The National Tourist Routes scheme is a successful long-term architectural initiative that has transformed parts of rural Norway into national tourist attractions. Previously isolated areas have become destinations in themselves through the commissioning of a variety of built projects. About 50 have been undertaken, many of them by younger architects, and they include river saunas, viewing platforms and bridges, lay-bys, steps and paths down to water or up a mountain slope, cafés, hotels and exhibition and information centres. Reiulf Ramstad and Jensen & Skodvin have created some of the most striking of these, set within a magnificent natural environment of mountains, fjords, waterfalls, pine forests, cliffs and gorges.
While the National Tourist Routes projects across Norway feature prominently, the exhibition also includes other work by both practices, such as private housing and public buildings, all adding to an understanding and appreciation of contemporary Norwegian architecture. The exhibition includes photographs, models, drawings and films.
The Exhibition is organised by the Royal British Institute of Architects and is a collaboration between The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Reiulf Ramstad Architects and sponsored by The Royal Norwegian Embassy in London.

Jan Olav Jensen and Børre Skodvin as established in 1995 by Jan Olav Jensen and Børre Skodvin. The first project in the office in 1995 was the trial project along the National Tourist Road on Sognefjellet and Strynefjell in the Norwegian Mountains, a result of an invited competition. Starting with four architects in the autumn of 1995 the staff has grown to thirteen architects by 2019. In 2011 Torunn Golberg and Torstein Koch, who have worked with JSA since 1995 and 1996, became partners.
In addition to running Jensen & Skodvin architects Jan Olav Jensen and Børre Skodvin have had a ten year long collaboration with architects Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk and Arne Henriksen in a joint venture under the name Team 3, for larger projects. Team 3 won the competition for a multipurpose city block in Trondheim in 2003. The building was completed in 2005.
The main objective of our practice is to realize ideas in the form of built work while contributing to the development of the tectonic culture of our profession. The partners have upheld a part time academic activity, including research into different tectonic fields of architecture, as well as being the founding editors of the book series asBUILT. 20 books have been published so far (by the end of 2018), each book documenting one building with a complete set of working drawings.
