Stamina. Kari Nissen Brodtkorb and four predecessors

Kari Nissen Brodtkorb (b. 1942) is one of Norway’s most highly acclaimed architects. Completed in 1990, the waterfront development at Aker Brygge in Oslo has made her name known far beyond the professional community. For over thirty years, she ran her own architectural office with a team of female employees, taking charge of many large and complex commissions in the male-dominated construction sector. 
 
For this exhibition, Nissen Brodtkorb has been invited to co-curate an encounter between her own buildings and the work of four historical predecessors. Women architects who ran their own practices and were recognised in their day, but who have left few traces in museums and archives: Lilla Hansen, Kirsten Sand, Kirsten Sinding-Larsen and Maja Melandsø.
