Contemporary Landscape Architecture in Norway: UTSOLGT

The book Contemporary Landscape Architecture in Norway documents some of the best projects designed and built by Norwegian landscape architects over the 20-year period from 1989-2009. The book includes parks, cultural landscapes, urban environments, and social landscapes in schools and residential areas. The authors expand upon the role and importance of landscape architecture in society, and present international landscape architects' view of Norwegian landscape projects, as well as interviews with representatives of other associated professions.

We hope the book will trigger inspiration and reflection in all those who are interested in landscape architecture and urban planning, as well as serving as an important reference for students of architecture and landscape architecture.

The Norwegian Association of Landscape Architects (NLA), which includes the majority of landscape architects in Norway, has supported the release of this publication. Landscape architect Vilde Stabel and Professor Karsten Jørgensen have served both as authors and editors. Vilde Stabel obtained a Masters degree in landscape architecture from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) in 2007, and has previously published in Arkitektnytt. Karsten Jørgensen holds a Doctorate in Landscape architecture and teaches history at the Department of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning, UMB. He has published numerous articles both in Norway and abroad, and is editor of Journal of Landscape Architecture (JoLa). The book was launched during the Oslo Architectural Triennale 2010, on September 27, and is published in both English and in Norwegian.
