The Government Quarter. Oslo, Norway
Høyblokka is a government building in Oslo and a symbol of Norwegian modernism. It’s situated in the Government Quarters, a site of high cultural prominence with the main library of Oslo, multiple government offices, a theater and a church. On July 22nd 2011, this area was targeted by a car bomb and the site has been paralyzed since and become a cultural void.
For my advanced work in architecture I worked with this building to address the cultural void by transforming Høyblokka from a private government building into a public library.
