Our society is shaped by government construction projects, whether we are talking about roads and paths, fishing ports and regional airports or hospitals and opera buildings.

​

The Norwegian state has raised thousands of buildings and structures in Norway in recent decades. The intention of the exhibition was to show and raise awareness of what could be described as “everyday architecture”, constructions that most people don’t think of as architecture, such as schools, prisons, hospitals, roundabouts, fishing ports, bridges, landslide ramparts and much more. The exhibition aimed to shed light on selected projects and reveal how the state creates a solid framework for everyday life for most people.
