Like most modern cities in Europe, Oslo is turning industrial parts of the city into recidential areas. Now, a real prime piece of property is going to be developed: Tjuvholmen, a fill into the harbour basin that used to belong to a shipyard (my father was a welder apprentice there in the 1960ies).
Now a architect competition is being held, and the judges are the public of Oslo: everyone is invited to vote on the Web or at a physical exhibition.
One of the architect teams were quick enough to snatch the URI www.tjuvholmen.no, and has built a really elegant site using Flash to show off their idea, which by the way looks good to me, with a new park slash beach and everything.
It's in Norwegian, but there's few words: you'll manage.
