NOTES

1. Markaloven (Marka Act), Chapter 2 Section 5, September 1, 2009, accessed October 1, 2016, https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2009–06–05–35#KAPITTEL_2. The Marka Act expresses a long-term vision of development in Marka by restricting construction. The phrase “slow space” is also a reference to Slow Space Programme and development work of Bjørvika Utvikling in Bjørvika, Oslo. Future Library was commissioned as part of the Slow Space Programme in Bjørvika.

2. Norwegian forestry practice was discussed in author’s interview on November 23, 2016 with Jon Christiansen, head of the forest owned by the city of Oslo.

4. Hand-over Urbanism is a term applied to the Future Library project by the author (JVG). It describes an urban project that requires intermittent maintenance or development, and its time span is such that the entire project cannot be completed by those beginning it, thus requiring a hand-over to new participants during the term of the project.
