Stiftelsen Arkivet “The Archive”
The Archive is a national center for human rights and historical reflection, where the existing building
and the new build is resolved within the idea of dialogue and social interaction. The starting point for
the project is the existing building, which form the basis for the center with its clear and rudimentary
shapes, materials and construction. The circulation and accessability are prominent in the structuring
of the center. Varying visual room sequences are created with basis in the structure from the existing
with connection towards the landscape, the site, as well as the building interior. The interconnection
between the existing and the new build creates a dialogue between the two unities, which appear as
one single entity.
