Five Canadian projects have been selected to showcase in the Oslo Triennial’s Neighbourhood Index, an online catalogue of neighbourhood projects, practices and perspectives.
The index highlights work from architects, planners, urban practitioners, academics, artists and activists from around the world. All projects shown in the index were sent in through the international Open Call that the Triennale, launched in spring 2022.
An international jury has made the selection to be featured on the online platform, as well as choosing which projects to be exhibited in Oslo during the Oslo Architecture Triennale, starting September 22nd 2022.
“The index aims to show visionary ideas and examples on how to form better neighbourhoods,” writes the organizers. “What are the practical, architectural, and social features of good neighbourhoods? How can we share more at a neighbourhood scale? How can new urban areas become more diverse and socially and environmentally sustainable?”
