The Kunstsilo art gallery in southern Norway is located in a converted 1930s grain silo and was designed by Barcelona's Mestres WÃ¥ge Arquitectes, BAX, and Mendoza Partida.
The aim for Kunstsilo was to preserve and celebrate the architecture of the former grain store, completed by Norwegian functionalist architects Arne Korsmo and Sverre Aasland in 1935.
Commenters praised the conversion, labelling it "an intelligent and quite positive re-use of an industrial structure," while another remarked, "Love a good adaptive reuse project." Saudi Arabia authorised "lethal force" for Neom land clearance reports BBC
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section include a report by the BBC that Saudi Arabia has authorised "lethal force" for Neom land clearances, a house in Dulwich extended by local studio Proctor & Shaw and a shell-like brick pavilion in China by architecture practice HCCH Studio.
