dear designboom reader,
snøhetta's 'stad ship tunnel' joins the list of upcoming projects set to expand norway's architectural landscape. described as the world's first full-scale ship tunnel, the project was recently given the green light, and, if everything goes according to plan, it will be completed between 2025 and 2026.
meanwhile, kengo kuma and associates and mad arkitekter have won the competition to design a curved timber library dedicated to norwegian playwright henrik ibsen in his birthplace, skien. finally, dorte mandrup's long-awaited arctic attraction, 'the whale', has a new opening date. delayed due to the discovery of archeological findings on the building site, the project is now set to open in june 2023.
thanks for reading!
