Led by Bjarke Ingels Group, this new exhibition building forms part of the Kistefos art museum and sculpture park in Norway. As an architectural, infrastructural and structural hybrid, The Twist offers a rare modern precedent for the occupied-bridge typology, and proves such infrastructure’s integration into an uneven, bucolic environment. The double-height, column-free gallery space at the northern end torques into a three-storey office block at the south, creating a ‘twisting’ bridge that newly connects the two embankments of differing levels.
