The Romsdal Folk Museum is an architectonic attraction and a treasured landmark that embodies the history and identity of the entire region. Our intention in this project was to let the structure signal its meaning and function through an architectural expression and the use of local materials. The scale of the building refers to the urbanity and morphology of the town.
The plan geometry is deceptively simple, the characteristic angled shapes are limited to the roof and the external wall, making the circulation and internal organisation clear and flexible. Pine is the primary building material of the museum. Exterior walls and roof are made of solid timber in combination of steel beam when required. Exterior walls and ceilings covered with maintenance-pine relief tempered with bio-based oil.
The Romsdal Folk Museum is a great example of strategic use of low-tech building solutions. It embodies the national policy in Norway to aim for a more sustainable future. The museum is built using Norwegian timber technology and acts as a hub for cultural development. In this building, the people of Molde as well as visitors and tourists are given the opportunity to connect and to build a wider community. Source by Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter.
