4 COPPER ARCHITECTURE FORUM 41/2016
This intriguing copper drum floating above an open stage invigorates the town square of Trondheim, Norway, mutating into an animated light source at night. Its designers HUS arkitekter AS explain the competition-winning scheme. The project was part of a larger plan to renovate and upgrade Torvet, the town square as a whole. Our vision was to create a new, lively space focused on activity rather than form – a space bursting with people and life. The new stage is located in the southwest corner of the square in front of a shopping mall.
