His practice is precarious, and probably most of what he creates is at the edge of what is possible to realize, and as such becomes a mapping of society&#8217;s capacity to absorb and materialize ideas. The Asker mortuary (built) and the Asker crematorium(not built) exemplify the position of this rather unclear border of tolerance. An investigation of this area becomes one of the main topics in Martin Braathen&#8217;s essay as he reflects on several key issues in H\u00f8lmebakk&#8217;s work. Does architecture come into being when the project is completed in the mind of the architect, or at the moment it is realized as a physical object and conditions human activity? He concludes, &laquo;Architecture&#8217;s &#8216;architecturehood&#8217; is for H\u00f8lmebakk contained neither in the built object nor in the drawn representation (as with pictorial art). Rather, it occurs in the perceiving subject only.
