Fornebuporten Metro Station
- Oslo, Norway
- 7000 m2m2
- 2018
Fornebuporten Station design proposes a unique experience of an artificial sky under ground: the “Skybelow”.
Projected content, illuminating cladding system that envelopes the whole station hall, is generated on the basis of real time weather data from locations around the world, offering immersive experience of a sky under ground.
If it snows above ground, here it is sunny. If it’s still dark above ground, here the sun already rises.
A synthesis of digital content, custom luminaires with calibrated lenses with bespoke 3d-perforated panels generates an environment that mimics highly realistic weather atmospheres.
Every time users enter the station, the Skybelow is different, constantly evolving, like a weather system.
By extending the day-light hours travelers experience, the space energizes users, with lasting effect and significant positive impact on local community well-being.
