===Art and architecture=== The airport's architects were Aviaplan, a joint venture between the agencies [[Nordic — Office of Architecture]], Niels Torp, Skaarup & Jespersen and Hjellnes Cowi.<ref name="bredal45" /> The main architect was Gudmund Stokke. The terminal building has a light, modern roof that is held up by wooden reefers. The main construction materials are wood, metal and glass. The airlines were required to follow the same design rules for their buildings as the terminal.<ref>Bredal, 1998: 45–50</ref> The new pier is cladded with oak from Scandinavian rainforests, and features low-carbon technologies such as district heating and natural thermal energy to improve sustainability.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=25 May 2017 |title=Oslo Airport Expansion |url=https://www.airport-technology.com/projects/oslo-airport-expansion/ |access-date=2023-11-06 |website=Airport Technology |language=en-US}}</ref> The main art on the landside of the airport is ''Alexis'', consisting of six steel sculptures in stainless steel created by [[Per Inge Bjørlo]]. On the airside, Carin Wessel used {{convert|30000|m}} of thread to make the impression of clouds and webs, named ''Ad Astra''. Anna Karin Rynander and Per-Olof Sandberg cooperated in making two installations: ''The Marathon Dancers'', located in the baggage claim area, is a set of two electronic boards that show a dancing person. ''Sound Refreshment Station'', of which six are located in the departure areas, are sound "showers" that make refreshing sounds when a person is immediately under them. Sidsel Westbø etched the glass walls. In the check-in area, there are small boxes under the floor with glass ceilings that contain curiosities. As well as the custom-made art, several existing sculptures and paintings were bought.<ref>Bredal, 1998: 131–136</ref> At the National Road 35 and European Route E6 junction, [[Vebjørn Sand]] built a {{convert|14|m|adj=on}} statue named the ''Kepler Star''. It consists of two internally illuminated [[Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron]]s, appearing like a giant star in the sky after dark.
