Concept
The concept is rooted in the dialogue between old and new—honoring the authenticity of the original building while introducing contemporary architectural language.
Reuse of the existing building: Preserving original features honors the building's history. The yellow on the drawings represents what was demolished, red-what is new and black-not changed elements.
Space reconfiguration: Flexible layouts enhance the flow between exhibition areas.
Integration of the extension: Modern addition complements the original structure.
Light and space: Bright, open spaces invite exploration and interaction.
