Article source: Kada Wittfeld Architektur A museum for Celtic art, in direct proximity to a historic burial mound. Added Value Similar to an excavated archaeological find, the metal body of the museum juts out from the landscape and forms a counterpart to the burial mound. More of a mysterious object itself rather than architecture, the museum should be stumbled upon by its visitors as a marker of landscape discovery.  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher

Partly inserted into the slope, it projects itself towards the burial mound. Its vital function as an element of the landscape, the museum building amplifies the burial mound’s leading role. Underneath the main volume, one finds the foyer and the café and adjoining rooms as well. Here begins and ends the exploration of the museum’s archaeological trail. A staircase-ramp guides the visitor into the exhibition. In the end, one finds a panoramic window, offering an impressive view of the burial mound, incorporating it into the exhibition itself. The roof acts also as an observation deck onto the scenic landscape and the skies above – so that the surroundings can be “discovered.”  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher typology museum construction volume gfa 2.190 m² cubature 9.500 m³ client federal state of Hessen represented by HMWK realization 2008-2010 competition 1st prize 2006 project manager oliver venghaus partners Club L94  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Image Courtesy Werner Huthmacher  Ground Floor Plan  Section
