GALLERI OSLO:DISCOVERING A NEW PLACE
To re-think Galleri Oslo doen not implies just a reflection on aes-thetics problems or on functional aspects, what has to be the core of the work is a research on the power of the spatial quality of an architecture and what this can lead. The purpose is to activate the potential which this building can offer, making it part of the vibrant dynamics of the district. G. O. will become an intriguing collection of spaces, able to attract people and to enhance their desire to discover a new environment.This will happen with the inser-tion of new appealing functions and the improvement of the existing, but also will be achie-ved by a new spatial quality for the existing, relying on the capa-city that an architectural discus-sion can affect a building. This concept led the redesign process, introducing a series of gangways, ramps, and boxes linked together in order to break the monotony of the building. There is a new approach to the building, engaging the visitor in sensorial experience of the buil-ding where the movement is a unifying feature.
Galleri Oslo is located in the very centre of the city. Many are the current activities and many more are going to happen when the Barcode and the Fjordby Masterplans are going to be completed. Nowadays G.O. does not have all the facilities, compared with Oslo S or Oslo City. A great potential still to be exploited.

barriers between city and fjord
many are the urban barriers that separates Galleri Oslo and the dense city from the sea. With the current projects hap-pening on the shore it is possi-ble to rethink this missing link.Galleri Oslo might be the joint between sea and the lively district of Grønland.
road system
all the congested traffic that is currently surrounding Galleri Oslo is going to decrease semsibily with the dismission of the car bridge that cuts the site and the realization of other, more external, roads.

the functional program a new Galleri Oslo focuses on the idea that people can be able to wander all over the builidng, accessing almost every part of it and, there-fore, having an new and
enhanced experience of the place in which they are. This happens like a disco-very of the architectural space the are enmeshed.The functions indicated in the diagrams are not the
main issue of the project, the public/collective space that passes in between the program is the real core of the design process. All is based on that.

The final design choice is to maintan the most of the original facade wih the belief that this can give formal unity to the whole building. The traces of the new project are visible where the exterior finishing is in white plaster, simple clear and very different from the old one. In this way it also possible to localize the areas of the interior space which are more changed the most, as it is visible also in the longitudinal sections.

sections / This building is understandable in sections. The complexity of the interiors required a large number of longitudinal section that shows how the
external stable skin host inside a countinuously moving section. The long sections do the same, just from a different point of view. Here it is possible to
see how all these different spaces are interlocked and their relation with the old partskept from the original building.
In some places the standard tripartition of G.O. brakes up to reveal something particular about the building itself or the context.Here it happens both. The chance to see the morning shine on the glazed facade of the Radisson Hotel from the building opens a cut that crosses the entire buil-ding, generating a spectacular space that reads and makes evident the real dimensions and spacial quality of the interior.The men is now more aware of where he is in Oslo and more aware of the kind of space he lives.

STUDIO B3. GALLERI OSLO. IN SEARCH FOR A PLACE AND ACONSTRUCTION
The first impact with the area of Galleri Oslo and with the building itself was the recognition of the presence of a huge urban element that, despite of its dimension, does not manage to be a positive polarity for the city, remaining, instead, just a sort of barrier without a real connection with the life around it. The people just pass through it to get to their own bus in the Bus Terminal, the only remarkable event hosted by the whole construction, tran-sforming Galleri Oslo in a simple corridor. To change the situation it was necessary to give to the fabric some features making it attrac-tive, a place to live and to stay. A continuously, variable space allowing and inviting people to walk and explore it.The new structure occupies the same footprint of Galleri Oslo and keeps, as it is now, the Bus Terminal. It is articulated in three layers, parallels and equal for width, created by four conti-nuous walls that are also the primary structure of the buil-ding.
all the project had been developed using study models that investigate the interior spaces, light and connections between al the parts of the building
This disposition recalls the previous one, but with the modification that the original linearity of the project has been replaced by a high gra-dient of complexity of different spaces, public and private, interacting together.Now it is possible to walk, explore and discover the entire construction, since the flux of the public is
not limited anymore to the “central layer”.The result is a big variety of spaces with diverse purposes but connected each other allowing the existence of the move-ment through the entire building. The people moving around activate the building and vice versa the intriguing spaces offered by the building itself make
people moving in it.
The original simplicity of the three layers and of the four walls has been overwhelmed by the complexity of the variety of spaces in filled in the structure, that are themselves generating another complexity, new in every moment becau-se is given by the way in which the people chose
in search for a place and a construction
all the project had been developed using study models that investigate the interior spaces, light and connections between al the parts of the building
to live the interior spaces. All the spaces have a certain awareness of the spaces close to them because everything is, in different gradients, inter-connected.
The initial purpose of “bringing the life of the city inside the building” is achieved so, through the realization of the com-plexity within the buil-
ding itself. Walking the entire length of the buil-ding it is possible to per-ceive all the different gradient of complexity present and to discover the richness present inside the footprint of the old Galleri.Eventually, it is possible to say that the complexi-ty typical of the territory of a city (with all its diffe-rent perspectives, paths,
public and private spaces) has been brought inside the building, crea-ting, in this way the con-nection previously mis-sing between Galleri Oslo and the area around it.
The plans and the sec-tions were drawn in the last phase of the pro-cess. They are the result of all the investi-gation developed on the architectural space with the study models and the final maquette.

REFURBISHMENT OF THE ABANDONED OF CASTLE OF BRIVIO
with D. Chierichetti, V. Duy, M. Nikolova, B. O’Donnel, B. Stojanovic
The castle of Brivio has a tradi-tional quadrangular shape. Each side presents differnt conditions of preservation. The part analyzed by our group was the southern one. This side was bulit later, compared to the rest of the castle because it was not facing the military border of the river. The upper part was addes in the XX cent. when the castle was transformed into a silk facory. After it was used as a wine facto-ry and storage, but it has been abbandoned for more than 30 years.The purpose was to achieve a complete mapping survey of every plan and to redraw this southern wing of the castle. The second phase was focused on the analisys of the materials and their level of decay. The point was to guess which one would have been the cause of the decay and argue for a specific solution.The last step was the design, on a preliminary stage, for a possible reuse of this part of the castle that would have been able to affect positively the life of the citizenship of Brivio and of the structure itself.

HISTORY OF BRIVIO
Due to the lack of sources about the pre-Roman period, it is not clear what was existing there before the Roman settlement. According to the archeological discoveries of 1976, perhaps, during the I and the II cent. AC a Roman villa with baths was built, and probably there was a kind of a temple, dedicated to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. It is interesting to notice that in the early Middle ages the fortress had a moat. There are many similar examples in other com-
munities of Lombardy even close to Brivio.The medieval walls were built with some materi-als that remained from the ancient Roman construction. Later, during XII-XII cent. a new larger semi-oval moat was constructed because of the growth of Brivio’s population. At very this time, the status of the village was raised to a “borgo”, as the documents from 1199 suggest. In order to demilitarize the town, the moat was smoothed in 1262. However, during the second half of XV century Brivio needed
again the protection of a fortress. Hence, between 1428 and 1436 the old structures were used to re-erect the rocca, which became a state strong-hold till 1536. After the set up of the ownership of Brivio, the fortress lost its importance. In par-ticular, during the own-ership of Brebbia, 1788-1802, the fort was slowly dismantled, the ditch was refilled, and new structures (most often houses) were con-structed inside and outside the old fortifica-tions.

EDUCATIONAL CENTRE IN BRIVIOThe aim of our project was to find out a way of reusing the south wing of the Castle trying to preserve as more as possible the shape of the tanks used as wine container and the current spatial organization of the castle.
We decided to have an educational/cultural centre. with a a library, a bookshop,a small bar, a multifunctional space for small conferences and a variety of spaces to read, relax and share ideas.Not just a library, but a place that uses the literary culture as a basis to create a meeting point for people of all ages. For what concerns the wine tanks we thought that, because of shape and the dimensions, them could host shelves. In this way only one side of the tanks is modified and from outside it will be still possible to distinguish the division of the tanks, that is preserved. The entrance is on the ground floor and occupies the same space of the current entrance. Excluding the stairs from the 0 level to the Ist and the addic-tion of an elevator, the new distribution system follows the existing.Parts has been eliminated in order to give a bigger amount of air and light, increasing the quality of the environment. On the floor 0 one tank has been opened to host a small office and to guarantee the accessibil-ity to the stairs. The garages of the Villa Family have not been touched and are going to remain private property as they are now.
Considering the difference between the ground level of the castle and the one of the lawn in front of the external wall we proposed a light iron stair, detached from the defensive wall of the castle, to reach the inter-nal level and to get inside the building.

Many sites of the city that is going to host the 2015 EXPO are going to be refurbished, Porta Volta is one of these. The stretched shape of
the area is the mark left by the
spanish defensive wall built in the

THE CITY: A MOSAIC OF CULTURES
with Daniele Chierichetti
The site is in a historically important part of Milano. The stretch of bastions between Porta Garibaldi and Porta Volta has peculiarly long shape and includes the pre-existance of the old custom toll of Porta Volta.The programme requires the realization of a “slab” to host expo pavillions of many foreign nations.The plaza in front of the pavil-lions turns out to be a stage where all the national spaces overlook. An active public space for mutual cultural exchange between the citizens of Milano and the foreign population represented by the various pavillions. The core of the area is the public space of a plaza inclu-ded by two building similar for composition but not for dimen-sion and function. These are an auditorium and a restaurant that conclude the walkabout of the whole site.The Lombardy Region Pavillion is characterized by the brick frame facades that changes gra-dient of density as it goes higher. The use of brick recalls the tradi-tional “full / void” frame of the rural farms in the milanese countryside.

The Auditorium and the Bar are the closest buildings to the Casello and the ones that end the site, becoming the head of the area. We recalled the mass of the defensive walls with massive edifices, thus modern. The idea is two stones, leftovers of the wall left on the site. Their nemesis is their entrance, the glazed and fully transparent volumes. The dialogue between this two enti-ties shapes the construction.

A NEW URBAN CA-TALYST FOR MILANO
with Alain Marino, Elisabetta Rota
The aim of our project is to improve the urban landscape and to restore the identity to the public space of the site, that pre-sents itself today as disorgani-zed, isolated from the rest of the city and without formal unity.To get this point, to make the homogeneous the space we con-sidered to find an base-cell able to organize the entire site. The best solutions was to find it on the site itself. After the survey, we choose the AEM building, near via Boscovich. We divided this reference into smaller units that will define and organize the area.These "sub-units" had been distributed all along the site according to a increasing gra-dient of density that follows the relation existing between green and built. The first is decreasing from south to north, while the second, by contrast increases.It was decided to concentrate all buildings on the lot between Via and Via Scarlatti and Vitruvio.The four buildings are intended to become meeting places and to provide the possibility of a social interaction among residents of the area. Each building has a different function.
Analysis of the site
The first part of the work was a long and detailed mapping of what was happening in the site, its social life, its spacial form, its prob-lems, its strenght.Inspired by the sketches drawn by Kevin Lynch for his book “The View From The Road” we approached via Bene-detto Marcello with the same idea. The outout were a serie of hand-skecthes that try to grasp the most impor-tant features of the place, its essence.
In this sense the skecth takes the place of the word and describes step by step, meter after meter the area, highlighting the ele-ments that might be taken in consideration later during the design process. Walking the site gave us also the possibility to become
expert of the materials used on site and their state of maintainace. Also the greenery is understood in all its aspects.These simple sketch are a first step toward a deep survey of all the characteristics of via Bendetto Marcello.

although the site was designed in the second half of XIX as a “viale”, that means a continu-ous designed space inclosed by two lines of trees, the nowadays situation is very differ-ent. Just the southern end preserve the origi-nal design while the rest is in a state of neglect.The cars have invaded many parts of the site turning in some point the viale in a parking lot. The general design
apperas as scattered and not omogeneous.
The aim of our project is to revitalize the via Benedetto Marcello with an unitarian design and with new construction that can host the vibrant social life of the borough.
In particular a building for art exhibitions, one used as a music school and recording rooms, another one will have a
space for a conference room and a small book-shop and finally a build-ing which is basically a staircase that connects the street level with a square underground. Staircase has stepped parts and can therefore be used as an exhibition space or "stands" to attend performances that take place on the square which becomes, for the occasion, scene.The buildings are in fact linked together in

The project takes its start from the analysis of the AEM builidng and it subsequential subdivision in sottomulti-pli which generate a system of punctual disseminate element all over the site. We needed a SIZE: we choose the only existing element built inside the plot dating the original project and that, in fact, fits perfectly with the dimensions of the area.The system of the trees and the one of the built can now perfectly dialogue giving uniformity to all the plot following opposit gradients: where the trees increase the built decreases and viceversa.

underground level with a public space illumi-nated by a series of skylights which are also, in a smaller scale, submodules of the existing building AEM.A cut in the paving on the ground level of the square inscribed square underground and cre-ates visual unity between the buildings also on the ground floor.
Another effect that it is wished to achieve was
to avoid that the grind-ing wheels of the build-ings shut the view of the square compressing spaces. Therefore it was decided to treat the four sides of each building in two different ways and this has also led to the structural choice, which is to adopt two dividing walls bearing and blind. The remaining sides are fully glazed providing a "visual permeability" of the square.Access in buildings are
placed so that the inputs overlooking the square leading to the floors above ground, while direct access to under-ground spaces inputs are located on the outer sides of buildings. This solution is motivated by the need to make the square more experi-enced as a place of rest and meeting instead of just transit.

CO-HOUSINGBUILDING IN MILANO
with Benedetta Caggioni, Federica Sabatini
The main idea takes the move from the contemporary need of a flexibility of the interior spaces and the velocity of the building phase and its reversibility of it. The flexibility is required by the life style of the co-housing that has been adopted as the challen-ge to deal with during the design. The same space has to be thou-ght as something to be lived fully 24 hours a day by different users. The life in our days implies con-stant movement, from the hou-sewife, to the student. From the employee to the family; everyo-ne has different timetables and requirements. In this perspecti-ve, it is good to bring the exam-ple of the ground floor of the project. It has been conceived as occupied by kinder garden-homes. The family that lives in the apartment takes the respon-sibility of taking care of the small children of the community of the co-housing. The use of particular sliding panels the area of the house traditionally more dange-rous, as a kitchen, can be isola-ted, while it will become fully integrated with the rest of the house in the rest of the day. In this way it is possible to have a sort of “playground”.

NEW HOUSING FOR THE OLD SEAFRONT OF GENOVA
with Breandan Patrick O’Donnell
The program required a commer-cial ground floor and residence for the other levels.The project is developed in a peculiar area, narrow and long in the water of the harbour. Every side presents very defined featu-res. The North side is strongly influenced by the presence of the elevated highway deviding the built city to the seafront. To the West, the Old Dock is characteri-zed by the numerous boats and yacths and by the tourist attrac-tion represented by the Toti submarine and the Museo del Mare. The East side hosts a the noisy dry dock, to be dismantled soon. The South beautiful view on the harbor and, above all, on the “Lanterna” lighthouse (simbol of Genova) is the most important element to consider.Therefore the projetc was concei-ved starting from the context. Designed as a telescope to point to the Lanterna the building becomes narrower towards the end. The longitudinal elevations are completely different in rela-tion to what they are facing: the one on the dock is very open, while the other one on the dry dock is completely closed.

CHURCH OF SANTA MARIA INCORONATA
The aim of the studio is introdu-cing to basic concepts of spatial description in the architecture scale. Freehand drawing and technical drawing will be sup-ported by lectures of Descriptive Geometry as graphical repre-sentation of three-dimensional lines, surfaces and solids with emphasis and development of drawing skills. So the students will focus on many different techniques, from the sketch to the map, from drawing to mode-ling.Students will be required to analyze an architecture, to develop visual drawing and physical interpretation of the morphology to produce clear drawings; to support documen-tation and analysis, to hand-draw views and plans using the correct proportions; to develop the understanding of architectu-ral “space”; to learn a wide-range use of design and visual techniques, to improve a thorou-gh use of correct scale definition and drawing codes.Architectural space will be experimented by conventional techniques of representation - maps, orthographic projection, axonometric and perspective drawings, – analyzing relevant designs both in the building scale and detailed scale.

THE IDEAL
The starting point of the work is the
reappropriation of the real value of
things in a way to discuss the winning capitali-stic philosopy which measures all on thier ability of produce an income, with the limit of not
considering many other good ideas.
Our citieshas become an
impersonal “no men’s land” . We
live in a sequence of
spaces without particular quality; it is time to claim from the ords of “money-makers” a more human environment. To do that we need a perfect business plan.
SAMI RINTALA
Sami Rintala (1969) is an architect and an artist, with a long
merit list after finishing his architect studies in Helsinki (1999). He established
architect office Casagrande & Rintala 1998, which
produced a series of acknowledged
installations around the world until 2003.
Rintala had his first wider recognition in 1999 with the Land(e)scape:
Three abandoned wooden barns
were raised on 10 meter high legs. In
Venice Biennale 2000 Sixty Minute Man was realized;
A ship sailed to Arsenal with a
garden inside.In 2008, Rintala
started a new office with Eggertsson,
Rintala Eggertsson Architects. Big part

RE_BOX.A BUSINESS PLAN AND INSTALLATION
In five days the team of students and teachers has designed and implemented an architecture. The interest of this work lies not only in the final result, the archi-tecture implemented, the visible part of an all-round, but espe-cially in a process that caused a short circuit compared to the classical oppositions project / construction, theory / practice, teachers / academic / "real" world.A non-linear method, in which every act, every action is inte-grated and takes shape, it so happens that architecture beco-mes referentiality travel expe-rience, sharing and building. The interaction between the diffe-rent parts of the architecture, including the different attitudes of each participant (MIAW was an international workshop with students from everywhere in the world) is the core of a working method which aims to increase the attention, participation, inte-rest and creativity to architectu-re and allied activities screwing, plan, planing, cutting, discuss. The project was only one factor, an element of the constellation of activities in which each student participated in this workshop.construction phase
One of the keywords of this workshop and me-thodology Sami Rintala is adaptability. Adaptabili-ty of the project compa-red with the condition at the boundary, the mate-rial available, at the end, to resources. The concept of adaptability expresses a position "philosophi-cal", even before the project, compared to reality and the con-straints to which it is faced, considered, not as obstacles to be bypassed,
but as positive factors that determine the final form of the architecture as well as the design idea. An attitude that is found in the architecture of the Nordic countries in gene-ral and in particular in the work of Rintala. A me-thodological approach that aims to search for the essential, shapes and materials such as prag-matic response to the needs and demands of the landscape and the environment. The act of
building regains cha-racter of necessity and responsibility.
In Miaw this attitude has been transferred in an urban context, proving effective in facing the realization of a project in a limited time. When setting up the work of the workshop was given a new meaning to the theme of the relationship with the environment. The reading of the sur-roundings, the "genius

loci", contributed to the definition of the project strategy, and has been interpreted as an adapta-tion to the data "mate-rials" that have informed the project, the amount of timber, tools and capabi-lities specific of each. As well as great importance has been given to the reading of the place, rather than enhance urban roads or paths, focused in the census of the neighboring hardwa-re stores.
Under Construcion. The first day of work has been devoted to the definition of the project strategy (guidelines and feasibili-ty).On the second day the team focused on the most convincing proposal.Once you have defined the optimal solution, we paid special attention to the site. The work of the department "cut" was to check the joints, measure them and cut them in the correct size. These pieces
are then passed to the department "assembly", which carried out the task of mounting them together to form frames of 2.40 × 2.40 m and then fastening them on the bases. This strategy has served to re-use goods otherwise destined to be thrown away, and to publicize the project out-side of the faculty. Finally it was released a press communicate to be sent to major newspapers in the sector.

RINTALA / EGGERTSSON - OSLO
The first week focused on the design of a small wooden pavi-lion to be built in old disused dock in the city of Zhoushan, China, the metropolitan area of Shanghai and involved me par-ticipating in short meetings to discuss the design and imple-mentation of several models of study in the scale 1:500. The ma-terials used were gray card, blue card, balsa wood and PVC. Secondarily I draw some preli-minary study plans and section for other project developed by the office.For the remaining weeks of trai-ning I have worked, instead, on the graphic layout for a mono-graph on the work of the office to be published in Hong Kong and China.The monograph aims to illustra-te the development of the corpus design of the study in the last five years.The projects were selected from the study in order to show the wide range of solutions presen-ted to the office.in the publication are also shown realizations result of several workshops conducted by Dagur Eggertsson and his colleague and co-founder of the study Sami Rintala.

Description of the works
The first involves the redevelopment of an old disused dock in the city of Zhoushan, China.The project is part of a comprehensive strategy for the conversion of a large part of the coast of the port city. The Norwe-gian study was designed to draw two lots of the masterplan, one for an art gallery.Intead, the lot where I worked involves the
construction of a series of structures and wooden walkways that make accessible a former dry dock. The aim is to make it easier to access to revi-talizing the main open space of the new port.During the first week I developed preliminary drawings at a scale of 1:500 of the pavilion, plans and sections. Then I built three models of study, always in 1:500 scale represented three different options for the
same site.
The second task that I was given was the graphic layout for a mo-nograph to be published in Hong Kong. The mono-graph aims to illustrate the development of the study in the last five years. The projects were selected from the study in order to show the wide range of solutions pre-sented to the office. Are also shown realizations result of several wor-

In the North all buildings for living have to be made in an advanced way due to the ever-contrasting weather. Additionally, the houses have to be properly heated with external energy more than half of the year’s course. Therefore producing smaller homes would bring about a considerable economical and ecological benefit.
Today the construction activity stands alone for more than one third of total global energy and materialconsumption, well exceeding that of all traffic and transport. This should be a crucial question especially in Scandinavia,where people, in accordance with their growing wealth,possess larger and larger houses. And in most cases, this in addition to a second home called a summer house or a cottage.
Boxhome is a 19 square meter dwelling with fourrooms covering the basic living functions: kitchen with dining, bathroom, living room and bedroom. Firstly, the project focuses in the quality of space, material and natural light, and tries to reduce unnecessary floor area. The result is a dwelling where the price is only 1/4 of theprice of any same size apartment in the same area.
Boxhome is a prototype building, yet the same attitude could be takenfurther to bigger family housing and consequently to work places. Secondly, it seems that we have given the right to produce our homes to uncontrollable groups of actors who seek mostly
maximum income. The basic need to have one’s family protected has become a greatbusiness adventure. Making a simple house, after all, is perhaps not such a difficult task that it should be totallyleft for this kind of forces. Moreover, meeting the officialconstruction restrictions and laws usually seems to equal to the using of the building industry products and services, thus limiting the possibilities of a real change and development into minimum.Thirdly, in Western societies at the moment we are enjoying the highest standard of living ever know to human kind.
At the same time we are fully informed of the results of our culture of consumerism. Therein lays the greatest paradox: We are forced to actively forget the real reality to be able to enjoy the facade of excess we have created around us.
Finally, and most importantly, the goal has been to make a peaceful small home, a kind of urban cave, whe-re a person can withdraw to, and whenever wished, for-get the intensity of the surrounding city for a while.

ONE YEAR WORKING AT AMBER+ATELIER MASSIMO BERTOLA-NO
One of the firts project I have been taking part was a resinde-tial masterplan in Monza, in the place of a former factory of cardboards.I searched for references and I designed some proposals for a children playround. Then I had been working on differnt typolo-gies of housing, from the block apartment to the two floors villa.Secondarily I took part of the graphical part and representa-tion for a competition to build a residential and social housing district in via Cenni in Milano.The third project I have been asked to work with was a private villa to build on the top of a small hill in a municiplaity close to Udine. I worked on teh design of the outdoor swimming pool and the underground cantina for the storage of wine barriques that the owner produces. This project is, nowadays, on the way to be completed. For this building I also worked on the physical ma-quette to be show to the client.The office was composed by a partner, three archietcts and two students as intern. The working enviromnet was productive and positive.

WORK REPORT FOR PIETRO SALA
GENERAL
Pietro Sala was an intern in our office between 08/06/2012 and
05/07/2012. He worked 4 days pr week, and used the fifth day of the
week working on his master’s thesis. This was a good arrangement for
both Pietro and Rintala Eggertsson Architects.
TASKS
Sala performed different tasks in the office ranging from model
making, strategic planning, technical drawings and presentation work,
including 3d drawings and Photoshop. His skills in presentation and
graphic design made it possible for us to engage him in the process of
designing a monograph of the office which will be published by a
Chinese publishing house in a few months.
He was also actively involved in developing design strategies for the
harbour development, including an open- air theatre the office is
working on in Zhoushan, China.
PERFORMANCE
During the period of the internship, Pietro was a very positive,
focused and concentrated on his work. He showed genuine interest in
discussions about architectonic content and conceptual foundations of
the projects which enabled him to take an active part in the shaping
of our work.
CONSLUSION
Altogether Pietro Sala was a very positive contribution to the office
and we have no hesitation in recommending him for work in other
offices.
Sincerely,
Dagur Eggertsson
