The Twist Museum | by BIG

A stunning architectural marvel in Norway, The Twist by BIG spans the Randselva River as both a bridge and an art museum. Located in Kistefos Sculpture Park, it twists 90° at its center, creating a dynamic exhibition space that seamlessly connects two forested riverbanks.

With 1,000m² of exhibition space, it doubles Kistefos’ indoor gallery area while showcasing works by artists like Anish Kapoor, Yayoi Kusama, and Olafur Eliasson. Clad in 40cm aluminum panels, its unique form resembles stacked books in motion.

A true blend of nature, infrastructure, and contemporary art!

What if public spaces felt like stepping into a dream?

🍄 Mushroom Garden in Kent is a whimsical landscape where mushrooms take over — becoming lamps, shelters, play features, and gathering spots.

Set beside the river, this playful garden also blends commercial elements like ice cream trucks and vendors, making it not just a park, but an experience.

The Jinling Art Museum by AZL Architects, completed in 2024, fuses tradition with modernity in the Jiangnan Jiuxu development, Nanjing. Its striking diamond-shaped form and ceramic brick facade echo the ancient walls of the city, reflecting both its history and transformation. Community spaces like the exhibition hall and library emphasize the museum's role in Nanjing’s cultural landscape. AZL Architects, invited in 2023, designed this museum under the theme “The Renaissance of Jinling under the Sycamore Tree,” blending traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques. Nanjing's 3,100-year legacy shines through this symbolic structure.
