The recently completed “Norwegian wild reindeer centre pavilion” in Dorve, Norway by Oslo-based design office Snøhetta has been shortlisted by the world architecture festival for an award in the display category. The 90 square meter observation pavilion is positioned within the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella national park, the remaining home to wild reindeer herds. The structure provides transient visitors with covered panoramic view of the prominent mountain range.
