Boxen

Competition

A key element in a series of ongoing transformations at the museum, Boxen is a platform for fast-changing, experimental exhibitions.

Boxen provides space for alternative voices to inspire discussions about architecture, design, and their relationship to society.

Dehlin Brattgård Arkitekter— one of Sweden’s most exciting emerging practices—have designed a structure that, through its architecture, creates a transformative experience both inside and around it. Steel, birch plywood, and wire mesh combine to create two distinct exhibitable environments: an interior white-box and a circulatory ramp, encouraging multiple views and perspectives between both visitors and the ideas on display. Boxen’s bold graphic design has been created by Studio Reko.

Competition

In the final months of 2017 ArkDes held an anonymous invited competition (parallel assessment) to find proposals for a new studio gallery to inhabit one of the museum’s two large exhibition halls.

The invited offices represent a new wave of young, innovative architectural offices with a pronounced international profile. Christin Svensson Architecture and Krupinski Krupinska Arkitekter competed against Dehlin Brattgård Arkitekter, who won the competition with their proposal A Room With a View.

The jury comprised Pye Aurell Ehrström (Marge Architects), Kieran Long (Director of ArkDes), and Sandra Nolgren (Head of Communications, ArkDes). They described “the industrial character of the proposal” as a unique new element in the 19th Century Exercise Hall, “revolving around ArkDes’ new focus as an arena in which a more traditional discussion of architecture and design can interact with new fields.”
