Goksøyr & Martens and Snøhetta Architects (Norway), 
Olav Christopher Jenssen and LPO architects (Norway), 
Haugen/Zohar architects (Norway), 
Paul Murdoch Architects (USA), 
NLÉ & Kunlé Adeyemi (Netherlands/Nigeria).

Jeremy Deller & Vogt Landscape designed for Sørbråten in Hole a memorial that start with the path through the wood. For the Government Administration in Oslo they proposed a hillside that emerges from the ground to find itself in the city. The names of those killed will be engraved into the stone that supports the structure.

Estudio SIC suggested spaces as informal, temporal and ubiquitous parliaments of the day-to-day that would enable the citizen to develop new activities and to exercise memory.

Goksøyr & Martens and Snøhetta Architects proposed to remove a 650 cubic meter part of the Path of Love (Kjærlighetsstien) from Utøya and transfers it to the Government Quarter. An empty void will remain at Utøya. This void will become the memorial to the victims of the attacks that took place there on 22 July 2011, whilst the part of the Path of Love transferred to the Government Quarter will be somewhere one can walk.

Olav Christopher Jenssen and LPO architects’ Warm Mountain, a bronze sculpture of a mountain on a plateau of concrete. The intention is to mediate a symbolism free of intellectual complications. The choice of bronze is based on the traditional signification of the material, and on the fact that one can guarantee its durability as time passes by.

Haugen/Zohar architects created three memorial sites (a pathway in Sørbråten, a traditional Norwegian brick fopt the temporary memorial in Oslo and a glass tapestry for the permantent one) that each will have a suitable framework for contemplation of the events of 22 July, with the intention of reflecting optimism towards the future and encourage human participation and spontaneous acts through personal and communal rituals.

Paul Murdoch Architects used polished stainless steel to reflect loss through denial and absence where the living and departed merge; Silver and blue-black mirrors to reflect Norway in its diversity of place and people who remember; and precisely machined walls to reflect mind opened from isolated delusion to interactive dialogue.

NLÉ & Kunlé Adeyemi’s Sorbraten memorial in Hole is conceived as a static and contemplative place in nature, an abstraction of the environment and narrative of the event on Utøya Island. On the other hand, the Oslo memorial is a dynamic and reactive place in an urban environment, reflecting and registering the diverse values and moods of its users.
