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.
