Jøssingfjord museum competition

Proposal for museum of cultural heritage in Jøssingfjord, Norway 2011. The site is located in a valley of nearly vertical mountains and the aim of the design was to emphasize this unique landscape. Large windows are directed towards selected views, creating a framed image of the immense rocks which are present in all parts of the building. The plan drawing is a rigid grid, from which the windows are extruded and twisted, resulting in a contrast between straight and organic shapes.
