Schindler's Ark

Universität Kassel

Project idea

CONCEPT + GUIDE SYSTEM

The guidance system incorporates the material of historical use in the existing architecture: textiles. It prominently navigates through the emotional, historical, informal, and personal scenes of the museum. It conveys, through its dignified-elegant, translucent, timeless, and contrasting qualities, across the controversial existing floor plans and unifies them. The space-forming textile creates a space within the room and simultaneously serves as a projection site for the exhibition.

Project description

The design is characterized by active reading and penetrating of the existing architecture. The resulting conscious appreciation and preservation of the historical existing architecture takes place through a consistent removal of non-load-bearing elements, in order to reveal the previously hidden generosity and solidity of the architecture. This distinctive approach extends through the different floor plans of the existing architectures, through the preservation of the facades, to the appreciative emphasis of the historical space.
