New Arts Center by Henning Larsen Architect, Bergen, Norway
Henning Larsen has just won an international competition to design the New Arts Center in Bergen, Norway. Envisioned as a 17,500 sqm music and conference hall, it will house a theater, an orchestra pit, exhibition venue, café, rehearsal spaces, and an outdoor square. This addition to the existing Grieg Hall, designed by Danish architect Knud Muk, aims to become a cultural landmark that will enhance the city's artistic essence by integrating the heritage of the preexisting structure.
