The project begins in the forest, with a culture that was isolated in it for centuries. How can the same forest provide a setting for a museum dedicated to that culture?
The context for the project is given by the architectural competition by Norsk Skogfinsk Museum. My intention has been to design a place for exploration, documentation and understanding of the culture and history of a national minority with a profound connection to the forest.
The new museum is carefully located in-between and around the trees in the forest. The museum acts as a gateway into the landscape, allowing visitors to explore the river, the adjacent open air museum, and further into the deeper forest.
