New Bauhaus Muesum - Dessau

Pontifical Javeriana University Bogota

Idea projektu

The new Bauhaus Museum seeks to become a city landmark and a component representing the Bauhaus in the 21st century. For this project generates an easily recognizable image of the characteristic elements of the Bauhaus and its language is a reference in all elements of design of this school, not only in architectural.
This is our proposal presented for the international contest New Dessau Bauhaus Museum in 2015. This project is an unknown proposal because it could not continue the selection stage for having arrived in physical medium after the delivery date stipulated in the contest . I hope you like it.

Popis projektu

The project generates a strong urban impact because of its location and it responds to its immediate context, locating various public spaces for each of the scales need. At the intersection of friedrichstraBe and antoinettenstraBe a public space that serves as a transition between the urban and the park, starting as a hard space is transformed into park and continues with this strong wooded axis develops. This space elongated shoots and fits over the architectural project to the east and rises on a stepped terrace where parking spaces are located on the western side.
The second urban answer emerges along the kavalierstraBe which has several buildings of interest from the north, so that an actual setback extending the existing public space and generates a receipt elongated space between the intersection with friedrichstraBe is generated and continued until the end of the lot and the park where are the memorial ODF and the water source.
The water source is the third urban response; as a space that responds immediately to the urban context and pedestrian flow, serves as access to the park by the kavalierstraBe or drive to the museum.
The park proposal seeks not completely redesign specific places but to intervene to help a greater symbiosis between the park and the museum and these with its urban context.
The museum develops new open spaces where different outdoor activities such as exhibitions in the park, performing arts theater or develop urban art. These activities are carried along the public space of the friedrichstraBe, with the start staggered terrace on the volume of parking as open plan gets generated under the green roof of the museum.
On the basis of preserving as many existing elements in the park, the new design potentiates these elements and gives them greater strength, as some lines of roads, parks and elements such as water fountain memorial ODF are, in turn preserving arborization that compose them.

Technické informace

The architectural volume is developed as responses to the urban context, the elongated square friedrichstraBe and retreat by kavalierstraBe response to the tip of the lot, where it develops its main access to the center of the lot.
The first is on the Kavaliers lock where the largest pedestrian flow given by public transport context, trade flows and ratsgasse. The second port is inside the park, which receives the flow coming from the antoinettenstraBe and groups that reach the volume of parking.
The Hall is the central space that organizes the spatial distribution volume. Is a clear space to the track and into the park to create a connection between the closed and the open, the hard and the natural. By Way has an atrium where some monument or other representative element that reinforces the idea of being access to the new Bauhaus museum will be located.
The project has two cafés, one inside and one outside. The inner Café accessed from the Museum but also has an outside entrance to run alongside the shop if it is closed, it helps to compose the idea of urban space in the corner of the kavalierstraBe and friedrichstraBe.
The second café is in the open floor and gets the public space friedrichstraBe. This cafe operates separately to the museum and is a response to the park.
Movement between levels arises from the idea of Circular and watch, and watch the hall circle, circle and watched at all times to the park, highlighting the value of nature with architecture
The project has a stairway and a ramp. Both are located in the same starting point on the first floor, but routed to two different display areas on the second floor, rest as the midpoint and intersection of both lets me choose if I continue by ramp or stairs and into that area i want to address exposure.
The temporary exhibition room has a circulation that links with the general circulation, this allows no loss of continuity between exposures and increase travel distances.
This idea allows me to generate the international exhibition of 1000 mts over 2 levels, creating continuity in it.
The two types of museum exhibitions are developed on two floors. The first floor features the temporary exhibition; this has a small sample into the hall inviting access and contemplates it in its entirety. The museum cafe has a double height space that allows me to observe large part of the temporary exhibition, serving me as a showcase of this.
The second floor develops 7 Bauhaus exhibitions. This exhibition features an outdoor terrace and balconies where you can generate complementary to exhibitions and cocktails meetings or activities, in turn observing the activities taking place in the open floor or watching the big green mass that is the park.
The project has a public green terrace on the free floor where the cafeteria of the park is. The open floor plan features stands for plays or urban art and the terrace is a zone of distension that serves as a transition between the urban and the natural.
