NEW OSLO PUBLIC LIBRARY (Deichman Library)
- Restricted Plan and Design Competition
HAV Eiendom AS invites teams
to submit requests for qualification, for the New Oslo Public
library Design Competition in Björvika, Oslo. The building
program includes 25000m2 for the main library, together with
45000 m2 of property area which will be dedicated to additional
programs. It is important to highlight the urban design requirements
in relation to the location of the competition site, and how
a specific architectural layout could resolve the relationship
between the Opera and the surrounding open public space.
Competitors will be requested to propose urban design strategies
that integrate the library's organization and programmatic requirements
with the building immediate context. Proposals for the library
building should deliver a strong architectural concept with the
right internal layout for the institution's optimal operation;
the overall objective is to establish a unique set of relationships
between the Library, the City and the Fjord. This invitation
is open to international teams and the competition languages
are Scandinavian and English. The competition phase starts October
2nd 2008 and ends January 11th 2009.
