A10 #12

In magazine A10 #12 (november 2006) Sissil Morseth Gromholt writes about the National Tourist Routes.

Fiesta!

...quesadillas, tortillas, nopalitos, frijoles refritos, mole, salsa, chili-sushi - we learned a lot about food in México (thanks to Yasmìn and Federico!) and wanted to share all that with our friends, some of it you can see on this slide show..

Lofoten film

For the Detour / Omveg exhibition a film was produced by Nils Ljunggren and shot by Gösta Reiland for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration
Here you can see ornitologs, bikers and pic-nic people use our projects in Lofoten Islands.

¡México!

70°N was invited to the Arquinexo conference in Monterrey, Mexico. The stay was a great experience in all ways; architecturewise, foodwise, partywise, peoplewise.. We got the opportunity to talk with interesting people at the architecture school and with the other lecturers; Brian White and Michel Weenick of Architecture W, Benjamin and Chris of Aranda & Lasch, Angelo Bucci of spbr and Miguel Robles Duran and last but not least we got to know these wonderful architecure students, Yasmìn and Federico - thank you for your hospitality, the music, life and architecture talks and - of course - the great introduction to mexican cuisine!

White Adventures

For the norwegian 100 years of independence jubilee an exhibition was produced - Polar Norway. 70°N arkitektur created the design for the exhibition that was presented in two versions; one at the Tromsø Museum shown from early 2005 until late 2006, and one travelling exhibition that is now voyaging the world - from Murmansk, Russia to Savona, Italy and Washington..

Roads + Nature => Architecture

Our National Tourist Routes projects appear in Forum AID 3.06 together with projects of 3RW, Saunders + Wilhelmsen etc. Also others have discovered our projects...

Detour exhibition

The National Tourist Routes , with several projects by 70°N , are shown in an exhibition at DogA , Oslo, the autumn 2006. A beautiful catalogue was made for the exhibition, and there is also a slide show showing the space and scenography.

Venezia visit

Some of us went to the 10th Venezia Architecture Biennale together with other people somehow connected to the exhibition; Kjerstin & Knut Eirik, the maire and other people from the municipality, journalists, tvibits and of course the Steenstrups!

Venezia Biennale

At the 10th Venezia Architecture Biennale Tromsø was exhibited together with Kiruna and Oulu under the name of Arctic Cities in Sverre Fehn's pavillion. 70°N exhibited several projects and was also part of the exhibition team, lead by Knut Eirik Dahl. In addition to the exhibition the web site northerngateway has been developed, as an extended, in-depth version where articles, photos, films, architecture projects and Tromsø-profiles are presented under the pressure of the melting ice..
(some pictures from our stay in Venezia can be seen as a slide-show..)

The performance LAG, is created by dancer Liv Hanne Haugen, musician Anja Kowalski and Anniken Romuld of 70°N. Lag can be seen at Verkstedet, Tromsø Kulturhus October 19-22 2006 and at les Bains::Connectives in Brussels January 26-27 2007.

Domus news

The proposal for the new domus buiding got a lot of media attention after being presented at a press conference. The model will now travel to Venezia to be part of the Arctic Cities exhibition for the 10th Biennale of Architecture.

Symposium 2006

For the 2006 NAF symposium we invited architects and others from all Scandinavia to talk on the theme of the new future for the northern areas. We were happy to hear really interesting and clever lectures from; Hans Kristian Amundsen editor in chief at Nordlys, Lars Bendrup of Transform, Catharina Gabrielsson, Lene Edvardsen of Husbanken, Anders Wilhelmson of Wilhelmson Arkitekter and Johannes Pedersen of NORD - Northern Office for Research and Design. The debate continued under the midnightsun..

Bom dia!

May 2006, we needed summer and inspiration - Portugal was the answer!
(in the slide show you can see some of it; Siza's architecture school, the Expo area, and of course Casa da Música .)

Tromsø guide

One fin d'hiver sunday afternoon Gisle and Magdalena did a photo trip - in Tromsø.
In the preparations for the Venice Biennale we wanted to make an inventory of the existing and coming architecture.. Subjective choices and grey winter light ended up as a small architecture guide to Tromsø.
