Not since the close of the 19th century has the desire for interaction with Nature been as powerful as it is today. A whole galaxy of Norwegian architects, many of them involved with the National Tourist Route Project, and designers are now cultivating this new interconnetion between man and his landscape. Under the shadow of climate change and excessive consumption, a strong passion for originality and roots is now awakening. "Design by Nature" tells this exciting story from a Norwegian design perspective. The second part of the book covers design and architecture in present-day Norway.

In spring 2011 Norwegian Snöhetta was chosen as the world's most innovative architect office by the American magazine Fast Company. The interest for architects and designers from Norway continues to grow. Exhibition projects such as 100% Norway have consolidated the country's position as a design nation that is making great progress. In this book, Design By Nature-a sequel to Norway Calling (2008)-Staffan Bengtsson considers the Norwegian design world's new and different relation to landscape and nature. Today mountains and fjords are not purely magnificent visual scenery but also part of a design process that perhaps ultimately is concerned with man's future on the planet. Book jacket.
