The Architectural Guide Norway showcases 150 architectural objects realized in Norway in the
period from 2000 to 2020. The geography of the buildings covers both the largest and most
visited cities of the country - Oslo Bergen Stavanger - and objects of the so-called
Norwegian Scenic Routes one of the most important infrastructure project to promote the
breathtaking nature and its architecture. Anna Martovitskaya's selection of projects
demonstrates a wide range of artistic techniques typologies and scales but these are not only
united by the country of origin but also by their diversity. A much more important factor of
unity is the approach of Norwegian architects to the challenges they face. No matter whether it
is an everyday task (e.¿g. a pedestrian bridge a viewing platform or a pavilion) a large
office complex or a large urban development project the focus is always on people and their
relationship to nature. While today many voices loudly promote the need to conserve resources
Norway consistently implements the principle of environmental protection not only through the
use of innovative technologies but also by making the buildings themselves and the developed
areas the epitome of human rationality and environmental friendliness.
