The world's largest sauna, a black-metal band playing rocks, deer-hide drums and a goat horn, and experimental films projected onto a giant rack for drying fish are just some of the attractions hoping to lure visitors to Salt, the world's first Arctic arts festival. From Friday, the 400-strong population of Sandhornøya, a remote Norwegian island 90 minutes' drive from the nearest big town, promises to be swelled by festivalgoers ready to explore what organisers call "an Arctic state of mind" through art, music, architecture and food. Most of the action will be concentrated on a beach on the island's northern tip, 2km long and 300 metres wide.
"It has this really special white sand," said architect and artist Joar Nango, who is Sami, the indigenous people of the area. RINTALA EGGERTSSON ARCHITECTS.

MG_6182_1024x1024.jpg (1024×682) I-BEAM DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE. The Pallet House project by I-Beam Design, was initially conceived as a transitional shelter for the refugees returning to Kosovo after the war.
These people needed an immediate alternative to the typical tent solution that could potentially transform into a new permanent home over time, even without access to sophisticated tools and materials. It has since become our aim to also develop the project as a more permanent housing solution to serve not only refugees in disaster stricken areas but also as a modular, prefabricated solution to affordable housing everywhere that can improve people's lives, the environment, society and even inspire greater diplomacy among the various cultures of the world.
The Pallet House is an inexpensive, efficient and easily realizable solution to the problem of housing people displaced by natural disaster, plagues, famine, political and economic strife or war.

Legs and tops are interchangeable, creating different-sized furniture pieces as needed. The exhibition opened to coincide with DMY Berlin earlier this month and continues until August.
