Hanevold, Ambassador of Norway to Ireland, will open the exhibition and it
is being hosted with the kind assistance of RKD Architects.

The exhibition features the 50 most important buildings erected in Norway
during the five years 2000-2005. Each building is represented by
photographs, drawings and a short text. Five of the buildings are also shown

of Architecture is proud to host this exhibition of contemporary Norwegian
Architecture. This is an opportunity to celebrate and promote excellence in
design consistent with our academic goals and our collaboration in the Cork

company have with CIT and said “they are proud to sponsor this highly rated
exhibition.” He continued, “Architectural education is a high priority for
RKD, who also financially support the School of Architecture established by
UCC and CIT.” RKD is one of the largest Architectural practices in Ireland
