Deposit of Archaeological Museum in Soissons, France by K Architectures (designed using ArchiCAD)

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Article source: K Architectures

Using a rusted metal-clad skin the Parisian architects K Architectures have made a formally bold, yet humble building that will evolve and weather with time, an object adaptive to its surroundings. The new archaeological museum in Soissons, France, pays homage to its heritage but is assertive in its place as a contemporary public building.” Architizer, may 2011

Ordos T.C.A.O. Museum in Inner Mongolia, China by ///byn

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Article source: ///byn

Chinese calligraphy is mainly based in three characteristics: status of mind, line & color. These tree concepts triggered our original ideas for the Ordos Museum

The inhabiting/space populating logic in Inner Mongolia is grouping. Local herds of camels & horses used to browse the steppe in search for comfort. This comfort was only fulfilled when they would arrive to a DECISSION to settle in the landscape. In the same manner, the always present clouds populate the Inner Mongolian sky: groups of rounded & cotton locking clouds spread at the intense blue sky. Finally, also the original nomads will settle their yurts following a constellation. An primary impression of non-organization is quickly overcome by a self-organized logic. Here, the museum volumes have found their own space in the park. The logics of placement come from many different aspects: orientation, functionality, targeted visuals, public space, creating a unique orchestrated sequence of spaces.

Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in East Lansing by Zaha Hadid Architects

Echoing and extending the many circulatory and visual connections that define its surrounding topography, the museum forms itself by extending and folding these connections through a series of pleats, producing a structure that changes as visitors move past and through it – creating great curiosity yet never fully revealing its content. The location of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at the northern edge of the Michigan State University campus is influenced by a set of movements along and across it.

IWC Museum in Schaffhausen, Switzerland by Smolenicky & Partner Architektur

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

Article source: Smolenicky & Partner Architektur

Two phenomena were important in the project for the IWC museum:

  1. The clock. This museum is a place to showcase the IWC-clock as a small and precious object.
  2. The aesthetic context. In which world in terms of Interior Design do the customers want who purchase an IWC watch want to live?

New Taipei City Museum of Art in Taiwan by LOVE architecture and urbanism ZT (designed using AutoCAD)

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Article source: LOVE architecture and urbanism ZT GmbH

“Biennale compact“

The core idea of the project is to create a kind of „condensed-Biennale-concept“ consisting of diverse unique „pavilions“ which are melted together. Each pavilion differs in shape, size, transparency, etc. in order to create a necklace-like structure of various identities.

Thereby this whole structure will be lifted in order to enable the park to flow through the plot. Each unit could host one of the exhibition spaces (of the fine arts museum or the children’s museum), the diverse areas of the research centre and the lecture hall. The units are connectable in order to enable a maximum in flexibility.

New Taipei City Museum of Art in Taiwan by Peter Boronski and Jean-loup Baldacci (designed using Sketchup and Artisan)

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

Article source: Peter Boronski and Jean-loup Baldacci

This is a large multi-program museum to be built on the outskirts of New Taipei City, Taiwan.

We wanted to make a museum that was well connected to the site and had extremely good public spaces, both interior and exterior. Drawing on the historical convergence of influences from several different nations over the centuries, the convergence of the rivers bounding the site, and the multi-use program of the museum itself we chose to work with the idea of convergence for this project.

But by pulling the park up into the project and by bending the building down into the ground we were able to create something that is in between building and landscape. It is easy to enjoy this museum weather you enter it or just have a picnic, up high on the grass with friends, while enjoying the view.
