Mellom Rommet: Between land and sea
The Norwegian municipality of Randaberg Kommune, and JĂŚrmuseet, the regional museum for the municipalities are holding a global competition for the design of a center devoted to the exhibition and education of the aquatic sciences and a history of water craft. The site is located along the coast of Randaberg, just north of Stavanger, with a protected harbor and in close proximity to the Tungenes lighthouse.
Existing harbor
We began by observing existing site conditions, traditional Norwegian water culture and the relationship between the harbor and the lighthouse. The setting is pastoral, with several vernacular farmhouses situated within a gently sloping site, with the lighthouse placed on its high point. Across this setting there exists a strong axis between the pier of the harbor and the lighthouse. With this observation we found it necessary to construct a building that disappears within the setting and serves to enclose the public realm along the harbor while framing views to the lighthouse. The building is stretched horizontally and remains low in response to adjacent farmhouses, while sheltering from winter and summer winds. Visually the building acts as a bridge between land and sky.
