Barents Skyscraper

underground masterplan

Oslo based architect firm Reiulf Ramstad Architects (nice website – no flash!) is working on a plan to build the world’s highest building ever constructed fully in wood in Kirkenes, Norway. 16 to17 floors in height, all built in natural materials with the aim of being CO2-neutral. Looking through the proposal quickly it looks like it could be a new urban model for smaller Scandinavian cities although its been done elsewhere before. (via)
