Sandnes和Stavanger两个地方在2008年被选为欧洲的文化之都，挪威人举办了一个木制房子的设计竞赛，以展示创新的木建筑促进本地国际化。
Sandnes要求在步行街的广场设计一个有雕塑感的木建筑作为这里的亮点，这里应该能举行各种活动：聚会，市场，非正式的音乐等。
它应该能遮蔽风雨，支持各种社交活动。
因为它能从很远处，两个街区以外的铁路线上被看见，所以应该有识别性。
它能用于日常的活动，同时面向未来，我们希望把它设计成为一个公共空间，不仅仅是装饰物，同时也是城市战略的一部分。
它采用了过去的老房子的形象。而重新设计了所有的细节，它成为城市的标志物，利用挪威传统的木建筑概念，设计了一个当代的建筑。
这个公共的灯笼让人们享受光线和气候的变化。建筑的创造性可以激发人们的创造性，这里会发生很多故事。

When Sandnes and Stavanger were chosen as cultural capitals of Europe 2008, the Norwegian Wood competitions were launched to promote innovative, timber architecture contributing to make the region an international
showcase for it.
Sandnes asked for the design a new square and a sculptural object in wood in pedestrian district Langgata aiming at revitalizing the area, and creating a place where many different activities could take place: a meeting point, markets, informal music concerts and other happenings.
A place able to shelter, invite and encourage more social events and to sustain new practices.
Since the site is visible from afar, and from the railway separating thèse two distinct areas of the city it was essential to create an object that could be experienced from distance and reveal the square.
Homely but looking at the future, our ambition was to create a manifesto for public space design : not just a decoration, but an urban strategy;
The proposal used the iconographic shape of and old, uplifted wooden house. By the redefinition of its traditional construction and by making it glow in the dark, a new landmark for the city was created, a symbol of the old city upscaled to the new city’s dimensions, dealing with the Norwegian wood ancient architecture motives to design a contemporary object.
This public Lantern aimed at providing a space where to enjoy light and
weather changes if/when
nothing else takes place. And if there is always something happening, on account of the Lantern, more will happen: creativity calls for creativity.
