Tunnelen / The Tunnel / public underpath

Industrial design students got the opportunity to change
the life of inhabitants at Ammerud (a suburb of Oslo) by
completely transforming a place people avoid to a place
people love spending time.
The Municipality of Oslo wanted to increase the use of the
pathway system, focusing on activity, safety and pride.
One of the worst spots is a 30 meters long underpass - completely dark and used as a
shelter for murky trading. We wanted to do something else than only giving the place some new lights, we gave Ammerud their totally own activity tunnel! A place people can be active, socialize and meet other people. Tunnelen opened in June 2015.
