The project
| | COIL has supplied the cladding materials for The Twist that bridges the Randselva river dividing the Kistefos sculpture park in Norway. The bridge also houses a museum.
The Twist, opens as an inhabitable bridge torqued at its center, forming a new journey and art piece within the Kistefos Sculpture Park in Jevnaker, Norway. |

The design is from the hand of BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group who first revealed the design for The Twist in 2015 after winning a competition held by Sveaas, which invited designs for a new museum for contemporary art that would transform the site into a "must-see cultural destination".
The Twist was chosen for its ambition to reconfigure the site and provide new and unattainable vistas of the river and old paper mill. |
