“A Place to Be. Contemporary Norwegian Architecture 2011–2016” is on view at National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo, Norway.The selection of works on display includes projects such as a floating rental cabin along the harbor side in Oslo, co-living units with a social and sustainable profile, a memorial center at Utøya, and a visitor center for prehistoric cave paintings that gently burrows into the landscape in Lascaux, France, designed by Snøhetta. The exhibition focuses on five thematic categories of dwelling, shelter, transformation, recreation, and the heart of the city. The projects under each theme differ greatly in terms of scope, nature, and approach. The common thread that connects them is that they have been selected as the most characteristic results of contemporary Norwegian architecture over the past five years. The show aims to understand how architecture can create useful spaces for today and the near future.The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design or Nasjonalmuseet for kunst, arkitektur og design is the national museum of art of Norway.
