We have been working on the An Urgent Situation: Rethinking Tourism through Architecture, Art and Community https://www.praksisoslo.org/residencieslist/r20 project organised by Praksis Oslo (Nicholas Jones & Charlotte Teyler) in partnership with Don Lawrence, Tanja Thorjussen and Ketut Karya exploring the future of tourism in terms of design and architectural sustainability and their impact on local communities. The project began with a two-part online residency discussing issues which resulted in a design manifesto as well as exciting ideas on how to develop Samong Haven site in Sumberkima, Bali.

This month we are all at Samong Haven to explore and develop some of these ideas we have been discussing online. Residency participants include Zhe Rui Chen, Stephanie Florence, Kyrre Kalseth, Hans-Petter Bjørnådal, Johanne Dalemark, Eric Almberg, Ahmad Darkhabani, Afaf Ismail, ,Tadeo Nedala, Doriane Happel, Stephanie Florence, Majoren Tegnestue, Eric Almberg
