Byverkstedet is an organization and creative studio that works with placemaking projects all over Oslo.
Improving places for people together with the people.
What started in 2013 as a group of volunteers wanting to improve their surroundings in Tøyen, has since grown to an organization and creative studio that works with placemaking projects all over Oslo. Based on participation and local potential our work centers around creating collective visions and finding actionable solutions.

To help implement ideas we involve designers, architects, artists, builders, social scientist, volunteers and professionals who share our passion. By including people from beginning to completion, we aim to inspire creativity, collaboration and ownership. We believe that no place is too big or too small to have an impact.
