Transformer is an urban development project where small, marginal areas and openings in the urban landscape are used as temporary art arenas for children and youngsters. The project was initiated by gallery R-O-M for Art and Architecture, artist Vigdis Storsveen and Rintala Eggertsson Arkitekter in 2011. The stage pavilion was built in a workshop with interior- and furniture design students from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2012.
