Saturn Museum-Museum of Modern Art

Arab Private University for Science & Technology

Project idea

The Museum of Modern Art is a project that provides a place for modern art models and paintings, where annual exhibitions are held, in addition to the art competitions that take place throughout the year, and a place to sell these models.

Project description

The concept is similar to the shape of the planet Saturn, where the representation of the huge sphere has become the permanent displays of the models that form the largest space in the project and is positioned around the rest of the project elements of a temporary exhibition hall, cafeteria, administration, internal courtyards and an amphitheater where lectures or ongoing tenders for the artistic paintings and models can be held. The sphere can be a huge screen for the outside and display videos, pictures or paid advertisements.
The project also includes an external display section that was placed to complete the shape of the circle around the ball on the outside.

Technical information

The project combines the structural system and the metal structure. The huge ball is made of metal, while the set of elements is made of reinforced concrete. Lighting is considered the most important in the project, as RGB lights are used, which are placed appropriately around the paintings and models to illuminate them well, in addition to the general lighting that makes you feel modern. The permanent display has become dependent during the day on natural lighting, and the materials of the interior parts have been adopted on simplicity so as not to distract attention from the models and paintings, and the displayed model remains the center of attention.
