Incredible Norway Showroom Built From Re-Used Doors and Windows

Working around the theme of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=reuse">“Re-Use”</a>, a group of architecture students constructed this<a href="http://trestykker.com/TrestykkerSmallENG.pdf"> inspiring artistic pavilion</a> made entirely from old windows and doors in <a href="http://www.trondheim.com/engelsk">Trondheim, Norway</a>. The unique <a href="http://rake.trondheim.no/sider/Nyheter_Rake_visningsrom.html">RAKE Visningsrom</a> ("RAKE Showroom") was built in just 12 days from recycled materials as part of the semi-annual <a href="http://www.trestykker.com/#home">TreStykker</a> workshop - a collaborative program between three Norwegian architecture schools.

During the workshop four students came together to develop the initial RAKE concept.

The building was realized through the ‘re-use’ of materials found at a nearby office-building waiting to be demolished.

The structure was built from layers of old windows and the ceiling was created using re-purposed doors.

The structure was imagined as a 50-square-meter cube-like form.

With the help of other students the concept progressed.

Once finished local artists and architects were invited in to begin curating new exhibitions within the inspiring space.
