Maritime Science Center
Randaberg

Our proposal for a new maritime science center in Randaberg is a minimalist structure set in the dramatic Jæren landscape. Its base is a subsea world narrating stories of technological advances in maritime industries, over it lighthouse level for conference and meeting functions, café and learning center, and in suspension in the air a r droplet shaped balloon. The organizing element foboth levels is the interactive pool, a theatre of learning and insight into the future of oceanic adventures.
