Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The Cul­tu­ral Cen­ter of Stjør­dal, Nor­way, is an impor­tant node of the com­mu­ni­ty, both local­ly and in the region. The buil­ding is a pla­ce for all peo­ple inte­re­sted in cul­tu­re to explo­re and deve­lop their abi­li­ties and talen­ts. Its faci­li­ties con­si­st of a libra­ry, a youth cen­ter, thea­tre and con­cert halls, cine­mas, and venues for dan­ce, music, media, art and other acti­vi­ties. It also incor­po­ra­tes a com­mu­ni­ty church with spec­ta­cu­lar artwork.

The com­mu­ni­ty church is desi­gned to be an inspi­ring pla­ce that pro­vi­des the visi­tors with expe­rien­ces and oppor­tu­ni­ties and con­tri­bu­ting to a rich cul­tu­ral and archi­tec­tu­ral expe­rien­ce. The wall behind the altar is an impor­tant and signi­fi­cant part of the church spa­ce. The art within this spa­ce ser­ves to visua­li­ze faith, hope and com­mu­ni­ty, and in inte­rac­tion with the archi­tec­tu­re, a com­mon nar­ra­ti­ve is created.

This art­work con­sists of woo­den laths mea­su­ring 4,5 meters, which crea­te a rhy­th­mi­cal pat­tern of columns on the wall. The laths accen­tua­te the ver­ti­cal orien­ta­tion and empha­si­zes the rhy­thm crea­ted by the win­do­ws, which toge­ther crea­te visual har­mo­ny in the spa­ce. The art­work brings colors into the church spa­ce. Whe­re two laths meet, new colors appear throu­gh reflec­tion and blen­ding of colors. They cast colo­red sha­do­ws on the wall and when the sun­light shi­nes on the sla­ts, an inten­se light appears for a few minu­tes, as if the they are lit up from within. Chri­stian sym­bols have been given their pla­ce­ment and color based on sym­bo­lic mea­ning and litur­gi­cal func­tion. The art­work lends itself to a varie­ty of asso­cia­tions and inter­pre­ta­tions and may sym­bo­li­ze cer­tain aspec­ts of Chri­stian liturgy.

The pro­ject is ancho­red in and inspi­red by the histo­ry and cul­tu­re of its loca­tion. At the same time, the archi­tec­tu­re con­veys its modern func­tion and the pul­se of the time and place.
