The Twist, a museum-cum-bridge in Norway designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group<\/a> (BIG) is set to open on September 18. Spanning 60 m (197 ft) above the Randselva River, the 1800-m2<\/sup> (19,375 sf) building connects the north and south side of Kistefos<\/a>, a 270,000 m2<\/sup> (2.9 million sf) sculpture park and industrial museum.<\/p>\n

The Kistefos property has three intertwining landscapes\u2014the natural landscape of rivers, waterfalls, islands, canyons, and forests; an industrial landscape of mills, factories, warehouses, power plants, dams, and bridges; and finally a sculptural landscape of abstract objects.<\/p>\n

BIG approached the design for a new museum as an opportunity to create a masterplan for these three landscapes, and organized the entire sculpture park as an outdoor museum.<\/p>\n

Rather than building on the proposed site close to an old mill, BIG moved the location for the new museum down the river to preserve the mill\u2019s historical setting.<\/p>\n

On this site, BIG proposed a raw and simple form to respond to the challenges of the landscape\u2014a building, sculpture, and bridge, all in one. The bridge connects the property to create a series of landscape galleries. The continuous path that is formed will enable access to each of the outdoor galleries and provide new vistas of the riverbank and the historic mill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
