This land is not for sale intervenes in an ongoing construction site situated in the municipality of Bamble, using a newly established road as focal point for discussing alternative development options. By examining the conflict inherent to any built structure established in a natural landscape, the diploma seeks to explore the interplay between an architectural outome and a certain political and cultural locus.

A forest named Bunestoppen is the chosen site for the case study, embodying a landscape marked by several traces of human activities over the years. Treating the new construction site as a monument of the past, the project oppises the extensive planned development at the Langesund Peninsula. In the fictional alternative scenario, the infrastructure intended for private development is transformed from private assets to better benefit the existing local community. The diploma explores an architecture for neighborhood activities, placing trust on the locals to function as committed caretakers for the forest, as they have been for many years before the new building process began.
