Contemporary Art Museum Proposition

La solución parte de dos ideas rectoras del diseño, la primera es una exploración de la fuerza formal, expresiva y de repetición del muro, entendidos como un ritmo constante que crea y define el espacio -la musicalidad de la arquitectura-. A los muros se les sustrae una serie de arcos que rememoran el carácter histórico de muros y arcos como una armonía material. La segunda idea abarca y da definición al recinto que comprende el museo al incorporarlo al paisaje circundante mediante una piel que se adapta a la topografía existente, creando de esta manera un loop de recorrido continuo entre el exterior y el interior del museo.


The solution is based on two guiding ideas of design, the first is an exploration of the formal, expressive and repetitive force of the wall, understood as a constant rhythm that creates and defines the space -the musicality of architecture-. A series of arches that recall the historical character of walls and arches as a material harmony are removed from the walls. The second idea encompasses and defines the enclosure that includes the museum by incorporating it into the surrounding landscape through a skin that adapts to the existing topography, thus creating a loop of continuous travel between the exterior and the interior of the museum.
