Nydalen
station consists of a detached entrance pavilion on street level, while
the 110-meter long platform area itself lies 12 meters underground.
The
pavilion's architecture is expressed through a composition of
horizontal and vertical levels and planes, which are dynamically cast
off in relation to each other.
The
closely built wall planes are made of black basalt contrasting and
complementing a cast-off glass box in red, symbolizing the red metro
wagons. This stands as a signal for the station and allows a glimpse of
the escalators ascending from the tunnel.
Installed around the escalator are 1800 neon lights and 44 loudspeakers. This "Tunnel
of Light" is a work of art where light, music, technology and architecture become an integral and unified whole.
Nydalen Metro Station recieved The Norwegian Lighting Award in 2005.
The "Tunnel of Light"
The "Tunnel
of Light" is a work of art where light, music, technology
and architecture are shaped as an integral and unified whole, and
which with the assistance from sensors also dynamically interacts
with the public using the escalator.
The creation is a theme around different experiences of travel: travel
in time and travel in place. Each season has its sounds and lights,
each place has its own sound and there are sound and light moods for
alle the phases of life.The idea for the project was conceived by
Kristin Jarmund and she was also architecturally responsible for Nydalen
station and the glass-enclosed escalator itself.
The colored light system which is integrated in the walls is specially
developed for the "Tunnel of Light" project by Per Åge
Lyså of Intravision
system as and the software was developed by Yngve Sandboe. The
software both controls and composes the light and sound moods together.
The music, composed by Bjarne Kvinnsland, is mainly based on a sampling
of original sound recordings. In this project Kvinnsland has also
cooperated with the author Beate Grimsrud, and one can hear Grimsrud
read her own texts, which Kvinnsland has further adapted and integrated
into the musical expression.
