The architecture of Norway has evolved in response to changing economic conditions, technological advances, demographic fluctuations and cultural shifts.



While outside architectural influences are apparent in much of Norwegian architecture, they have often been adapted to meet Norwegian climatic conditions.

In the 20th century, Norwegian architecture has been characterized by its connection with Norwegian social policy on the one hand, and innovation on the other. Norwegian architects have been recognized for their work, both within Norway - where architecture has been considered an expression of social policy - and outside Norway, in several innovative projects.
