FÆNGSLET Vestsalen Transformation / Cubo Arkitekter

Fængslet (The Prison) - West Hall Project. The vision of the West Hall project at the old state prison from 1853 was not to tear down the walls but to perform a revitalizing 'operation' of the prison with an almost surgical incision, for it to adapt to the demands and needs of the present without putting the past out of play. The prison is a physical historical imprint with great socio-historical and architectural perspectives, and authenticity and relatability in the design have been crucial for the transformation.
