Norwegian Wood<br />
Norwegian Wood was one of the main <strong>Stavanger</strong> 2008 projects.<br />
Rogaland has a rich tradition of building in wood. The Norwegian<br />
Wood project highlights this tradition, contributing at the<br />
same time to the development of the Norwegian wooden town<br />
with urban, modern and sustainable architecture in an exciting<br />
interaction with the historical town. Norwegian Wood will be an<br />
arena where possibilities within wooden buildings are studied<br />
and tested, a showcase both nationally and internationally.<br />
Norwegian Wood includes 10–15 building projects in Rogaland.<br />
Common to all of these is the use of wood in an innovative<br />
manner, an emphasis on<br />
ecofriendly materials, energy<br />
efficiency and the principle of<br />
universal access.<br />
