3RW was established in year 2000 as a young and independent office, strongly rooted in Bergen’s art and cultural scene. 3RW architects regularly works on the completion of diverse sociocultural site analyses, also using this site-oriented methodology in other participation processes, both in the fields of planning and architecture. The starting point for carrying out socio-cultural place analyses is supported by the fact that a place is not reducible to its physical components, but also an ensemble made of local inhabitants’ various experiences, memories, values and feelings. These analyses help 3RW to identify the many understandings, interests, differences, wishes and needs of an area-bound population. Such analyses critically contribute to the dimension of social sustainability of projects; their purpose is to unearth the relevant aspects of ‘the socially constructed place’.
