architecture & urban design processes with a different touch

Fantastic Norway is an architecture studio with a unique approach to their planning and design process.Their office initiated with the ambition of “creating an open, including and socially aware architectural practice and to re-establish the architect as an active participant and a constructor of society”. Their uniqueness of their practice is a red caravan which they use in an emblematic way to creat dialogue with local communities they are working on. The idea is to invite ordinary people to reflect over the values they think should form the basis for urban development. Here is an example of their work. 

The trademark of their practice, the red caravan, and the concept behind it, was exposed in the Venice Biennale 2008
