| The Nobel Peace Center in Norway is a restoration project for a space that presents all the Nobel Peace Prize laureates with art and history exhibits. Adjaye Associates redesigned Oslo’s oldest railway station, built in 1872. Platforms became galleries and the exterior became a glowing white Italian aesthetic facing a medieval brick castle. Between the two, they placed a large art sculpture that represents peace.
The starlit sculpture mirrors the building interior, with more interesting lighting. The lobby is deep red, exciting the visitor before they enter the ethereal exhibit space. It opened in 2005. |
