Aesthetics in Government Building and Constructions

Norway

1997

Aesthetics should be emphasized more strongly in planning and construction cases. This was decided by the Storting by amendments to the Planning and Building Act (pbl) related to aesthetics in May 1995.

This supervisor will first and foremost give case managers in municipalities, county councils and state sector authorities an overview of tools to safeguard aesthetic considerations in planning and construction cases. It can also be useful for private builders.

The supervisor will hopefully inspire municipalities, county councils and other actors to develop their own planning and building tools for ensuring aesthetic
quality.
