3XN just shared with us their winning entry for the Randers Museum of Art, a “sculpture sitting in a sculpture garden” according to the architects, a sinuous building both open to both the town and the landscape. The red-tile façade of the exterior becomes the roof, and similarly on the inside, the floor becomes a wall, and then the wall a ceiling.
From the architects:
Randers Museum of Art will be a prominent new landmark at the entrance to the town of Randers and alongside the Guden River. At a size of 7.550 m2, the Museum will house three exhibition galleries, an auditorium, café, boutique and a range of administrative facilities. The main exhibition gallery will house the Museum’s considerable collection of Danish art – directly connected to the landscape depicted in so many of its works. The temporary exhibition space balances the national emphasis with its international potential; and a connecting transition between the galleries will be the Dalsgaard zone, named for Danish surrealist painter Sven Dalsgaard – of whom the Museum carries one of the world’s most significant collections.
The competition included 5 teams: 3XN, Zaha Hadid, Behnish Arkitekten, CoopHimme(l)blau and entasis a/s.

Interesting how the facade and roof is integrated in one piece. Not sure how they will put tiles on an horizontal surface and keep it watertight.
twist it baby!
looks very interesting, would be great to get some drawings please
I think the roof should be white, as it was in a model.But this project is also a good architecture.
DRAWINGS PLEASE!!!!..
really nice, actually the roof its quite similar to a project im doing for my master´s degree thesis. i love the form of the prject, thumbs up.
It looks like works of UNstudio 10 years ago.
this is cool ! big up to all danish designers. by the way arch daily is so great guys. thanks for that. best architecture website on the internet right now !!!!
Looks like some former students/interns at UNstudio now have entered the worksphere of 3XN… Or is it simply a new sports centre for Randers FC?
