Brutalist architect Peter Celsing designed the House of Culture in central Sweden in 1974. It was considered a symbol of modernism's capricious intervention in historic areas, mislaid and destructive. It was intended to be a cultural oasis, but because it ignored the city's history and cultural context it turned out to be "the largest vacuum in the country."
The concrete structure has a theater of steel facades and a front of glazing. Thee parts are joined together. The first is the 1891 Randers Tekniske Skole (Randers Technical School), designed by J. P. Jensen Wærum. The thin floor slabs give the appearance of a stack of shelves in a rectangle.
Torg square is a populous gathering space for the public, where public art can be seen.
