natthanan Yeesunsri, Sarinee Kantana, Nuntiwatt Chomkhamsingha, Nantawan Tongwat, Supojanee Khlib-ngern, Nattaporn Seekongplee, Sarin Synchaisuksawat, Nuchanart Klinjan, Panyada Sornsaree, Porawit Jitjuewong, Amornrat Theap-un, Ponjanat Ubolchay, Yaowalak Chanthamas, Boosarin khiawpairee, Praopanitnan Chaiyasang, Kritsana Srichoo, Mario Vahos, Carla Carvalho, Ines Correia, Sarah Louati, Pola Buske, Tabea Daeuwel, Johannes Drechsler, Lisa Gothling, Alessa Hansen, Albert Hermann, Karl Naraghi, Alexander Neumer, Nandini Oehlmann, Fabian Wolf The basic idea behind the project is that Klong Toey Communty Lantern can be part of a long term strategy acting as a social tool to improve community conditions in a positive development. Fifty small points of light are set among the pillars - Klong Toey Communty Lantern a convenient, safe and exciting lantern, both practically and figuratively.

4 Naust på Aure Location: Aure Kommune, Møre og Romsdal Stein Erik Sørstrøm Project: Naust NOK / EUR Building period: April 2010 January 2011 Built by: TYIN tegnestue Arkitekter Marianne Løbersli Sørstrøm The boathouse is located on the outermost reaches of the Moere-coast, and it hails from the middle of the eighteenth century. It was in such a bad state that the owner decided to tear it down and build it anew. The simplicity of the old building, its good placement and honest use of materials would become key sources of inspiration for the design of the new building. The disclosed and somewhat unavailable location made material-reuse very desirable. An adaptable design approach coupled with a high degree of presence on the work site have been crucial for the final result of this project. Rational choices in regards to material use, method of construction and detailing have given this boathouse its distinguished architectural features.

5 Old Market Library Location: Min Buri, Bangkok Old Market Community Project: Samfunnshus NOK / EUR Building period: Mars Mai 2009 Kasama Yamtree Pasi Aalto Magnus Henriksen Erlend Bauck Sole Collaborator: CASE Studio Architects Min Buri is an area of Bangkok, which in recent years has gone from a lively origo into an almost slum-like area. The Old Market Library was built in a 100-year-old market building and for over a period of five months, we designed and built what we hope, in time, can strengthen the passion in the neighbourhood. For this project to be successful it was important to involve the inhabitants actively throughout the whole process, from inception to completion. Initially we mapped the needs within the community by holding regular meetings. These meetings ranged from drawing and building models, to even clearing garbage. Aside from introducing ourselves to the community we wanted a deeper understanding of the situation they lived in. It wasn t always easy getting everyone involved, especially the adults. However when the project became more tangible this completely changed. We soon had a regular group that worked with us every day and who began to develop an attachment to the library, a sense of achievement and pride. Besides this social premise of commitment to the library, it was important for us to use local and reused materials, which were already available to the community. The refurbishment was a demonstration of what can be achieved by the inhabitants themselves, through own initiative, using local inexpensive materials and their own knowledge.

6 Safe Haven Bathhouse Location: Ban Tha Song Yang, Thailand Safe Haven Orphanage Project: badehus NOK / EUR Building period: Januar 2009 The new sanitary building houses the basic needs of the orphanage; the toilets, personal hygiene facilities and laundry. The internal structure was already built and became the framework for the project. The existing sanitary facilities at Safe Haven Orphanage were narrow, dark and have concrete flooring that accumulated water and dirt. With this bathhouse we have tried alternative solutions that hopefully will be an important asset in the future development in the district. The climate of northern Thailand makes good personal hygiene essential to prevent diseases, especially for small children. With this bathhouse TYIN wanted to create well functioning and dignified facility for personal hygiene.

7 Safe Haven Library Location: Ban Tha Song Yang, Thailand Safe Haven Orphanage Project: Bibliotek NOK / EUR Building period: januar 2009 Collaborator: Rintala Eggertsson Arkitekter Students: Pasi Aalto, Jan KristiaPasi Aalto, Jan Kristian Borgen, Mari Folven, Ragnhild Førde, Sunniva Vold Huus, Olav Fåsetbru Kildal, Lene M. N. Kværness, Oda Moen Møst, Ørjan Nyheim, Karoline Salomonsen, Anne Sandnes, Ola Sendstad, Kristoffer B. Thørud, Caroline Tjærnås, Anders Sellevold Aaseth Professors: Hans Skotte and Sami Rintala Sponsors: Norsk Betongforening, Bygg uten grenser, Minera Norge, Spenncon, NTNU In January 2009, TYIN invited 15 Norwegian architect students from NTNU to participate in a workshop at the Safe Haven Orphanage, Thailand. Under the guidence of Associate Professor Hans Skotte and architect Sami Rintala. The Lybrary stands on a concrete base casted on a bed of large rocks gathered on-site. The walls consist of plastered concrete blocks and cool the building during the day while the open bamboo facades provided ample natural ventilation. Iron wood make up the solid frame construction and serves as a comfortable floor for the children to play on. The most important thing to the Tasanee is that her children have food and an education. The library enables the children of the Safe Haven Orphanage to have a space to do homework, use a computer with internet and read books. The new building has also attained the important role of a gathering space and is frequently used for making crafts and playing games.

8 Soe Ker Tie House Location: Noh Bo, Tak, Thailand Ole Jørgen Edna Project: 6 soveenheter, barnehjem NOK / EUR Building period: november februar 2009 Pasi Aalto Magnus Henriksen Line Ramstad Erlend Bauck Sole In the fall of 2008 TYIN travelled to Noh Bo, a small village in the border between Thailand and Burma to design and build houses for Karen refugee children. The main driving force behind the Soe Ker Tie House was to provide the children with their own private space, a place that they could call home and a space for interaction and play. The buildings were named Soe Ker Tie Haus by the Karen workers, the Butterfly Houses. The most prominent feature is the bamboo weaving technique, which can be found within the construction of the local houses and crafts. All of the bamboo was harvested within a few kilometres of the site. After a six month long mutual learning process with the locals in Noh Bo, the Soe Ker Tie House was completed in 2009 consisting of 6 sleeping units, housing 24 children. Important principles like bracing, material economisation and moisture prevention, may possibly lead to a more sustainable building tradition for the Karen people in the future.

9 Rundhallen Interiør Location: Trondheim, Norway Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem Project: Student centre interior NOK / EUR Building period: November October 2007 Team: Erlend Bauck Sole Pasi Aalto Rundhallen is the entry hall of Samfundet in Trondheim. For a period of 11 months, the project combined efforts from more than 70 volunteer students and professionals. The main concept was to restore Rundhallen to it s original state as it was made in The walls, ceiling and floors were restored by examining old photos from the photo archives at Samfundet. As all light sources were placed to bring greater focus to the existing shapes and structures in the circular room. All additional installations were designed to emphasize the contrast between the old and new, highlighting some of the dignity it had when the students took the building for the first time.
