HRTB AS Arkitekter MNAL, 2005, utilizing the original Fokus Cinema roof by Gunnar Bøgeberg Haugen, 1969. Spectacular four-floor public library and archive in the centre of Tromso City, with beautiful scenic views.
The designers retained the Candela shell roof from the previous cinema, removing everything underneath and then infilling. As well as its beautiful shape, the roof appears to have practical benefits as a snow chute! Grønnegt. 94, 9008 Tromsø, Norway.
