Dezeen | Elding Oscarson creates CLT dome theatre inside Swedish museum extension @dezeen | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Architecture studio Elding Oscarson has extended the National Swedish Museum of Technology with Wisdome Stockholm, a timber building topped by a curving roof that bulges over a dome inside.
Made from 277 pieces of triangular cross-laminated timber (CLT), the spherical structure, which the designers refer to as a "visualisation dome", contains tiered seating surrounded by 3D screens.
It sits inside an open-plan rectangular hall with a cafe, which can be used for temporary exhibitions and events.
Elding Oscarson founders Jonas Elding and Johan Oscarson told Dezeen that they developed their design for Wisdome Stockholm to showcase the possibilities of timber construction.
"We wanted the project to show the possibilities with timber, so we aimed for making everything in timber – of course the flooring and interior, but also the exterior," they said.
