SLA wins landscape for Norway's new Ibsen Library
We are very happy to share that SLA has won the assignment to develop and realize the landscape for Norway’s new Ibsen Library (Ibsensbiblioteket) in Skien.
The new Ibsen Library will become a unique cultural institution, combining a national exhibition center for Norwegian playwright icon Henrik Ibsen with a citizen service center, a new library, and a lush public park.
For the assignment, SLA has been chosen to develop the library’s landscape with a special focus on establishing both a welcoming gathering place for Skien and a new destination for Norway – with unique biological, social, and aesthetic qualities.
We look very much forward to the continued process with the designers of the building Kengo Kuma & Associates and Mad arkitekter, our client Skien Kommune, and our team with Backe Vestfold Telemark AS, Norconsult, and Viam Norge AS.
