PAN-cabins in Hedmark, Norway by sivailarkitekt espen surnevik as

When the PAN-Clients asked me to develop the PAN-project in their forest, I had to use a long time to reflect on the task, theme and commission. There was a big will to try to develop something unique for the forest that could relate to the beautiful landscape and its colours, from the rocks to the small plants and big trees.

Tove Jansson – The particular history of the area, where people from Finland immigrated in the sixteenth century and settled, has created a pan-Nordic culture with mixed traditions that are very strong and interesting. This aspect lead to dive into the Finish artist, and writer, Tove Janssons work. Janssons work is most famous for her creation of the Mu’mins, but her texts and drawings define a whole mythology, I will say, created around the Nordic view on nature and the Finish forests. For Me it represents a genuine feeling of how the Nordic individual relates to the long distances between settlements in rural Scandinavia, the loneliness, the dark winters, and the cold climate. Jansson puts words and illustrations to the illusions that is created inside the mind, of fear and the worm security, that occurs in us all when in contact with the bear elements of the Nordic nature.
