In collaboration with the National Association of Norwegian Architects, the Municipality of Bodø invites proposals to an open ideas competition for the localisation of cultural buildings in Bodø’s city centre. The development will take place in the area by the inner marina in the heart of Bodø’s city centre, and new developments will be built on three available plots.
The ideas competition invites proposals for urban design, and the primary challenges are:
• Localisation of the buildings within the parameters set by the available plots in the area
• Designing building volumes and public urban spaces
The primary functions of the new buildings will be:
• Bodo Nye Kulturhus – concert hall and theatre
• Library with additional functionality
In addition, participants are invited to consider whether a slooping museum can be included in the new development, but proposals are not required to include such a museum.
The results of the ideas competition will form the basis for a political decision concerning the location of the buildings and set the parameters for the subsequent project competition. The project competition will determine the design of the buildings to be realised.
The Municipality of Bodo is looking forward to seeing its new cultural buildings ready for use in 2012.
The Municipality of Bodø is facing the planning and development of 2 central cultural buildings; Bodø Nye Kulturhus and a new library with additional functionality. 3 great plots are available, all of them centrally located in the Nerbyen area. The municipality has decided to carry out the project through two separate, consecutive architecture competitions:
• Open ideas competition will serve as a basis for a decision of localisation and main concepts concerning building volumes and urban spaces
• Limited project competition will take the chosen main concepts from ideas to material project
This document is an invitation to and programme for the open ideas competition.
The ideas competition encompasses the main functions of:
• Bodo Nye Kulturhus (BNK)
• Library with additional functionality
• Rhythmic Centre
• Possible commercial activities
• Quay front and harbour promenade as attractive spaces
