BIG/BJARKE INGELS GROUP THE TWIST

摘要

Traversing the winding Randselva river, BIG's first project in Norway, The Twist, opens as an inhabitable bridge torqued at its center, forming a new journey and art piece within the Kistefos Sculpture Park in Jevnaker, Norway. Kistefos' new 1,000 square meters contemporary art institution doubles as infrastructure to connect two forested riverbanks, completing the cultural route through northern Europe's largest sculpture park. Built around a historical pulp mill, The Twist is conceived as a beam warped 90 degrees near the middle to create a sculptural form as it spans the Randselva. Visitors roaming the park's site-specific works by international artists such as Anish Kapoor, Olafur Eliasson, Lynda Benglis, Yayoi Kusama, Jeppe Hein and Fernando Botero, among others, cross The Twist to complete the art tour As a second bridge and natural extension to the park, the new museum transforms the visitor experience while doubling Kistefos' indoor exhibition space.
