PHOTO: TROND-ARILD ANDERSEN Unlocking hidden value Are there still hidden gems out there in our thoroughly data-minded and globalized world? Yes, there are. Take a closer look at Norway. Seemingly stable and traditional, Norwegians actually keep their deep cultural roots fresh through the spirit of exploration. Take the emerging global city of Oslo, for example. Its young population, high quality of life, and innovative business and cultural sectors make Oslo a “must visit” for many global trendsetters. Avinor Oslo Airport is a rising international hub. Closer to North America than any other airport in Northern Europe, Oslo is an smart choice for intercontinental carriers serving east-west routes. From the regional point of view, the airport is also the gateway to our compre- hensive domestic network, as well as the Nordic and Baltic regions. The surprises go beyond passenger traffic. Few realise that Oslo is the leading air cargo hub in the Nordics, originating more than 45 per cent of airfreight in the region. There’s room to grow, with a new cargo terminal being built in Oslo to take advantage of extensive unused inbound capacity and the steady growth in Norway’s seafood export sector. However, Avinor offers much more than just infrastructure. Our exten- sive market development capabilities are proven by award-winning The 19th century Allmannajuvet zinc mines partnerships with organizations such as Innovation Norway. in Ryflke have been turned into a museum, gallery and café complex, capturing the history of the period.

Due to post-war politics and restrains, the facility was constructed 50 meters inside a mountain. Both to secure this important facility from bomb-raids and to save cost in materials. It was constructed next to a natural mountain shelf in the beautiful Lysefjorden. Historically, because of intervention in nature, waterpower-facilities have been controversial, but in the same time it has brought work and pride to locals. Today, some look at these spaces as something sacred. The owners of Lysebotn1 is constructing a new facility, Lysebotn2, which will take over and increase the production. Lysebotn 1 and its halls carved out of mountain will then close down. I consider these halls to be highly interesting, and want to open them for public. My fascination is that the aim of the infrastructural program has do with the most essential needs of structure. In the fact that these industrial facilities require spe- cific logic systems, and programs that deal with infrastructure demands a specific architecture in means that only the most necessary will be done.

  • THE LIBERATION of OSLO and COPENHAGEN: a MIDSHIPMAN's MEMOIR C.B. Koester
    THE LIBERATION OF OSLO AND COPENHAGEN: A MIDSHIPMAN'S MEMOIR C.B. Koester Introduction I joined HMS Devonshire, a County-class cruiser in the Home Fleet, on 16 September 1944. For the next nine months we operated out of Scapa Flow, the naval base in the Orkneys north of Scotland which had been home to Jellicoe's Grand Fleet during World War I and harboured the main units of the Home Fleet throughout the second conflict. It was a bleak, uninviting collection of seventy-three islands—at low water—twenty-nine of them inhabited, mainly by fishermen and shepherds. Winters were generally miserable and the opportunities for recreation ashore limited. There was boat-pulling and sailing, weather permitting; an occasional game of field hockey on the naval sports ground; and perhaps a Saturday afternoon concert in the fleet canteen or a "tea dance" at the Wrennery. Otherwise, we entertained ourselves aboard: singsongs in the Gunroom; a Sunday night film in the Wardroom; deck hockey in the Dog Watches; and endless games of "liar's dice." Our operations at sea were more harrowing, but only marginally more exciting, consisting mainly of attacks on German shore installations on the Norwegian coast. We rarely saw the coastline, however, for the strikes were carried out by aircraft flying from the escort carriers in the task force. At the same time, we had to be prepared for whatever counterattack the Germans might mount, and until Tirpitz was finally disabled on 12 November 1944, such a riposte might have been severe. That and the ever-present threat of submarines notwithstanding, for most of us these operations involved a large measure of boredom and discomfort.
