A MUSEUM IN THE FIELDS
The co-existence of a culture center and a cemetery in the same area is a special characteristic of the project. It constitutes an interesting bi-polar dynamism. Life, culture, joy in contrast to sorrow and death.
Between life and death lies human labor on earth.
In this context the project site is divided on a North to South axis in three fields and two levels, conceptually and programmatically. At the upper level –Life/culture - the culture center and the main events piazza at the lower level – Death/tranquility – the Mediterranean garden and open space for relaxing and contemplation. Between the two, connecting and separating at the same time, a museum for Agriculture Heritage, a place for Labor on earth.
The cycle of life, the continual death and regeneration of nature, quite transition from one situation to a new one, evolution and change are expressed in the dialectic of new and existing structures, the smooth transition and diffusion of functions, spaces and materials. A distinct linearity along the North – South axis in the landscaping relates to the pattern of cultivated land. The transition between hard and soft surfaces is gradual in a unifying manner aiming at a field of activities with permeable boundaries. The buildings merge in the landscape, housed in the earth and emerge from the ground blurring the borders between build and landscape.
