Danish design practice Henning Larsen Architects showcases its new plans to create a mass-timber university building on the Faroe Islands. It is inspired by the ancient construction of Foroese settlements. It is made as a new campus building at the University of Faroe Islands and will be located in Torshavn.
It will be surrounding a series of schools and education buildings, following a similar gabled formation to those that exist around it. Partner and design director of Henning Larsen, Ósbjørn Jacobsen states that “Our vision draws inspiration from historic Faroese construction methods and the mass timber buildings of the past, while offering the University of the Faroe Islands a modern campus that blends seamlessly into the landscape and its varied context.”
