Summary:
Norwegian architecture has been in the international spotlight in recent years. Following the success of Made in Norway, this second volume presents a selection of 40 new examples of the best contemporary architecture Norway has to offer. These projects – large and small, rural and urban – are examples of how architects in Norway have reacted to the challenges of today. How are the different aspects of a modern Scandinavian society reflected in its architecture? How are new technical and material possibilities translated into relevant buildings for the 21st century? The book is based on presentations from Arkitektur N, the Norwegian Review of Architecture, but also contains new material, explaining and discussing some of the main challenges of architecture today, as seen from Norway.
