The main idea in this project is to introduce in the heart of the building, respecting the planning conditions and in a measured way, two boxes with different character (one interior, the other exterior) that arrange the building spatially and functionally.
We establish a balance between the existing building and the new built spaces that goes way further than simple formality. The museum is understood as a path around a circus with two different arenas, a red one, open to the sky that arranges the outdoor patio, and a black one inside, more closed within itself. They are two multipurpose performance spaces capable of hosting different shows that complement the museum functions.
