Bjarke Ingels Group has been announced as the winner of the competition to design Park City's Kimball Art Center. The city, known for its ski resorts and for hosting the Sundance film festival, will now house the Center in a central intersection, creating an iconic yet contextual building at the city's doorstep.

The building seeks to recreate some of the atributes – scale and materiality – of the former Coalition Building, an iconic landmark of Park City which once stood south of the Kimball site. Simultaneously, the adoption of reclaimed wood in the façade is an homage to a construction technique used by the city's first miner settlers, applied both outside the mines as primary structure for most residential construction.

BIG conceived the new Kimball Art Center as an evolution of this construction technique – a highly-evolved log cabin at an unprecedented scale.
