A bridge, showroom, a sculpture in itself, The Twist in Norway’s Kistefos Sculpture Park (open year-round) spans 60 metres across the river. Designed by the Danish Bjarke Ingels Group, it opened in 2019 and hosts three galleries exhibiting high-end international art.
Designed by the Barozzi/Veiga Studio of Barcelona, the 12,000 sqm Szczecin Philharmonic Hall in Poland offers bold lines recalling icebergs, yet complicit with nearby neo-Gothic buildings. Inaugurated in 2014, it hosts several concert halls, magnificent acoustics, and sober interior decor.
