Tverrfjellhytta

Apparently, "Tverrfjellhytta" is Norwegian for "Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion". Its amazing how Norwegian can turn something so simple (in English) to something seemingly unpronounceable via phonetics.


That aside, Snohetta's scuptural observation booth is truly quite beautiful, and it would be difficult to imagine anything else in such a setting. Nature itself seems to surround the the structure's visitor even within the structure, where the sculptural woodwork of the otherwise oblong structure mimics the strong, vast exterior it is in. It's almost spiritual, both the building and the scenery, as if one were closer to God, freed from life.

This blog is a collection of various thoughts, sights and memories that define who I am, or form a facet of who I aspire to be.


More often than not, this blog also serves as a scrapbook of ideas.


I'm not too sure how many people know this, but I used to be very active doing design work like designing icons and web pages. Evidently, that's no longer really my passion, but if you're interested, you can see a small selection of them here.
