5. Resistance + Interplay

6. « Here in the North, the sun does not rise to the zenith but grazes things obliquely and dissolves in an
interplay of light and shadow. The land consists not of clear massings and distincts spaces; it disperses as
fragment and repetition in the boundless. »

7. « In one direction, the sky is perhaps clear and blue, in another it is occluded by dark clouds, while the
zenith agitates unceasingly. Our only measure against this changeability is the steady rhythm of the
seasons.»

8. « […] the sky is [often] near, not as redemptive quietude but as savagery, amplified by peaked
mountains and spiked contours […]. »

9. « Suddenly the soil begins to glisten; light, which saturates southern space, here seems to emanate from
things themselve.They radiate in the white summer night, all is bewitched, the palpable dissolves in
enigmatic shimmer. »

13. « In Norwegian spatial structure […], one lives not in an extensive, open environment but between high
walls ….

14. …It is only when one is on top of the mountains that prospect becomes panorama […]. »

15. « Nordic space is simultaneously closed and limitless, as we experience in forests [,fjord] and among
skerries, [thus] Nordic form embodies tension rather than character. […] As a result, Nordic
comprehension is based not on logical category but on the sense of dynamic interplay. In the north we
live among things instead of in confrontation with them. »

16. « Such is northern space : an unsurveyable manifold of places
without fixed boundary or clear geometric form. In such a place, it is
not a thing’s eidos that matters, but it’s veiled relation to all others. »
(Norberg-Schulz, 1996)

17. « Our search for the Nordic may perhaps seem a nostalgic reaction
to our times’ increasing dilution of qualitative difference. Granted,
but that is precisely why nostalgia has become imperative – not as
a desire to turn back, however, but as a need to preserve the given
through new interpretation. We may call this process ‘creative
conservation’ […] »
(Norberg-Schulz, 1996)
