+ Twisting across the winding Randselva River, the Twist is BIG's first project in Norway—a striking fusion of art and architecture. Described as a 'habitable bridge,' this innovative structure rotates at its center, creating a dynamic, sculptural path through the Kistefos Sculpture Park in Jevnaker. With 1,000 m² of space, the Twist serves as both a contemporary art institution and a vital link between the forested riverbanks, connecting the largest sculpture park in Northern Europe. Housing works by international artists like Anish Kapoor and Yayoi Kusama, this bridge-museum transforms the visitor experience, doubling the exhibition space while offering a unique artistic journey.
