First phase of Norway's New Government Quarter in Oslo completes on the site of the 22 July terrorist attacks. The masterplan by Nordic Office of Architecture includes new routes and public spaces that reconnect the New Government Quarter with Oslo's historic center. The scheme brings government ministries together in an open yet secure civic landscape. Local materials and crafts are used across the new and refurbished buildings. On the site of the 22 July 2011 terrorist attack, which traumatized Norway, the first phase of the New Government Quarter (Regjeringskvartalet) in central Oslo is now complete.
