Campus Frælsið: the winning architectural design seeks to create a small district rather than one large building

Architects were recently tasked with designing a university campus that inspires students, staff, visitors and local residents alike.
The architects were asked to design a building that blends seamlessly into the existing landscape, represents the values of the university through architectonic quality and serves as a model for sustainable building in the Faroes.
Yesterday, it was decided that Copenhagen-based architectural firm Henning Larsen North Atlantic, featuring renowned Faroese architect Ósbjørn Jacobsen, had submitted the best design.
