AC292 - TRONDHEIM SAMSPILL

Samspill, the new museum for Trondheim, not only re-uses the existing parking structure as the base for the new building, but also re-sources the broad cultural network already existing in Midtbyen and in the whole city. Its porous ground floor breaks barriers with entrances on all sides, leading into a public program of café, store, auditorium, multipurpose space, and a full-height atrium that acts as an urban living room. Below, parts of the former parking are transformed: a hypostyle hall becomes a sculptural gallery, while a music venue activates the site with night events, extending the museum’s presence beyond daytime. Exhibition galleries follow a generic grid but meet specific conditions—varying in size, light, and views—balancing curatorial flexibility with spatial richness.
