Museums Beyond Walls — Bergkrystallen, Trondheim (NO) @europan_norway #europan Set in Leütenhaven / Midtbyen, this proposal responds to Europan’s call to transform a parking structure / former parking lot into an extroverted art museum — one that doesn’t just contain culture, but actively revitalises the historic centre and helps form a new cultural square in the city. The project brings together Trondheim’s two public art museums (Trondheim Art Museum + Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseum / National Museum of Decorative Arts and Design) into a single, public-facing home — with the space, care conditions, and flexibility needed for exhibitions, outreach, events, workshops, and new audiences. Bergkrystallen riffs on Trondheim’s gabled roofscape and the idea of a “bergkrystal”: lifted gallery “crystals” emerging from a grounded base to shape a new civic arena. A central cultural spine becomes the main circulation route — a continuous public passage that stitches interior + exterior together, aligns with city paths + nearby institutions (including the Trøndelag theatre), and keeps the museum porous, accessible, and in motion. Diagrams in the carousel show: — how the “crystals” rise from the base to form roof + light + volume — how the spine connects multiple access points and builds an all-season public route — how section stacks programmes while keeping the ground plane open + generous (and how the existing parking structure can be adapted / reused) Collab: @kholtsmark x @architag_ x @mccloymuchemwa Images: @haze_viz #Trondheim #Norway #MuseumArchitecture #CulturalInfrastructure #AdaptiveReuse #CarParkToCulture #CivicSpace #PublicRealm #UrbanStrategy #AllSeasonCity #ContemporaryVernacular #TimberArchitecture #ExhibitionDesign #ArchitectureCompetition #ArchitectureVisualisation @archisource @next_top_architects @archbulletin 😊

Museums Beyond Walls — Bergkrystallen, Trondheim (NO). @europan_norway Re-sourcing the former parking garage into a connected cultural space. The massing echoes Trondheim’s gabled roofscape and draws from the idea of a bergkrystal — lifted gallery “crystals” emerging from a grounded base to form a new public arena. A central cultural spine acts as the main circulation route, stitching interior + exterior spaces together and aligning with nearby landmarks and city paths to create continuous flow through the site. Open to the city via multiple access points, flexible gallery loops, and public areas that can host exhibitions, biennales, markets, events, and everyday use.
