Bauhaus Museum Dessau
In order to satisfy the brief’s requirement of having a single open exhibition space, we opted to create a low profile horizontal building raised off the ground level, a distinct object yet fused with the landscape. This strategy not only resolves programmatic issues but contextually allows the building to camouflage itself within the park trees. The ground floor is understood as an extension of the park, where the floating volume allows for park activity and public functions of the museum to blend with each other. Additionally, the project is inspired by two Bauhaus elements. The volume is based on a floating table located in the Staff Room of the Engineering School and the roof is an interpretation of a Herbert Bayer’s Bauhaus-Alisstellung poster of 1923.
As a free floating prism anchored to the ground by a long glass base, the project is an investigation in horizontal space. Horizontal space is seen as the space that occupies park, an extension of green and vegetated space, and the museum galleries, an extension of exhibit space. The definition of horizontal, parallel to the ground, defines the project at its essence. The ground being the park space and the parallel being exhibit space. Continuity is established between the building and its context to create a cohesive experience for the subject where connectivity and openness characterize the space.
