MUSEUM DESIGN
Initially taking the form of the roof sculpture allowing its geometries to
follow through inside the building to emphasise the link between the
outside and inside, as if the axis is cutting down through the building.
The axis created by the key alignment would inform how the displays take
position and shape, layering against each other almost like a collage of
information, colour and materials.
As the displays develop, they have become more subtle in shape but
emphasise materiality and the relationship between existing and new
materials.
Where the new materials compliment the old, the quality of layering
materials as an extension of the building itself works really well to help
explore the history of the building and the narrative of the building.
The element of wrapping around the building brings the outside in,
emphasising the element of time and weathering. The layering of new and
existing can only enhance the design of the museum.
