Creative Talk #10 Values, Method, Projects

Date: 30 January 2026 – 17:00

Venue: POETIC

Vågeveien 7 – Loennechengården

Creative Talk #10 places architecture at the centre of public discourse. On this evening, POETIC presents its professional foundation, core values, and selected projects to an audience in Kristiansund.

Hans-Petter Bjørnådal is an MNAL-certified architect, founder and Creative Director of POETIC, an award-winning architecture studio based in Kristiansund. The studio has received international recognition, including the BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026 for Folkeparken School. Bjørnådal has also participated in international professional contexts, including the Venice Architecture Biennale, and has served as a jury member for several international architectural awards and competitions. His work combines professional breadth, strong site specificity, and a conceptual approach that seeks to connect architecture with both human experience and the character of place.

Creative Talk #10 is structured around POETIC’s four core values: poetic architecture, creativity, quality, and regenerative place-based thinking. These values form the framework for the presentation of projects and working methods, with a particular focus on how architecture emerges through the interaction of landscape, materiality, use, and constructional quality.

The event addresses both professional audiences and the general public, offering insight into POETIC’s approach to architecture as a long-term, site-sensitive, and culturally grounded practice.
