Sasha New e: [email protected] CRYSTAL PALACE SUBWAY MUSEUM This project aims to create a threshold between the past and the present, creating a modern interpretation of James Paxton’s Crystal Palace. Located underground, directly underneath the original sites footprint; the main purpose of the project is to open the abandoned grade II listed subway area to the public again, as well as the relocation and upgrade of the existing museum. Combined with gallery spaces for local artists and commercial areas; the new intervention aims to provide a space for both locals and visitors to enjoy the rich history of the site in a new environment.
