Under construction. The Museum as Public Infrastructure.

MZ024 - TRONDHEIM UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE MUSEUM AS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

Trondheim does not need a new museum object. It needs a social condenser, a piece of civic infrastructure capable of absorbing the city’s existing cultural, civic and botanical life into a new node and focal point. Under Construction sees the museum not as a symbolic end point, but as an infrastructural beginning, operating on three main scales: the scale of the citizen, the scale of the collections and the scale of the landscape and broader city. The gradual transformation from parking to a museum, a public platform and a garden is
a legible yet open-ended form and system, adaptable over time. It is less a building, more a cultural ecosystem—a place where artistic production, exhibition, debate and public life coexist like a miniature, condensed part of the city itself.
