Oslo Opera V
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.
