Guide to New Landscape Architecture

New Landscape Architecture in Oslo
The centre of Oslo‘s municipality is situated within a broad forested area far beyond Holmenkollen and Frognerseteren. From there the view spreads across the city and towards the Oslo Fjord with its islands. Following the conversion of Aker Brygge‘s former wharf- and harbour areas into a very successful urban area thirty years ago, Oslo‘s citizens began to pay closer attention to their city.

On the river Akerselva former industrial sites were transformed into apartments and cultural venues. At its mouth the new quarter Bjørvika is being developed, where the spectacular
opera- and ballet house has already become an urban icon.

Redesigned Karl Johan Street extends between Oslo Central Station and the Royal Castle. It is the heart of the inner city and basis for an exploration of new urban quarters, squares and parks – to be best undertaken by foot, by bike or by tramway.
