The Preservation of the Old American Embassy in Oslo | Jorge Otero-Pailos and Erik Langdalen

Preservation is often strongly related to aesthetics, but what does the aesthetics represent? We talk to Jorge Otero-Pailos and Erik Langdalen about their work on the old American embassy in Oslo. The building was originally designed by Eero Saarinen, and is now being redeveloped. Erik and Jorge have been working on the facade of the building particularly. We talk about how you preserve, or restore, a facade that has deteriorated over time, what are the considerations you need to take and what problems do you face?
