This week we are asking: Can Architecture Fix the Water's Edge! It’s the last episode of this season, and we’ve come back to our hometown Oslo for a conversation with Jenny Mäki. Jenny, along with producer Ingjerd Kleivan and host Rebekah Schaberg, was a co-editor of the Out of the Blue book anthology where all of the stories you’ve heard this season (and more) were first chronicled. In this interview, we talk about how the studio’s blue focus all began, and about the Harbor Promenade project which is one of the main reasons White arkitekter established a studio in Oslo.
For more information about the Harbor Promenade project, please visit our website at www.whitearkitekter.com. You can find Jenny Mäki on Instagram @jenny.maki or on facebook @Jenny.ME.Maki.

This week we are asking: Can Architecture Fix Industrial Boom and Bust!
Thomas Riis is an architect and member of the Greenland Counsel of Cultural Heritage. Thomas wrote an article for our Out of the Blue book which chronicled the story about how the fishing industry quickly changed waterfront sites around Greenland that had previously been completely untouched, and how that industry just as quickly disappeared, leaving remnants of a community behind. These sites have since become a point of contention in the cultural heritage discussion.
