Photos Released of Snøhetta's Recently Completed MAX IV Laboratory Landscape

Snøhetta has released new images of their MAX IV Laboratory Landscape Design as it opens in Lund, Sweden. Winning the commission for the project in 2011, Snøhetta’s design transformed 47-acres (19 hectares) of formerly agricultural lands northeast of the city into an undulating earthwork aimed at “creating a functional landscape solution for the high-performance synchrotron radiation laboratory MAX IV.”

The landscape design was conceived based on a set of strict parameters determined by the performance requirements for the facility’s various laboratories, including measures such as mitigating vibrations in the ground from a nearby highway, stormwater management, and meeting the ambitious sustainability goals outlined by the city.

The MAX IV laboratory is the first stage of a urban planning project for northeast Lund striving to create a ‘Science City’ for southern Sweden.
