Wisdome Stockholm

The extension of the National Museum of Science and Technology features a visualization dome, café, and exhibition hall. The dome, designed for an immersive audiovisual experience, takes center stage under a free-form timber roof, integrating seamlessly with the museum's courtyard. Rather than a typical low structure with a protruding dome, the design places the dome as the focal point, balancing its height with the surrounding lower buildings. The 26x48m timber gridshell roof creates a striking interior and an expressive exterior, showcasing the dome’s unique function. Constructed with flat standard LVL panels, this innovative design explores the potential of timber construction. The project demonstrates the importance of experimental, sustainable architecture that pushes technological boundaries, paving the way for future innovations in timber design.
