A Tectonic Puzzle in Kistefos Sculpture Park: The Twist by BIG

The Twist by BIG is slated to open in Norway’s Kistefos Sculpture Park with a hybrid typology comprising museum, bridge and sculpture. Described by Bjarke Ingels as a “tectonic puzzle”, the structure as bridge connects the lower, forested south bank with the northern slope in a centralized 90-degree turn.

As a museum the turn serves, along with its bridge function, as a link between the open northern gallery, which features a panoramic view over the Randselva river, and the shaded gallery with artificial lighting on the south side. At the same time a third, sculptural interstitial space arises around the Twist’s own axis - a warped White Cube where ceiling, walls and floor seem to come together centrifugally. From the south entrance, visitors cross a 16-metre long, aluminum-coated steel bridge to access the interior of the museum, while the north entrance is connected to a pedestrian bridge.

Giving a nod to mathematics’ Fibonacci Sequence, the museum’s geometry consists of aluminum plates measuring 40 cm in width. In the course of the fanning turn movement, the plates shift in phases. The resulting spiral-shaped structure fits into the sculpture landscape of the Kistefos Museum.
