norwegian wood

in 2005, norway initiated a massive 15-year agenda to generate
more tourism. The government turned to architects and designers
to conceive and build tourist routes and architectural rest stops to
enhance the experience of the stunning norwegian landscape.

the projects span from the southern town of jaeren to the northern
tip of varenger. visitors ( and norwegian natives alike) are afforded the
luxury of safe roads and reveling in clean and relaxing architecturally
inspired viewpoints.

the ongoing project has been aptly named, the national tourist routes
in norway, and features an array of architects including margrete friis,
peter zumthor, pushak arkitekter, code arkitektur, manthey kula,
snøhetta as, and jensen + skodvin to name a few.
