FutureBuilt is a good arena for collaboration and experimentation, as well as a good platform for showcasing the best and most innovative solutions, so as to stimulate collective learning and experience.

The architectural to the opera. The concept is based on the idea of a National Museum for art, architecture and design exhibition building in the Botanical garden in concept of the five-storey building is based on a vertical museum with a tower of 12 storeys, placed is located at Vestbanen, adjacent to Aker Brygge Tøyen in Oslo. Its focus will be on communicating large, central, continuous space that stretches up on a three-storey podium. The tower consists of a on Oslo´s waterfront. The basic idea for the New knowledge of climate change and the world´s through the storeys. The library will open out to static and a dynamic part. The static part satisfies National Museum is to use the available resources climate. Through an interaction between high and the city with a translucent façade and still achieve the requirements of security, climate and daylight carefully.
