The Architectural Guide Norway presents an insightful exploration of 150 architectural projects completed in Norway between 2000 and 2020. This comprehensive guide covers a diverse range of locations, including major cities like Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger, as well as notable structures along the Norwegian Scenic Routes. This infrastructure initiative aims to highlight the country’s stunning natural landscapes alongside its architectural achievements.

Curated by Anna Martovitskaya, the selection showcases a variety of artistic styles, building types, and scales, reflecting the rich architectural landscape of Norway. While the projects differ significantly in their designs and purposes, they share a common thread: the architects' commitment to addressing various challenges with a focus on enhancing the human experience. Whether it’s a simple pedestrian bridge or an expansive urban development, the emphasis remains on fostering a connection between people and nature.

Moreover, the guide underscores Norway's dedication to environmental sustainability. In an era where resource conservation is increasingly emphasized, Norwegian architects are leading the way by integrating innovative technologies into their designs. The buildings and spaces they create not only prioritize environmental friendliness but also embody a rational approach to human habitation. This commitment to harmonizing architecture with the natural environment makes The Architectural Guide Norway a significant resource for anyone interested in contemporary architecture and sustainable design practices.
