The Whale, Norway
丹麦的 Dorte Mandrup 建筑事务所赢得了挪威观鲸文化中心的国际竞赛,将设计建造一条“鲸鱼”,以作为挪威北部地区的又一个旅游地标。项目旨在用艺术、科学和建筑的手法,向来访的人们介绍这个雄伟的海洋生物。
项目基地位于一个名为Andøya的小岛上,该岛位于北极圈北面300公里的地方。虽然这座小岛只有2600名的常住人口,但其却是世界范围内最佳的一处观鲸胜地。这座全新文化中心的落成,旨在进一步提升挪威北部区域的吸引力,试图将其打造为一处旅游胜地。
300 km North of the Arctic Circle, on the tip of the island Andøya lies Andenes. A small town located amid dramatic landscapes – both above and below the ocean’s surface. Just a few sea miles from shore a deep-sea valley unfolds. It is frequently visited by migrating whales, making Andenes one of the best places in the world to see this fabled animal up-close. The new Arctic attraction, The Whale, tells the story of the big inhabitants of this underwater world, rising as a soft hill on the rocky shore – as if a giant had lifted a thin layer of the crust of the earth and created a cavity underneath.

The building rises as a soft hill on the rocky shore – as if a giant had lifted a thin layer of the crust of the earth and created a cavity underneath.

A single curved concrete shell makes up the roof of The Whale. This parabolic form effectively transmits the forces to three support points in the corners of the building, creating a large, inner column-free room.
