Furuset Sentrum

Competition Entries

As part of the FutureBuilt programme of prototype projects, you can now view the Furuset Sentrum competition entries. The competition entries have been exhibited and the winning scheme will be announced in March, I believe.

The site is located adjacent to the E6 in Groruddalen, where noise and particulate pollution from vehicular traffic is an issue.

Unfortunately, all competition entries are in Norwegian. However, they are worth a look as good and bad graphic precedents, in addition to the design content (or, lack thereof in some cases!).

Interesting things to note are how the schemes deal with the connections between Furuset and Østmarka/Nordmarka, and the role of Alnaelva within each of the schemes.

Comment away - I know I will...

Yours,
