Kristiansand is located in the southwest of Norway and is of key importance in the Agder region. In 2002 a decision was made to build a concert and theatre house for the local symphony orchestra and the theatre college.
The key architectural feature of the exterior is a 4,000 m wave front made of knot-free Norwegian oak. The inauguration is scheduled for spring 2012.
• 4,000 m² double-curved façade of knot-free oak
• 12,500 custom formwork boards
• Substructure in individually curved laminated timber
