1) KRONA Knowledge and Cultural Centre :
 The KRONA Knowledge and Cultural Centre enhances Kongsberg’s cultural institutions and
• . stimulates interaction between diverse communities and disciplines. Comprised of a variety of
functions, KRONA houses new teaching and technical laboratory facilities for Buskerud
University College and Tinius Olsen Technical Vocational College, as well as a technical
university library. The complex also includes a public library, cinemas, municipal offices and a
theatre auditorium. Its functions are organised around a central void with shared functions,
enhancing flexibility and reducing programme redundancy. Using subtle landscape elevations
and strategically locating programme access points, visitors intuitively gravitate towards the
Centre. Throughout the interior spaces, strong visual connections to public functions further
enhance the liveliness of the complex.
 Located in one of Kongsberg’s most recognised locations alongside the oldest university building in Norway,
Mecanoo’s design is sensitive to its historic context. It is shaped by the site conditions and opportunities. In
addition to prefabricated elements, and use of ground source energy, the facility uses locally-sourced
materials. A facade of rough slats references local architecture and contrasts with the interior of wood,
concrete and subtle silver accents that reflect daylight. Facing the park, the building has a balcony for
• outdoor
. performances as well as an amphitheatre formed in the Hasebergtjerndalen park landscape below.
The public and university libraries, located in the heart of the complex, appear to be cut from the building
volume and continue the public space of the church square. The stone floor of the surrounding courtyards is
drawn into the interior, enhancing the material continuity of the public realm.
 The KRONA Knowledge and Cultural Centre is highly flexible: in the evening the university canteen
transforms into a café, the public library serves as a theatre foyer and the art gallery transforms into a
bar for the film centre. The very concept of the building is adaptable in its components and form. Central
to the shared programme is a number of large assembly rooms that accommodate a range of events
including lectures, meetings, performances, receptions and concerts. The auditoria in the heart of the
building are equipped for a variety of different configurations. These entertainment spaces are designed
to be as open and flexible as possible, yet also create a vibrant, social atmosphere, and a connection to
Kongsberg’s historical context.

 Cultural Center and Library ‘De Factorij’ :
• .
 Text description provided by the architects. The original terrain was
an elongated area between backdoors, garden walls and a railway
track. The site was subject to strict building regulations. Developing
• . the site meant a social and cultural injection for the city centre.
 Taking the vibration measurements of the railway into account, the
theatre with 700 seats, was planned at a minimum distance of 60
meters from the tracks. Because of the strict building height as well as
acoustics, the theatre was designed partially underground following
• .
the ‘box within box’ principle.
 In search of the perfect acoustic design, the theatre evolved in to a shell shaped plan, in which a sense of
security is provided. The distinct shape of the theatre is undoubtedly visible in the adjacent areas, such as the
entrance hall, foyer and bistro. The centrally located café provides the link between de cultural facilities and
the new library. In addition to the theatre, the program consists of a multipurpose room with a capacity of
350 people, a ballroom dance hall with a capacity of 150 people, several dressing rooms and offices. The
• .theatre is provided with a fully-equipped stage tower, storage and a mobile orchestra pit for approximately
30 musicians.
 Next to the cultural centre an above ground parking lot was provided for 82 vehicles,
because of insufficient parking space within the immediate vicinity of the site. However, if
necessary an underground parking garage of 2 layers (143 parking spots) can still be
established in the nearby future, as this was taken into account during the design process.
The underground parking garage will have a direct entrance to the cultural centre, as the
• .
multipurpose space is situated at level -1.
