According to this progress plan, D1b-7b will be step 6 and D2b-3 will be built after, as step 7. Then comes D1b-7a as step 8.

Þróndeimr: I see that you have updated the first posts with "unofficial" renders (meaning screen-shots taken by Ingenioren). Any reason why you haven't included the "unofficial" renders of D1b-3 by Brodtkorb? Or did you just not see them?

Thanks for the updates, marshol! I did the exact same trip last Friday, but after sunset. It's beautiful to watch the city from out there! But didn't you walk the promenade while there?

About the central park of Sørenga, I think it's turning out to be yet another disappointment, with it's complete lack of green and resting space. Why fill it with a freaking wall of bark?! And no seating?!?!

They have made asphalt and concrete surface, the most boring layer to have under your feet. This was discovered by the municipality at Åpen dag in Bjørvika. Oslo Muni sais that the plan required "high aesthetic qualities" that equals natural stone (granite etc). Now they have to make the promenade all over again (the surface that is). lol lol lol

No link, read Aftenposten Aften.
Grabbed some images of the promenade last Sunday. Don't think the asphalt look that bad, at least now that it is fresh.
Anyone know the outcome of the case? Will it be replaced?

I agree. Is this the best they can do when it comes to making an attractive space between the blocks?

Thankfully, it is relatively easy to alter this area later.

Parts of the asphalt will be removed in a stripe along the promenade, and be replaced by concrete. Illustration: http://web102881.pbe.oslo.kommune.no...fileid=3337449

I walked it, and enjoyed the city view as well. But my camera battery sucks, and died after my bridge/canal pic.
