“You have the valleys, the hills, the forests, the stars. It’s all part of the experience.”
“Norway isn’t a very big country, in a research sense,” adds Rekaa. “We’re few people, but nevertheless, they were creative and clever, and they built an observatory for solar physics, which turned out to [be one of] the world’s most foremost observatories in the ’60s.”
“This is going to be an educational experience, and the architecture is part of the education, a part of the story,” says Rikard Jaucis, a Snøhetta architect.
