“Norwegian architecture can be connected to a particular relationship between building and landscape that can be described by the ambiguity between resistance and interplay. Both the larger landscape and the individual site can put up a fierce resistance to cultivation and construction. At the same time, terrain and vegetation offer rich possibilities for adding qualities to human building. Some woud say that this ambiguity, given by the meeting between man and landscape, is a given general expression in the Norwegian culture.”
