A collection like this deserves – and needs – a unique building. We have high
expectations of this building. It must be suitable as an art arena, with exhibition
areas that communicate and highlight the unique qualities of the art collection.
And our expectations don’t stop there. The building that will house the collection
should also enhance the area and the city as a whole. The old prize-winning,
Kristiansand’s vision is to double the number of people living in the city centre.
The Kanalbyen area, beside the old Silo Quay, will house many new city residents.

BACKGROUND
Nicolai Tangen has collected 20th century art for many years. The collection, which
comprises 1,100 works, is believed to be the biggest, widest, deepest and most important
collection of Norwegian art from the 1930s to the 1970s in private ownership.
PURPOSE OF THE COMPETITION
GENERAL LEVEL – VISION
To develop a planning concept for the area that creates an attractive link between
Kvadraturen and Kanalbyen.
Nicolai Tangen has set up a foundation, to which he is transferring ownership of certain
parts of the collection.The foundation will then bring the collection to Kristiansand, on

condition that the city will provide suitable premises for it.
importance
The idea of using the heritage silo at Odderøya as a basis for a new joint art museum
for the Tangen Collection and Sørlandets Kunstmuseum (SKMU) was proposed by the
city’s political leaders in autumn 2015.The idea was to bring together SKMU, the Tangen
Collection, the Cultural School and a drama centre for young people in the same area
as Kilden, the city’s performing arts centre.
Silo Quay is a major urban development area on the island of Odderøya, adjacent to the
Kvadraturen city centre area of Kristiansand.The area is being developed by Kanalbyen
Eiendom AS, which is owned by the Port of Kristiansand and JB Ugland Eiendom.
Kanalbyen will be developed with 700 apartments and business premises over the course
of 12–15 years. Parts of this area fall within the competition area.According to the plan,
there is an important urban space between Kilden and the silo, and one of the aims of
this competition is to identify the potential of this area in terms of planning concept,
building volumes and options for functions that can be incorporated.
To this end, SKMU, Kanalbyen Eiendom AS and Kristiansand municipality are inviting
architects to participate in an open, international planning and design competition
(architectural competition).The competition is being run in accordance with the
regulations in the Norwegian Public Procurement Act of 16 July 1999, including the
relevant amendments, and the rules of this competition programme.
The competition will take place in two stages, of which Stage 1 is an open competition
OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPETITION
The aim of the competitive process is to come up with a design that:
• addresses the need for a complete and functional museum complex in a way
that is architecturally successful in its use of and interplay with all or parts
of the heritage silo.
• satisfactorily addresses the issue of how much of the silo should be preserved.
• responds to the town planning challenges and shows the development potential
of the area between the Kilden Performing Arts Centre and Kanalbyen.
• creates an integrated area, with urban qualities.
• creates good access to the area both in front of and behind the Kilden Performing
Arts Centre.
• shows how the functions can be developed over time.
• takes the local climate into account (cf. wind studies).
• provides for activities from morning to evening.
• creates safe areas between Kvadraturen and Kanalbyen.
• brings the seafront and canal side to life.
• uses future-oriented systems to limit greenhouse gas emissions,
energy consumption and the environmental impact.
at a general level.The aim of Stage 1 is to identify options for using all or parts of the
heritage silo as part of a museum building. The response should also illustrate the
development potential of the entire competition area, where the town planning concept
will be central.Important factors here will be to illustrate options for attractive urban
spaces and the link between Kvadraturen and Kanalbyen. The jury will select 3–5
designs to progress to Stage 2.
Stage 2 is a restricted competition, which will focus on developing and refining the design
of the museum building and any other features or functions which the client would like
to be further studied.A separate programme will be prepared for Stage 2.
The competition programme has been prepared jointly by SKMU, Kanalbyen Eiendom
AS and Kristiansand municipality, with the assistance of the National Association of
Norwegian Architects (NAL).

area on the old Silo Quay, which has been given the name Kanalbyen. A central element
in the competition area is a heritage grain silo, parts of which date from 1935.

HISTORY
CULTURAL AXIS
In 1804, a quarantine station was built on Odderøya to serve Denmark, Norway and
Holstein. The property was transferred from the fortress department to the quarantine
department. The quarantine station on Odderøya was the largest in Northern Europe,

Odderøya has been closed to the public at times due to military activity. However, when
the area has been open, the island has been a popular area for walks and excursions.
Odderøya was last opened to the public on 23 June 1992 after Odderøya fort was closed
down. Odderøya was taken over by Kristiansand municipality, and large parts of the
island are outdoor recreation areas that are open to the public.

are described in detail
by the Cultural Heritage
Management Office in a
separate memorandum
(Appendix 3).

The grain silo on Odderøya was built in 1935 and at that time consisted of 3x5 cylindrical
cells, a six-storey warehouse building at the front, facing the sea, and a stair/lift tower
with a gently sloping pitched roof that is one storey higher than the silos. In 1939, the
silos were extended to 3x10 cylindrical cells, and in 1953 the warehouse section was
extended to match the width of the silos behind it. Subsequent extensions and alterations
were made, the largest of these being the 1985 annex built in front of the stair/lift tower
to the north, and three tanks on the south side of the silo section (later demolished).
The first stage of the building was designed by the architectural firm Aasland & Korsmo,
with the company A/S Høyer-Ellefsen acting as the technical building consultant. The
architectural firm closed in 1936, which meant that A/S Høyer-Ellefsen was responsible
for extending the silo in 1939, with the company A/S Betongbygg producing the drawings
for the warehouse extension. These additions were built to the same design as the original
sections designed by the architects Aasland & Korsmo. The grain silo as it stood in 1953
thus forms the complete, finished building complex.
The complex was presented in the journal ‘Byggekunst’ in 1937, and the architectural
firm was awarded the prestigious A.C. Houens Fund’s certificate in 1939. The certificate

CRITERIA FOR RE-USE

HERITAGE VALUE
It can safely be said that it is the building complex’s architectural and historic value,
representing the architectural style of industrial functionalism and innovative building
techniques, that must be considered to be the most important factor in any consideration
of the complex’s heritage value, and that must be the starting point for its future use. The
Giving the grain silo a new purpose must be regarded as an extremely positive move,
and an opportunity to safeguard parts or all of the complex. The 1985 extension on the
north side should be demolished. The complex has a pure, clear and simple expression,
and a structure that must be further refined, but for the same reasons, it is also a robust
industrial complex that is able to tolerate changes and additions. The crane that still
stands in front of the silo should be preserved.
building type was a modernist icon, and was praised by some of the founder members
of functionalism, including Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier.
Complex as it is today
The grain silo on Odderøya was among the first in the country to be built as cylindrical
cells in reinforced concrete, using the slip forming technique. This technique was fast,
strong and economical, and its use continued when Norway began to build oil platforms
in concrete.
Slip forming technique
The grain silo was also listed as a heritage object in the Silo Quay zoning plan (2010
no 1082). It can also be said that it is the original building complex from 1935, with
the 1939 silo section extension and the 1953 warehouse extension, in other words the
complete silo complex with 3x10 silos, which is of architectural interest and should
be preserved. Structurally, the complex consists of three sections: the silos, the stair/
lift tower with pitched roof and the warehouse section. Later additions, such as the
annex on the north wall of the stair/lift tower, must be removed in order to display the
original architecture in its intended pure form.
If the competition participants feel that the current complex is too big and that it is
too unrealistic to retain all of it, it will be possible to propose retaining only parts of
it. The 1935 exterior of the complex is considered to have the greatest heritage value

KANALBYEN
The area south of Kilden – Silo Quay – is to be transformed into an area with
housing (about 700 units) and businesses. Most of the business premises
are clustered within the competition area, with additional business
premises ofminimum 1,000 m2 connected to the housing units (business,
café, service unit), and these areas are adjacent to public outdoor areas.
Kanalbyen’s architect, A-lab, writes in the planning description:
Kanalbyen’s architectural concept links three attractions that bring value
to the area: Odderøya, the harbour area and the inner canal area. The canal
area will be the city district’s inner water feature, with a reinterpretation of
the historic quayside integrated into the project to bring historic depth and
create new experience value for users of the area.
For a more detailed description, please refer to the attached planning
description and http://www.kanalbyen.no
As well as the art museum and cultural school, Kanalbyen Eiendom AS
would also like competition participants to shed light on the possibility of
also integrating other functions in the competition area. One important
task is to add quality to the parts of the area that are not directly adjacent
to the sea or canal.
PROGRAMME
A detailed programme has not been prepared for functions other than
the art museum and cultural school, but Kanalbyen Eiendom AS would

KILDEN
The Kilden Performing Arts Centre was officially opened in 2012. It has won recognition
and awards for its architecture, acoustics and construction technique. Kilden is also
unique in Norway as an organisation: In 2011, the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra,
Agder Regional Theatre and Opera Sør companies merged to form a single organisation
that efficiently shares resources and creates new performing art in the interface between
independent artistic departments. Audiences have embraced Kilden, both as a building
and as an artistic powerhouse in Southern Norway.
The architectural competition for a new performing arts centre for Southern Norway
was announced in 2004 and 95 participants from all over the world submitted designs.
On 14 February 2005, the winning design, drawn by the Finnish firm ALA Architects,
was adopted as the basis for the construction project.
The building’s most important expression is the architectural meeting between
artists and audience. The varied shapes of the auditoriums are clad in an undulating
timber façade. The imposing, abstract façade, clad in local oak, separates reality from
imagination. As they pass through it, the audience will move from the natural landscape
into the realm of art. This façade expresses not only the diversity of artistic performances
in the building, but also the power unleashed by the combination.
