Did you think that security and stability alone can explain Scandinavian prosperity? The architectural exhibit, Oslo Triennale, gives a different answer: The will to run a risk is essential for innovation in Norway.
03/10/2007 :: "Culture of RISK" is the main exhibition during the Oslo Triennale. The Triennale takes the subject seriously and is featuring a week long programme where risk as a factor for innovation is in the spotlight. New architectural visions and cutting-edge engineering, secret stories behind oil platforms and technology developed to launch missile rockets are some examples of what the audience could experience at the Triennale.

The Oslo Triennale shows that there is a will and always has been a will in Norway to run risks. A history of polar expeditions, engagement for political independence and courage to investigate opportunities within the oil sector illustrates that Norway dares to investigate the unheard of.
Oslo Triennale takes place in Oslo from 27 September - 5 October, and is the third in a series of international architectural triennales arranged by the National Association of Norwegian Architects (NAL).
