View Full Version : PROJECT | Tullinløkka

We have got a task at school, commissioned by Statsbygg, to develop Tullinløkka into something nice. The idea is to possibly extend the campus of UiO and use the buildings of Nasjonalgalleriet and Historisk Museum for teaching. (N.G. is moving to Vestbanen as we all know, and H.M. to Bjørvika).

We want to change Tullinløkka into a lively area related to the University. Should we create a park, or is it too close to Slottsparken? A building? A square? For the public or only for students?

What do you think? No matter where you come from, I just want to hear what other forumers think.

For those who don't know, the area is about 100m x 100m, and this is how it looks like today:

Tullinløkka, Oslo - what to do/construct?

It's an interesting plot, that also has been discussed earlier in here quite some times... Personally I would love to see Nasjonalmuseet staying there, and get some kind of expansion above and/or under ground, but I guess that's getting more and more unlikely. There are certainly enough parks in the area with both universitetshagen and slottsparken right by, so it should preferably be some kind of square with some kind of activity but not like universitetsplassen, which is just a rush by-square:ohno:). I like that you/they want to include the university in the plans, but turning the museums into auditiorums/group rooms, is probably a worse idea than rebuilding the climate stuffs so the buildings can be used for exhibitions, as originally planed. There are plenty of other private groups/foundations that can use these buildings as galleries/atiliers/museums etc, which IMO is a the correct use of the buildings, if one should preserve them... An historic building lose much of it's historic value if it's use/purpose is changed too much.

Eitherway, give the square to the people (don't know if playground is right, as the area is mostly offices, even more if the museums move). Make a restaurant or something, with or without walkable roof. Since the square also has a tramstop, the posibilities are really endless!

Tullinløkka should be kept as a square, with generous amounts of greenery but not big trees that block the views to the buildings. For example, trees in front of the back of the university could be cut down and the plain pilasters decorated to offer a better facade to the square. The northern side could do with a complete rebuilding, except for maybe the cornerbuildings. Part of the new buildings could be an extension for Savoy, the rest administrative offices for the university as well as one or two state of the art lecture halls. Shops or cafes at ground level to make it a pleasant and lively student square. Long stone benches to provide plenty of seating for students reading in the sun, and maybe a fountain in the middle. There are a lot of squares in the area, but they are either too small or too cluttered, this is one of Oslo's last chances for a real grand and open square.
An entrance in the middle of the square to a subterrenean space leading to both museums and the northern side works better with an integrated museum space, which is what I initially would have favoured. If university takes over, however, I would drop that, but continue to use Nasjonalgalleriet as exhibition space. It could be used to exhibit art done by promising students at the art academy, which is also nearby. After all, this was the original use of the building, for student sculptors.
One last thing I would do is dismantle the current spaceship structure in the middle of the square, and use materials from it for the new structures on the northside. Subterranean parking space might also make good sense, but entry and exit to this must be discreet.

Well, at least till the museums move. Nasjonalmuseet at Vestbanen anad Kulturhistorisk museum at Middelalderparken are projects we won't see done in probably 5 years, maybe more for Kulturhistorisk. When new functions have moved in, it's easier for Statsbygg and the polticians to see what's the need for this square, is my theory:)

You must be joking - it's right in the middle of the 2nd densest highrise area in the city and public transport nearly as good as Oslo S. Even pbe suggested buildings of 20-30 floors in this area!

But is it to daring for City hall and Holme? Probably....

Galro
January 19th, 2012, 11:59 AM
Yes, but not a single one of the highrises in the area looks remotely okay. They all have disadvantages of highrises (blocking view, breaking with surrounding buldings) with none of the pros. And PBE have done a lot of weird stuff so I don't really care that much about their opinion. Isn't it better to use the few opportunities we will get to build high on building a skyline too?

Ingenioren
January 19th, 2012, 12:08 PM
Following Ring1 from Filipstad to Sørenga with as much highrises as possible would be a good way of building a skyline... Having a new couple of tallest in between St.Olavs and Holbergs (here) as well as a couple of 20 floor buildings in Regj.kv would be a good improvement of the skyline for sure!

Galro
January 19th, 2012, 12:10 PM
And how are you planing to do that when almost all buildings along the stretch are protected? And it won't be much a skyline with these modest heights.

If you want a completely flat and low "skyline" row, then sure. Not exactly what I would call a skyline though. More closer to a wall separating one part of the city with another Israel style. It's much better to build a proper, high and slim skyline cluster around Oslo S imho.

For all practical purposes i believe this is a socalled volume studie. The design itself can be quite something different both in regards to look and shape.

I believe such a high volume could work here, but i would definitely argue that the plot at Tullinløkka that hasnt been developed needs to be stakeholder numero uno. What is going to come here is quite vital in my opinion. But since it actually is in the background i cant see that a high usage should stop the development. Besides the fucking byantikvar offcourse.

1. What does regulations say?
2. What and why should not regulations be the main premissgiver in this case?
3. What are the plans and what is the probability of a high priority building will come to Tullinløkka? on the parking lot.
4. And why for fucking sake cant towers contain apartments? Thats what we need more of and especially in down town. Every god damn tall building is either a hotel (with arguable design) or a office complex? I say make it at least one residential tower, but with extremely high standards to exterior quality.

Last but not least, dont let 10-15 years go by discussing the fucking shit out of the volume and height of this, i just cant take more discussions of this.

There are no apartment complex in the whole quartal as of now, so who are you really effecting by putting up apartments here. Everyone has gone home by the time office hours are over anyway.

I want apartments in at least one tower, better if both. Get it done!

And last but not least, dont change it into two boxes with absolutely no design. If boxes is wanted, i can draw them up for you, no architect even needed!

I understand Galros argument in general, but honestly I don't see what negative impact these highrises will have.

Of course these won't have any big skyline impact, but it's not all about skyline either.

If we had a historical center of greater value than we actually have, I could have seen the advantages of keeping the majority of the city low and a distinct part of the city tall, but I really don't see the need for this in Oslo.

On the contrary, the public spaces surrounding these buildings, above all tullinløkka, will be far more exciting than they are today, with the proposed buildings. This part of the city has good potential but many ugly functionalist buildings; if we can replace some of them with highrises it would lead to a better-looking, more modern and more attractive city.

If we absolutely should have highrises here, why don't design something thin with proper height? 24 floors laughable low. I'm sure you can get caravans that are higher now days.

It would have been one thing if looked like this:

Now it only offers the worst of both worlds: Low, unimpressive but at the same time blocking view, breaking with surrounding and casting shadows. And it will be even less impressive after going through Riksantikvarens system.

Any company want a highrise to be as profitable as possible, especially in Norway where it will never be profitable in building beautiful tall and less profitable Dubaish skyscrapers. To be realistic, 24 floors is very good for Tullinløkka. I bet the project will be reduced in height though, just as Krystallklar (MAD also made the first concept for Krystallklar, 127m tall).

Now it's not. 24 floor is poor as you are then left with only the negative effects while not getting a sleek, high and impressive thing unless it have a very special design. If they double it then I would be more positive - and Riksantikvaren would get a heart attack. So win win there in other words.

my issue is not so much the towers, the area already has a good share of midrises (relatively speaking), so there isnt much skyline to spoil anyway. The problem as I see it is the failure to create a gracefil cityscape. I realise there are factors, which are beyond the power of MAD here, concerning keeping the three floor brick buildings for instance. Its the combination of compromises, though, that keep on producing mediocre results for our city,

I was more aiming to wanting a sleek building at 24 floors wouldn't be profitable. If you want a profitable building hat still appear as sleek you have to go to between 200-400m, which will never go through the office of Riksantikvaren and is therefor unrealistic.

So Galro, are you against highrises there as long as its not 150m tall? Because i think we're been kinda fortunate here with 22+24 floors and should gather all support to this. If this doesn't get much support we will end up with something far less dense, that is for sure.

I don't know about apartments. Do 15 20million kr apartments really add that much city life? I think a good mix of shops, bars and restaurants would do more for the local community..

And I think it's important to have offices here to counteract the whole decentralization trend going on with Fornebu and the likes. Apartments could be located a block or two away, for offices a location like this is crucial. Just think about the visibility, proximity to Vika, public transport, etc.

I won't support this development, no. I think the current density of the block is fine. The biggest problem is the ugly buildings. I also think Oslo got enough half-high highrises scattered around the innercity as it is. We don't need more of that.

And no offense meant to MAD (if they are reading this), but I can't say that I'm too big fan of the actual architecture/design of the building either. It seems to me like just another glass box. I'm willing to accept glass boxes at places like Skøyen (quite far out in other words), but think central location like this requires architecture with some neat details to capture this much spoken about "human scale", not just impersonal glass walls.

I will say though that I love how the actual Tullinløkka looks in the render.

Spearman
January 20th, 2012, 01:45 AM
Needless to say, I'm very much in favor of this. I like the design, but more importantly, it does exactly what I think we should do a lot more of in this city: it keeps the street level with the older buildings while at the same time increases density by utilizing the large blocks we're blessed with in much of the city. You can get light and an open feeling down to pedestrian level, while having a building that has the balls to be visible and, yes, it will provide something to the faraway looks of the city. So, no, Galro, I don't agree with your point of view.

I said that I like the design, but it's not perfect. Upon seeing it, I got the feeling that it's more interesting at the bottom than towards the top. There's not much going on above the 10-12th floor where they becomes more of regular boxes than anything else. I get a feeling that I want to get out my danish cheese cutter and make some more angles and setbacks on the top on the clay model - preferably by compensating upwards. That won't make it harder to get through authorities either; you can't go lower than 0%.

Speaking of which - Janne Wilberg actually want to place people underground?!? She wants to reduce heights and give the people more light by in stead placing them underground? wtf?? :?

I can only wonder what that meeting must have been like:

"Oh, I love the concept; can you make it 8 floors in stead?"

I think we must remember that this is still just a concept, hence why they look like simple glass boxes. We're currently standing where we stood when MAD made the first 127m tall concept of Biskop Gunnerus Gate 14b whch later became Krystallklar by Jarmund. The only thing we should discuss in this matter now is the volume and height and what impact this would have on the surroundings, not the exterior facades.

But the thing is that I'm not a fan of the volumes and height either. The only thing I agree with is that something should be done with the block, but this is not it.

I would like to see something along these lines personally: Two large atriums in the middle of the building as the natural meeting point (that's the black circles are supposed to indicate) and building placed somewhat randomly around them creating a lot of small, narrow and cosy alleyways between them (the red lines is supposed to say "hey, I'm an alleyway"). Numbers of floor: No higher than 10. The lost cornerbuilding towards Henrik Ibsens Gate could also be rebuilt.

Essentially, you would like discontinued city walls, and wind tunnels in between? Please, tell me where you've seen this work?

Is even Borgarting to tall for you?:?

How has this anything to do with Tullinløkka?!?!?

You know that MAD would like to open the block too according to their proposal too, right? And yes I have seen it work. Just go a couple of blocks closer Oslo S and take a look at Citypassagen and then you can see for yourself. Afterwards you can go down to Aker Brygge or Tjuvholmen. And if that's isn't enough, then you can visit thousands of passageways and alleys all around Europe. :)

I would prefer either a lower or a much higher buildings, yes. But given that it's hiden inside a side street then I don't really care that much. I think it's bigger shame they only want for a boring as hell glass box though with no effort what so ever put into making the surrounding streetscape nice.

It belongs to the same block as MADs proposal, but I don't know if Entra owns the building. Of course neither this or MADs proposal is located at Tullinløkka but it's here the discussion about the proposals took place.

I thought you ment the corner building there.

Okay, I thought the whole upgraded part of Ring 1 was called Henrik Ibsens Gate, but apparently not.

^^You're probably confusing it with the term "Ibsenringen", which was a working title on Ring 1 when it was built in the 80ies - early 90ies.

I really don't see your side here, Galro. Sure, an alleyway can be nice, but why would you want the buildings to "turn in on themselves" and create a separate, secluded space when you have a natural gathering point to get (and poison) air right in front of them? And exactly what is so wrong about breaking up the cityscape and give us a little more variation in stead of just continuing the carpet of low-rises that already exists everywhere? Sure, I agree that taller and slimmer is better, and perhaps we could petition them to do a study on that (personally I'm a real sucker for "crowns" and tapering spires), but in terms of "disadvantages with high-rises", surely it's better to pull back from the street and let more light down than building 35 m right up to the edge?

Because:
1. It makes the city interesting and it gives us more to explore. People love small and narrow street, as they are usually very pedestrian friendly. Just take a look at most old towns.

2. The whole point behind the development as far as I understood was to create a meeting point between the university, students and a big publishing house (schibsted). Or at least that's how it is getting sold to the public. MAD included two open areas inside their building (to create the meeting points I presume) and I therefore did the same with my suggestion.


And exactly what is so wrong about breaking up the cityscape and give us a little more variation in stead of just continuing the carpet of low-rises that already exists everywhere?

Because I and many other think it is ugly. Oslo (at least not this part) isn't exactly what I would call a carpet city. Instead we have highrises boxes placed randomly around. Has this given Oslo a good reputation for being an exciting city that breaks with the carpet lowrises? No, not as far as I am aware, instead many think it is the ugliest city in the world who have no idea what its doing. Shouldn't the goal be to create a city people will like to be and to live in?

No, not really. The shadow problem isn't so much for the street that surround them (our narrow streets are getting covered in shadows even with Grunerløkkas density) but more the park and open squares close by as highrise shadows reach longer. It won't change the view either which is the other problem.
