Case Study: Hedmark Museum



The Hedmark Museum is a study of dichotomies: the new and the old, permanence and impermanence, light and shadow. It explores the convergence of past, present, and future within a single building. The study focuses on the southern portion, which houses the medieval ruins, also known as the Bishop’s Palace. Many of the original elements are preserved and the interventions to the site are minimal. The heart of the museum is the elevated bridge that is not only functional in preserving the historic site below but is also symbolic in bridging different dichotomies.
