- Summer course ‘Norwegian Architecture, Urban Planning and Design’
- University of Oslo, Norway
- June 30 – July 25
The interplay between architecture, city planning and design, and the specific Norwegian cultural, economic, and political environment in which they are practiced as applied design disciplines, is a central focus for exploration and discussion in the course. Norway’s role within overlapping Scandinavian, European, and increasingly global, contexts is also explored through the study of key international developments and the impact of these upon Norwegian architectural, city planning, and design discourse.
The City of Oslo especially (considered in terms of its key historic and contemporary buildings, cultural institutions, public space and contrasting urban environments) is actively used as a ‘living classroom’ for exploration of these issues and the wider questions that the issues subsequently raise.
