Text description provided by the architects. An old cultivated landscape with much variation and beauty was levelled into Oslo’s international airport in the 1940 - 60’s. In 1998, the airport moved out and left behind a depressing wasteland. After 10 years a new environment has been created, with visual references to the old natural forms of its landscape history, and in a visual dialogue with the more recent machinelike linearity of the airport runways. The Nansen Park, opened in 2008, now awaits 6000 new housing units and work spaces for 15000 people along its perimeter.
