Located opposite the city's Opera House and the Munch Museum, this imposing building fits into the ensemble in the new cultural quarter of the Norwegian capital. The project, designed by Lundhagem and Atelier Oslo Architects following an international architectural competition, was conceived around a radical paradigm of the library as a place for conviviality and substantial multimedia platforms in a conducive, unobtrusive environment.\u003cbr\u003eThe publication documents in detail the planning and building process, from the first draft to the opening. Essays by the novelist Elif Shafak and the library's long-term director Liv S teren explain the significance of the institution as an integrative social force, while Niklas Maak pays tribute to the building from the perspective of architectural criticism. Iwan Baan and H駘鈩e Binet capture the architecture and its atmosphere in exquisite photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deichman Bjorvika\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037786507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037786505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Deichman Bjorvika","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945825796351,"sku":"9783037786505","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f0f001d3-bf33-4e3d-871a-7ae58288db13.jpg?v=1681509973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deichman-bjrvika-deichman-bjorvika-9783037786505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
