Course content
Oslo Fjord City – introduced in 2000 – is nearing its completion by opening the City centre towards the waterfront, moving all commercial harbour functions out to the periphery. The last major and decisive piece of the puzzle is the (re)location of the international ferries, DFDS and Color Line, today occupying large valuable waterfront sites.
Options for location and organization are currently being evaluated – by transport efficiency to environmental impact – yet to be politically concluded.
The studio will engage in this discussion by cross diciplinary knowledge building, programming and designproposals of a new Compact & Urban Ferry Terminal consolidating the two ferries arriving daily in Oslo. The aim will be to set a new standard for a future oriented and sustainable waterbased transport system to promote a new Traveling Light strategy in the inner harbour.
How can a New Ferry Terminal contribute to both public and environmental qualities in the Oslo Harbour?
