This amazing architectural and photographic project was created for the Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion in Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park. The design was created by Snøhetta, an interior and exterior architecture firm with headquarters in Oslo, Norway.
The building design is based on a contrast between ideas - a rigid outer shell and a soft, organic inner core. The wooden core is shaped like rock or ice that has been eroded by natural forces like wind and running water, and is placed within a rectangular frame of raw steel and glass.
