Visiting the Norwegian Architecture Festival in Oslo this September, I decided to take a look at city's new landmark: the Oslo Opera House by renowned Norwegian firm Snøhetta. A spectacular feature of this iceberg-like building is that it is possible to walk on its marble roof. Here, pedestrians and bicyclists, tourists and Osloites, young and old enjoyed the panoramic views of the city. For me it was fascinating to see a "starchitect," high-end opera house functioning as a popular public gathering space.
This is part of a collection of featured places from around the world. If you’d like to share photos of a place you find interesting, please add them to the Flickr group or send them to info@thepolisblog.org and we’ll publish your feature. Video and sound recordings are also welcome.
