Om emnet
The studio is a collaboration with Haugar Art Museum in Tønsberg to develop proposals for a new addition to the museum, and to strengthen its position as an art institution in Tønsberg and Norway. The museum is situated on a hill in the historical center of Tønsberg and located in a prized building by Bjercke & Eliassen from 1921. Based on an analysis of the museum building, park and surrounding urban context, the studio will develop proposals for expanding the museum’s public facilities through a physical extension to the existing building, and through spatial strategies for strengthening the museum’s position in the city.
The studio explores the transformation of historical buildings through architectural extensions, and discusses how urban architecture, in the form of an art institution in a mid-sized Norwegian town, can be a catalyst for urban development and integration.
