English text (scroll down for Norwegian):
The Norwegian Mountaineering Center is anchored in an innovative interpretation of nature’s fantastic dimensions and the dramatic experience of mountaineering.
The design of the building is based on its function as a mountaineering center and gathering place for both locals and visitors.
This provides the structure with a characteristic volume communicating its contents with exciting and unique geometrical expression.
Its outer skin is clad in a uniform surface, highlighting its originality and situation next to the train tracks of Raumabanen and the station area in the Åndalsnes town center.
Norwegian text:
Norsk Tindesenter er forankret i en innovativ tolkning av naturens fantastiske dimensjoner og fjellsportens dramatikk.
Prosjektet tar utgangspunkt i husets funksjon som klatresenter og møtested for lokale og besøkende.
Dette gir bygningsvolumet en særegen karakter som formidler det spesielle innholdet med et spennende og unikt uttrykk, og senteret får dermed en bygningskropp med ekspressiv geometri.
En utenpåliggende hud gjør at husets gestalt blir enhetlig med stor originalitet og står frem i situasjonen ved Raumabanen og Skysstasjonen i sentrum av Åndalsnes.
