Description

Norway is home to the world's northernmost aquarium, impressively designed viewing points amid spectacular landscapes, and the Oslo Opera House, which has revitalized an entire district. As in other Nordic countries, architecture is highly valued, and a responsible approach to nature and its resources is evident throughout.

This architectural guide showcases 270 buildings, primarily from the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These buildings are located not only in the largest and most visited cities, such as Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, and Trondheim, but also in the northern regions of Bod, Troms, and Svalbard. There is also a special chapter devoted to the Norwegian Scenic Routes, which are currently the country's most important infrastructure project.

Norway is already consistently implementing environmental protection measures in construction, not only through innovative technologies, but also through the design of buildings and urban spaces. From pedestrian bridges to office complexes and residential buildings, Norwegian architects face a variety of challenges, but their work always focuses on the relationship between people and nature.
