Oslo Opera XVI
One of the few buildings that has an own group on flickr!
The operahouse is the result of an international architect competition, won by Snøhetta Architects (Norway). As a legitimation of the monumentality of the building the architects chose the concept of togetherness and open access for all. The idea was to lay out a ‘carpet’ of surfaces on top of the building and make them accessible to everyone. The opera is situated where the fjord meets the city centre so there´s a nice view from the top.
