Sprengel Museum extension
PROGRAMME: exhibition spaces, offices, workshops, storerooms
PROJECT MANAGER: City of Hannover
LOCATION: Kurt-Schwitters-Platz, 30169 Hannover
PROJECT AREA: 4 200 m²
COMPETITION: 2010
TEAM: LAN Architecture (architects), Bollinger-Grohmann (structure), Agence Franck Boutté (HEQ consultant)
The SprengelMuseum
extension has enormous potential for change in that the museum must be
experienced as a part of the place in which it lives.
Set on a plinth, the museum
demarcates itself as a sacred space. The building is articulated around a
longitudinal street dividing it into isolated spaces.
The
museum site is isolated between a road and an area of houses cutting it off
from its urban context and separating it from the banks of the nearby lake.
AN EXPANDED MUSEUM
Our vertical proposal seeks
to create interaction between the museum site and its immediate surroundings,
between a building and a topography, each with their own histories, and provide
a contemporary perspective radiating out over the city, the lake, the garden
and the museum’s plinth.
Our proposition is its conception of a museum not as a recomposed, composite
architecture but as a global entity whose components can draw mutual sustenance
from their respective heritages.
The multiple, fragmented
viewpoints characteristic of the Cubist aesthetic are applied here within an
architectural logic: the museum announces its presence to the city whilst
enabling the landscape of the lake and the city, the spaces it seeks to
embrace, to penetrate within its confines.
FLEXIBLE SPACES
The vertical configuration,
structured by the stacking and staggering of its component spaces provides an
enormous possibility for modularity and flexibility:
When closed, these volumes
become pure ‘white cubes’, the classic conceptual exhibition space.
When staggered, they open
up intermediate rest spaces between the exhibition rooms, bathed in natural
light. Balconies looking out over the cityscape act as havens of rest, and
become an integral part of the visitor’s itinerary through the museum.
The gardens complete this
field of possibilities, providing a tactile universe and an alternative,
exterior exhibition space as an extension of the museum visit. The diffuse
landscape of the garden’s vegetation, provides a sensual experience within the
museum, a living, natural environment.
