Stockholm, Sweden
Extension of the National Museum of Science and Technology, housing a visualization dome, a spherical house the place visualization know-how achieves an immersive audiovisual expertise, together with a café and an exhibition corridor. The constructing splices collectively museum features round an unused courtyard, and although the dome perform is tall, the addition is delicate to the vaulted corridor and decrease buildings defining the courtyard right this moment.
Wisdome Stockholm by Elding Oscarson, acquired an 2025 International Architecture Honourable Mention from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
Conventionally, this system would generate a low quantity with a protruding dome, however to make the most of the distinctive dome to create a powerful inside house in addition to a telling exterior type, the dome is given a focal place underneath a free type timber construction. The roof mediates between the tall dome and the low facades of the one-story constructing, spanning 26x48m throughout the dome.
This generates an amazing inside house, whereas the oddly vaulted exterior communicates a novel perform. The gridshell construction is constructed from flat commonplace LVL panels. This has by no means been carried out earlier than and has required nice dedication from everybody concerned. Architecturally and technologically materials properties, and the potential of timber development, is explored. Sustainable development ought to embrace experimental initiatives, whose advantages are properly into the long run and are maybe extra geared in the direction of innovation, than extra acutely relevant timber options. In all technological leaps, analysis that pushes boundaries have been pivotal.
This is going on at The National Museum of Science and Technology.
