The narrative of this diploma is twofold and will deal with two topics. Firstly, it seeks to explore the spatial possibilities of an obso-lete and empty health-care building from 1939 and how this can be transformed into dwellings. Secondly, it will discuss alterna-tive forms of housing in relation to the third housing sector in Oslo, and challenge the ways in which we think about the concept of dwellings and ways to live in the city.
