In the silhouette of the building can be find links to form reminiscent of the old fortress of Ufa Kremlin XVIII century. National motives of the region is also reflected in the design of the facade at nig ht. This is achieved by fine stone facade of the perforations in the form of ornaments,which are implicit in the afternoon. Material Corten acts as a second layer,the second skin of the building into a facade object, displaying dynamic forms. From the first view at the Museum by the residents and guests of the capital will arise associations connected with the excavation and the output volume of the earth.

First and foremost for us relationshi ps between archaeological site and contemporary society is the main subject of this thesis has required significant effort when studying the topic and interpretative issues related to this specific field of architectural design. Doubtless,this topic for us is extremely important for the present and for the future of architecture. For the great majority of professionals is hardly discussed since it requires a certain professional maturity and careful consideration of both the possibilities and issues it opens up to architectural design. Moreover, appropriateness of the subject is related to the fact that it help local society with defining its own cultural identity. Nowadays,this question is part of current interest of our country. Another good thing about project is that archaeologists have chance to demonstrate the artefacts directly in-situ could answer to the question about self-identity. In addition, it has influence the relationshi p between our current attitude towards history and the attitude our successors will take to what we design today. The study of such a rich and complex topic has presented us with new approach for Ufa. Usually in our country after finishing archaeological excavation in the city government used to develop new construction of the area on the site. However, in our case excavation was consrved. It makes sense that community is requiring other approaches for this case. As a consequence we presented another way of thinking about preservation of archaeological sites and design new museum that is hanging and protecting excavation with new volume in
which visitors could observe artefacts. Indeed it was a big challenge for us the decision of designing a building in close relationshi p with past. Essential nonconvertible character of architectural design brings significant risks, which hugely increase when the historical heritage of site is involved together with identity of community, its vision and social consciousness. While in this case city development of surrounding site reflects enoug h the attitude that society takes to its own history, it can decrease, neglect or even demolish its historical heritage,our approach turns it into a source of proud, social legitimacy and solidarity. The direct connection of society with site of collective memory is a significant act of acknowledgment and evidence of collective will of community,of certain attitude towards their past and consequently their future. Therefore, design dedication of museum to the service of archaeology, rather than its image to validate the project. The solution we have made came from believes in potential of contemporary architecture has dialog and breathe new life into historically and culturally important places,to help communicate their significance and spread new awareness of their value. We think that balance between new life of site and historical meaning has found in our project without either degrading it,subjecting it to the new or undermining its peculiarities. In conclusion, we can say that we build great hopes to change attitude of society towards to past and use this approach in other cases of our country.
