New Opera House Oslo





Norway's now largest cultural building. It is something more to be proud over. Many of this buildings around the world often locks out the public, but not this one. This one encourages you to be a part of its design. The buildings roof is to me more like a scarf that goose from head to toe, leading you more or less up from the water and up the top of the building without any trouble. Along the way up you meet families having pic-nic, lover sunbathing, students the mix is as challenging as the building and what a beauty it is!
I would say that Snöhetta has done it again. Snöhetta also did a refreshing and respectful work on the grounds at the Memorial site in New York, National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
