The futuristic and sustainable projects by Haptic and Oslo Works for the regeneration of a fjord not far from the center of the Norwegian capital have been revealed. The objective of the intervention foresees the realization of an area of strong international attraction, obtained from a disused parking lot, in the locality of Fornebu. The urban development project will involve an area of 45.000 m2 and will have the Fjordarium, an aquarium that will offer an unprecedented view of the marine life of the fjord.
Fornebu Brygge it will become a unique knowledge hub, made up of workspaces for marine technology industry, business, researchers and start-ups. As well as a maritime center, equipped with restaurants, cafes, ferry terminals and various activities (sports, but not only).
The project would extend the accessible shoreline by 1.000 meters and also generate two new bays, as well as an 8.000m2 public park.
The Fjordarium
The Fornebu redevelopment plan will shape the urban development of the entire peninsula, attracting tourists from all over the world thanks above all to the uniqueness of the Fjordarium. Developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Water Research, the fjord aquarium is part of the marine biodiversity protection plan. And it will represent an incredible feat of engineering capable of withstanding the currents of the Fornebu Fjord.
The choice of materials
The combination of creativity and sustainability will result in the creation of a natural aquarium, equipped with spectacular galleries, for a unique experience in the world. The first renderings and the first details of the Fornebu Brygge project show the use of ecological materials, such as wood and concrete with zero emissions. The team is also looking into the possibility of reusing steel from ships, platforms and oil pipelines. And glass will certainly not be missing, a material that has always promoted incredible things low environmental impact projects.
