RT315 - TRONDHEIM NORTH MIDDELHAVET

Projected to share a Adriatic-like climate within a century, Trondheim’s Leuthenhaven becomes a laboratory of adaptive architecture. We propose a porous wooden frame that houses a museum today and whatever the city needs tomorrow, wrapped around a Mediterranean garden that remains forever public, shaded, and humane. Subtle climatic tools—planted thresholds, breeze corridors, solar-collecting vaulted canopy—create comfort all year while producing energy and sequestering carbon. More park than monument, the building is a low-emission, dismountable reference for future construction: a living vessel that grows with people, plants, and migrating species. It recasts the architect as steward and the museum as engine, calibrating shade, breeze, and light to host evolving cultures and ecologies.
