Info Portal Rebild National Park Proposal / TRANSFORM

© VISMO

TRANSFORM shared with us their proposal for the Info Portal National Park competition. Offering some of the most dramatic and ‘authentic’ landscapes in , the park’s new info portal is placed on the edge of the town and the National Park. The project plays with the existing surrounding landscape, and the new building becomes a part of the National Park rather than a part of the city.

Designed by the Danish architecture offices COBE and TRANSFORM, the new Maritime Museum and Science Center in Porsgrunn, Norway conveys Norway’s transformation from a seafaring nation to a modern society based on knowledge industry. The iconic character of the new Maritime Museum and its attractive location at the river close to the city center makes this new building a natural landmark for the city. Furthermore, the new museum building is the first step towards a big new master plan development for Porsgrunn City Center, also designed by COBE and TRANSFORM. Construction for the building recently began and is expected to be completed in autumn 2012. More image and architects’ description after the break.
