Recommend demolition of the damaged buildings
Utredere foreslår å rive de skadde regjeringsbyggene
Today, Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs Rigmor Aasrud received the report ”Choice of concept study for the future Government Quarter” from an independent consulting group consisting of Metier, Opak and LPO architects.
Administrasjonsminister Rigmor Aasrud mottok i dag rapporten ”Konseptvalgsutredningen for fremtidig regjeringskvartal” fra en uavhengig konsulentgruppe bestående av Metier, Opak og LPO arkitekter.
The study recommends focusing the Government Quarter between Akersgata and Møllergata.
Utredningen anbefaler å samle regjeringskvartalet mellom Akersgata og Møllergata.
It also proposes tearing down the government buildings that have sustained the most severe damage to provide space for new buildings.
Den foreslår også å rive de mest skadde regjeringsbyggene for å gi plass til nybygg.
I am also pleased that the consequences for the city have been considered so carefully.
Jeg er også glad for at konsekvensene for byen er godt vurdert.
The study will undergo quality assurance before the Government takes its decision.
Utredningen vil nå kvalitetssikres før regjeringen treffer sin beslutning.
An independent quality assurance group has been selected and will begin working immediately", states Rigmor Aasrud, Minister of Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs.
De uavhengige kvalitetssikrere er valgt og starter arbeidet umiddelbart, sier administrasjonsminister Rigmor Aasrud.
The consultants recommend Concept East.
Utrederne anbefaler konsept Øst.
This would involve re-grouping the Government Quarter between Akersgata and Møllergata, and that the Quarter would be expanded between Grubbegata and Møllergata to Hammersborg.
Det vil innebære at regjeringskvartalet samles mellom Akersgata og Møllergata og at kvartalet utvides mellom Grubbegata og Møllergata til Hammersborg.
The proposal entails the acquisition of property between Grubbegata and Møllergata at Hammersborg, disposing of R5 and R6, and tearing down the Y-Block, the H-Block (the tower), R4 and the S-Block to make room for new buildings.
Forslaget innebærer oppkjøp av eiendom mellom Grubbegata og Møllergata ved Hammersborg, avhending av R5 og R6 og at Y-blokka, H-blokka, R4 og S-blokka rives og erstattes av nybygg.
The proposal is one of the two most reasonably priced ones and it would not require that many streets be closed.
Forslaget er et av de to rimeligste og innebærer få stengte gater.
However, it would mark the end of parts of the historic architectural environment of today’s Government Quarter.
Det innebærer imidlertid at deler av det historiske bygningsmiljøet i regjeringskvartalet blir borte.
The consultants who have made the study recommend not re-using the building, but preserving the art it contains.
Utrederne anbefaler ikke gjenbruk av bygget, men å bevare kunsten den rommer.
According to the report, it is “entirely possible to preserve the indoor art of the H-Block tower, and the art on the gable of the Y-Block.”
I følge rapporten er det ”fullt mulig å bevare den innvendige kunsten i Høyblokka, og kunsten i gavlen på Y-blokka.”
The group is of the opinion that the gable of the Y-Block, featuring works of art by Pablo Picasso and Carl Nesjar, is especially worthy of preservation.
Utrederne mener gavlen på Y-blokka med kunstverket utført av Pablo Picasso og Carl Nesjar har særskilt verneverdi .
If the Y-Block is to be demolished, consideration should be given to re-use of the gable.
Ved eventuell riving av Y-blokka bør videre bruk av gavlen vurderes.
Among other things, the study proposes preserving the gable as a future work of art in the government park, placing the work of art in a future building as one of the conditions for entries in a subsequent architectural competition, or making it an element in a future memorial.
Utredningen foreslår blant annet å bevare kunstverket som et framtidig kunstverk i regjeringsparken, la kunstverket inngå i en framtidig bygning som et premiss i en senere arkitektkonkurranse, eller inngå som et element i et fremtidig minnested.
The costs of conserving the art in the H-Block tower and on the gable of the Y-Block are included in a new building.
Kostnadene for bevaring av kunsten i Høyblokka og gavlen på Y-blokka er inkludert i et nybygg.
The report recommends that 75 per cent of workplaces in the Government Quarter be in open landscapes where employees will not have fixed positions.
Rapporten anbefaler at 75 prosent av arbeidsplassene i regjeringskvartalet blir i åpent landskap der ansatte sitter uten faste plasser.
The study has not considered where a future memorial site should be located in the Government Quarter, but has stated that it can be fit into a future solution.
Utredningen har ikke vurdert hvor et fremtidig minnested i regjeringskvartalet bør ligge, men angitt at det kan innpasses i fremtidig løsning.
The Choice of Concept Study also includes a socio-economic analysis of the various concepts for the Government Quarter.
Konseptvalgsutredningen gir også en samfunnsøkonomisk analyse av de ulike konseptene for regjeringskvartalet.
The Choice of Concept Study has been drawn up by Metier, Opak and LPO architects and commissioned by the Ministry of Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs.
Konseptvalgsutredningen er utarbeidet av Metier, Opak og LPO arkitekter på oppdrag fra Fornyings-, administrasjons-, og kirkedepartementet.
Quality assurance will start immediately.
Kvalitetssikringen starter umiddelbart.
Norway calls for reconciliation in Côte d’Ivoire

On Monday, the former president of Côte d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, was arrested and turned over to Alassane Ouattara, who won the Ivorian presidential election in November.

Hans viktigste oppgaver blir å skape forsoning og å få landet til å fungere igjen, sier utenriksminister Støre.
The humanitarian situation that has arisen during the more than four months of conflict in the country is extremely serious.
Den humanitære situasjonen som har oppstått under den mer enn fire måneder lange konflikten i landet er svært alvorlig.
Mr Ouattara won the presidential election in November last year, receiving 54% of the votes.
Ouattara vant presidentvalget i november i fjor med 54 prosent av stemmene mot Gbagbo som fikk 46 prosent.
