Name:Naturum Vänern
Type:Culture/Public
Location:Läckö, Sweden
Year:2008
Proposal, invited competition for ”Naturum Vänern”. This is a museum in a series of museums, commissioned by the Swedish state, that aim to present different nature areas in the varied country of Sweden. In this forest region close to the lake Vänern we propose a building that follows the terrain to the extent that the outline follows the contour lines on the map. This connects the floor level of every space in the building with the ground level. We suggest a use of locally produced/grown building materials. Approaching the building from the south, where the entrance is located, one follows the slightly mysterious façade, with few windows and openings, that undulates behind the trees. The printed pattern on the façade is taken from a fabric in a 17th century painting.
