Guest‐Editor Christian Hermansen Cordua describes how the work of Norwegian practice Rintala Eggertsson Architects is informed by the principals' strong socio‐cultural convictions. They believe that raw capitalism alone cannot create a positive environment; as it renders the landscape no more than a site of mechanised production in which as little as possible is invested with a view to gaining as much as possible in the shortest time possible.
