Career[edit]
After working at Thorenfeldt Architects and Telje, Torp & Aasen Architects, Stokke founded the architecture firm Narud Stokke Wiig AS in 1979, together with architects Jørn Narud and Ole Wiig. In 1991, Narud Stokke Wiig Architects and Planners was established with Stokke as the leader. In 2012, the name was changed to Nordic Office of Architecture AS. Under Stokke's leadership, the firm has evolved into a large architecture environment in the Nordic region with activities in Oslo, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik. The firm's projects span across health buildings, housing, commercial buildings, infrastructure, and urban planning.
Gudmund Stokke was president of Association of Norwegian Architects (Norske arkitekters landsforbund) from 2003 to 2006.
Architectural style[edit]
Many of Stokke's projects are developed in close interdisciplinary collaboration with strong engineering and architecture teams. He seeks simplicity and timelessness in both function and architectural expression in all of his projects. The buildings are characterized by a strong influence of Nordic design and nature, and are open, bright, and friendly. In airport terminals, emphasis is placed on expressing local characteristics and providing positive experiences for travelers and those who work there.
