Secondary research

Researching into different buildings can be helpful as it gives the designer a further understanding of the physics behind certain constructions and inspires the development of basic ideas. These wave like constructions are an excellent example of how to add interest to the exterior of a building without overcomplicating the original boxy structure and reducing the buildings support and value.

The secondary research into building presented as split, fits in with the brief as the history museum is meant to represent the different classes and their rights. This is an ideal form of inspiration as the buildings almost look torn and broken, however, they still look of high standard.

Koning Eizenberg Architecture left the interior walls, columns and brickwork raw when redeveloping the children's museum to represent the history behind the previous library which got struck by and demolished by lightening, in Pittsburgh.
