We are proud and happy to share that our project Čoarvemátta is nominated for the biannual European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award!
As a shared facility for two key Sámi institutions: Beaivváš Sámi Našunála Teáhter & Sámi joatkkaskuvla ja boazodoalloskuvla // The Sámi National Theater Beaivváš and the Sámi High School and Reindeer Herding School, Čoarvemátta is situated on Norway’s northernmost plateau. The building is a tribute to Sámi heritage, designed to foster community, creativity, and continuity of indigenous knowledge and traditions.
The EUmies Award is one of the most prestigious architecture prizes in Europe. It celebrates excellence in architectural works built across the continent and highlights how quality architecture contributes to sustainable development and the well-being of citizens.
Čoarvemátta opened August last year, and was developed through collaboration between 70°N arkitektur, Snøhetta, Joar Nango and the entrepreneur Econor for Beaivváš Theatre, Sámi High School and Reindeer Herding School and Statsbygg, with public art project by KORO.
