Yasmeen Almuhanna: Looking Out, Week 2

  After an ancient wooden church burnt down in Valer, Norway, OOIIOO Architects were commissioned to give the town their new public meeting space. The new church is built from wood to follow the local construction methods of Valer's religious community. The swooping wooden roof serves as a gathering space that allows for views towards the forest, cemetery, chapel, and the old church's ruins. The interior of the church is also built primary from wood. It is open to it's surroundings and lit by natural light.
