Europan Forum in Oslo in November 2011
Europan Norway is pleased to announce it is hosting an international Europan Forum for Sites and Juries in Oslo November 3-4 this year. The event will be a collaboration between Europan Norway, Europan Europe, Oslo Municipality, Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Norsk Form and National Association of Norwegian Architects.
The International Forum of Cities and Juries brings together the 17 Europan national structures, members of the 14 juries, and representatives of the 49 sites involved in Europan 11. The Forum of Cities and Juries is structured as a series of debates, working groups, architectural excursions and social gatherings to discuss solutions and focus adjudication of the entries that have been short-listed by national juries. Insight gleaned during the Forum will be utilized by the national juries in the final selection of winning projects.
As a new initiative, Europan Norway will be introducing for the first time public and academic programs to compliment the traditional Forum of Cities and Juries format. A series of lectures, debates, and student seminars will precede the Forum from November 1-3, enriching Europan discourse and encouraging new and widespread platforms for participation.
Europan Forum for Sites and Juries in Oslo is part of the official program of the National Association of Norwegian Architects 100th anniversary, The Year of Architecture.
Oslo Municipality is the main sponsor for the event.
