Made in Norway
Norwegian architecture has been in the international spotlight in recent years. Following the success of Made in Norway, this second volume presents a selection of 40 new examples of the best contemporary architecture Norway has to offer. These projects – large and small, rural and urban – are examples of how architects in Norway have reacted to the challenges of today. How are the different aspects of a modern Scandinavian society reflected in its architecture? How are new technical and material possibilities translated into relevant buildings for the 21st century? The book is based on presentations from Arkitektur N, the Norwegian Review of Architecture, but also contains new material, explaining and discussing some of the main challenges of architecture today, as seen from Norway.
Arne Henriksen
Som ung dro Arne Henriksen til Frankrike for å utdanne seg til ingeniør, men han endte opp som arkitekt og den store fornyer av norsk jernbanearkitektur, en innsats som har blitt belønnet med mange internasjonal og norske priser. Henriksen har vært professor ved Arkitekthøgskolen i Oslo og har en allsidig praksis som spenner fra gigantiske byggverk som Norges Varemesse på Lillestrøm til eneboliger og hytter. Han er en systematiker med sans for matematikk som legger vekt på konstruktiv klarhet. Og samtidig en arkitekt med sterk forankring i kunstfeltet, atskillig sterkere enn det som er vanlig i hans arkitektgenerasjon.
Poisonous Skies
The climate change reckoning looms. As scientists try to discern what the Earth’s changing weather patterns mean for our future, Rachel Rothschild seeks to understand the current scientific and political debates surrounding the environment through the history of another global environmental threat: acid rain. The identification of acid rain in the 1960s changed scientific and popular understanding of fossil fuel pollution’s potential to cause regional—and even global—environmental harms. It showed scientists that the problem of fossil fuel pollution was one that crossed borders—it could travel across vast stretches of the earth’s atmosphere to impact ecosystems around the world. ...
Acid rain 2000
The Acid Rain 2000 Conference in Tsukuba, Japan, held 10-16 December 2000, was the sixth such conference in the series, starting with Columbus, Ohio, USA, in 1975, and including Sandefjord, Norway, in 1980, Muskoka, Canada, in 1985, Glasgow, UK, in 1990, and Göteborg, Sweden, in 1995. This series of International Conferences on the acid rain problem has made a very important contribution to the process of summarising the state of current understanding and making this information available. In the 6th Conference, approximately 600 papers were presented, including talks and posters. About 300 peer-reviewed papers from the presentation appear in this volume, and will provide readers with a com...
