内部では、博物館の中心的なテーマが建築に反映され、紙を作るために使用される木材で作られた構造物が表面を覆っています。

「Bit社とのコラボレーションにより、私たちは、1枚の紙を敷地と既存の建物に覆いかぶせるというシンプルなコンセプトを考案しました。このようにして、新旧がひとつの屋根の下でつながっています。ホワイエと集会スペースでは、古い構造が新しい構造の中に明確に感じられます。紙からインスピレーションを得て、木で作り上げた統一感のある空間です」─ デヴィッド・ザール、BIG – ビャルケ・インゲルス・グループ パートナー

ペーパーアートミュージアムは、さまざまな公共活動のためのスペースを提供します。その地域に自生する植物や樹木が植えられた曲がりくねった小道は、人々を周囲の探索へと誘い、来館者を美術館へと引き込むような、親しみやすい公共の場を作り出すでしょう。

BIG TRANSFORMS FORMER SUPERMARKET BUILDING INTO A NEW MUSEUM FOR PAPER ART IN DENMARK

BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group is set to transform a former supermarket building into the new Museum for Paper Art in the North Jutland region of Denmark. With paper art deeply rooted in the Danish cultural heritage, including the iconic folded lampshades by Le Klint and H.C. Andersen’s paper clips, the conversion and extension of the building intends to double the museum’s annual number of visitors as well as embrace paper as an art form and expertise.

The Museum for Paper Art, founded by psaligrapher Bit Vejle in 2018, is the only specialised museum for paper fine crafts and design in the Nordics. The approximately 900 m2 former supermarket building will be renovated and expanded by BIG to create a 2300 m2 museum with space for workshops, events, teaching rooms, storage, and office facilities. The adaptive reuse project is pursuing DGNB Gold or Platinum certification.

“Paper art is deeply embedded in our cultural heritage, showcased through Denmark’s paper art tradition with iconic designs such as Le Klint’s folding lamps and H.C. Andersen’s paper clips. Carrying this legacy into the future is something that this museum has at its heart. We are also proud of recycling an existing building.” – Karen Bit Vejle, Artist and Director at the Museum for Paper Art

The Museum for Paper Art is conceived as a new lightweight roof structure. Like a single sheet of paper, the roof lands on the existing building and creates space for the new functions around it – uniting the new and old under one roof. The existing building walls will get a new acoustic-regulating layer of paper art on the exterior, inspired by origami and designed in collaboration with several paper artists.

“Paper art is about creating three-dimensional shapes and complex images from a monochromatic two-dimensional material – a sheet of paper. By treating the roof surface as such – a single sheet of folded paper – existing and new functions are brought together in one unifying gesture. The expressive is accentuated by the clear, complexity arises from simplicity. And an obsolete supermarket finds new life under the floating curved roof.” – Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group

Inside, the focal point of the museum is reflected in the architecture as surfaces are draped with a timber construction made from the wood that is used to make paper.

“In collaboration with Bit, we have designed a simple concept that allows a single sheet of paper to drape over the site and the existing building. In this way, the old and new are connected under one roof. In the foyer and assembly space, the old structure is clearly felt within the new one – a unified space inspired by paper and crafted in wood.” – David Zahle, Partner, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group

The Museum for Paper Art will offer spaces for a variety of public activities. A meandering path with plants and trees native to the area will invite the public to explore the surroundings and create a welcoming public realm to pull the visitors into the museum.
