Fold
Fold is an inclusive memorial commemorating the tragic events of 22 July. Located in Norway’s government quarter, Fold redefines traditional monuments by inviting continuous participation and reflection. It features three distinct areas: Above the Fold for community interaction, Within the Fold for peaceful contemplation and Below the Fold housing an education centre. This innovative space integrates serene water elements and annual artistic interventions, fostering a living testament to resilience and hope. The essence of Fold lies in its ability to evolve and adapt – reflecting the changing needs and aspirations of the community it serves.
