Munch/Stenersen
Munch/Stenersen is an upcoming building in Bjørvika, Oslo scheduled for completion in the year of the Munch jubilee in 2013. The building is designed by Juan Herreros (Abalos & Herreros). There has been a lot of conflict around the building. Some claim that it may become too high (14 floors). The building will be the second nearest building of the Oslo Opera together with the upcoming Deichman Library complexes. The building is called "Lambda" by the architect/designer. The building will be 46 meters high.

Munch is a Norwegian surname, meaning "monk". It may also sometimes be a variant of the German surname Münch, meaning the same. Notable people with this surname include the following:
Münch (motorcycles)
Münch was a German motorcycle manufacturer which, during the 1960s, produced the Mammoth, a four-cylinder motorcycle using an NSU car engine.
Hugo Wilson wrote of the founder Friedl Münch:
Limited production began in 1966. The 'Mammoth' name was later dropped due to copyright reasons.
Early history
Friedl Münch began his career as a mechanic and engine tuner in the late 1940s, working especially with Horex motorcycles. The Horex factory noted the success of his home-tuned racers, and offered Münch a job in their competition department.
When Horex ceased motorcycle manufacture in 1956, Friedl Münch purchased the remaining stocks of motorcycles and spares, and sold his own race-tuned Horex cafe racers from his workshop in Altenstadt, Germany.
Early Mammoths
Machines were hand-built to order from Münch's workshop in Nieder-Florstadt, Friedberg, West Germany.
Friedl Münch was given a commission to build in 1966 a special for Jean Murit, a famous French former sidecar road-racer, who was then-President of the BMW Club of France and organiser of the Chamois Rally, a summertime motorcyclists' gathering at high altitude in the Alps.
