AHO pioneer celebrated in exhibition
As one of few female architects Wenche Selmer is considered among the best known Norwegian architects in the last century. This summer her wooden architecture is remembered with an exhibition in Augsburg in Bavaria.
The exhibition Stilles Holz (Quiet three) celebrates Wenche Selmer’s wooden architecture at the Architekturmuseum Schwaben, a subsidiary of Architekturmuseum der Technische Univärsitet München this summer. Selmer’s specialism was small buildings built of wood, and her output includes, among other things, 36 detached houses and 37 cottages. Read more about Wenche Selmer's work.
Selmer was also one of the pioneers behind the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO). She was one of initiators behind the interim architecture course that was established in Oslo in 1945, and which became the forerunner for AHO. She was herself one of the first graduated architects from the school.
The exhibition hangs up from 30 June till 21 August 2011. Read more about the exhibition Stilles Holz.
The exhibition is a German version of a traveling exhibition created by Professor Elizabeth Tostrup at AHO.
