The National Tourist Routes consist of 18 roads that run along the coasts and fjords, and over the mountains and plains in Norway. By 2024 there will be almost 250 rest areas and viewpoints created by some 60 architectural firms, landscaping firms, designers and artists. Over the course of eight years, Ken Schluchtmann photographed the National Tourist Routes using coherent imagery. Creating a strong identity while showcasing some of the most beautiful parts of rural Norway, the photographs mix nature, art and architecture.

The exhibition design is conceived by the Berlin creative agency Bluescope and emphasizes the unique combination of nature and architecture in an environment in which large-format images form the backdrop for a total immersion in the Norwegian landscape. Curator Janike Kampevold Larsen is an associate professor at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO) and deals with Norwegian landscape and landscape theory.

The Architecture and Landscape in Norway exhibition will be open until January 17, 2019.
