Pivot industridesign was contracted by Nordic Office of Architecture for various design tasks on the Terminal 2 expansion of Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Our main responsibilities were the master surface models for roof and ceiling. The main objective was a rationalized design of the interior cladding, while retaining the architectural design intent. We reduced 23 628 individual panels into 10 unique shapes, detailed and ready for manufacture.

The twisting wooden roof and glass facade were also modeled and rationalized for manufacturability. The exterior cladding of the terminal is Swedish oak, and the construction is supported by large curved glulam beams. Finally, the exterior geometry was analyzed for water runoff and construction.
