(2023-08-01) Bloomberg: The Norwegian [architectural uprising] is led by psychologist Saher Sourori and marketing professional Erik Holm; among its moderators is the Norwegian technologist Håkon Wium Lie, known as the inventor of CSS. He makes time for his Uprising duties amidst a range of other pursuits, including apple farming and pipe-organ building. Part of his work entails sifting through the Facebook group’s backlog, which, he said, is overwhelmed with photos by frustrated members looking to vent about buildings in their neighborhoods. “It would be very depressing if we just put up all those pictures of ugly buildings, so we also show beautiful new buildings that respectfully integrate with their surroundings,” Lie says.
