Preserving the unique and influential aspects of the site has always been our primary interest. In this project, one of our key ideas was to honor existing narratives and historical contexts during the design process. The design emphasizes the celebration of all elements on the site, including trees and buildings, aiming to create a space that reflects the history and heritage of the area. The Museum Walls, made of reflective materials, offer visitors a new perspective on the surroundings, uniquely highlighting the natural, historical, and archaeological elements.
The project prioritizes passive energy solutions, efficiency optimizations, and on-site energy generation to reduce environmental impact. Accessibility and inclusion are key considerations, with all site and museum spaces being compliant with the European Accessibility Act, ensuring complete accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
Efforts to safeguard and celebrate the existing ecology are central to the design. The focus is on conserving natural softscapes and minimizing the visual impact of designed landscaping. The design approach integrates built and existing environments, aiming to augment or reflect existing spaces in innovative ways. The concept of ‘New Perspective’ guides the design, encouraging visitors to perceive elements from different viewpoints. The Museum Walls serves as a central design element, addressing wayfinding concerns and enhancing the overall urban, architectural, and landscape design of the site.
