ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two cases of the planning of buildings with high environmental ambitions in Norway, providing them with ample space to unfold. It summarize how these two cases relate to qualculative and non-qualculative planning styles. The conversation between Michel Callon and John Law offers a very different account of the other of qualculation another that is deeply connected to qualculation itself: So qualculative and nonqualculative spaces are opposites, other to each other. In fact, when Callon and Law present examples of spaces of non-qualculation, the focus is on reinstating these spaces as more than just an absence but rather as spaces that are created actively, sometimes requiring much effort. The chapter presents empirical cases, the planning of two buildings/neighbourhoods with high environmental ambitions in Norway one with the explicit goal to become zero emission and one that formulated its goals at least partly in opposition to this.
