The exhibition LOST IN NATURE, on display through Nov 30th, highlights selected work of the energetic, accomplished Oslo-based practice of Jarmund/Vigsnaes (partners Einar Jarmund, Hakon Vigsnaes, Alessandra Kosberg).

Featured on Archinnovations.com with the Triangle House and the Svalbard Science Centre 78°north, The Jarmund/Vigsnaes produce meaningful architecture, most often closely related to nature and preferably in strong natural settings with harsh climate conditions. The practice explores modern possibilities with sensual and tactile means, seeking the right character for the place and purpose. Clear and understandable strategies aim for results that are both self-evident and sensational. Larger projects results most commonly from competition-winning schemes, smaller projects from the reputation of former clients and structures.
