Norwegian Collection of Potential Architecture

NORWEGIAN COLLECTION OF POTENTIAL ARCHITECTURE is an online collection of the half-baked, the promising, the raw and the invisible architecture; Projects that miscarried, went over the top, were turned down by clients or for other reasons never became realised.

The idea is to create a database of this collective knowledge, designed as a user-generated web platform with continuously added projects. A statistical representation and survey of the collection will provide insight into this undisclosed realm. The collection will be a gathering of visions, ideas that will forever remain unrealised, but hopefully not made in vain. Together these projects can show a hidden potential and intelligence, and hence create a better and more complete understanding of the current state of Norwegian architecture.

The project is part of the side program of the Oslo Triennale 07
