workshops are open to students 24/7. The international faculty
consists of academics and practising professionals to provide the
necessary breadth of a contemporary architecture and design

area near the Aker River. Adjacent to the Oslo National Acade-
my of the Arts and the recently opened Food Hall and Vulkan,
