The New Platform
Nature is perfect as it is, and relation with nature has been a big issue in architecture. Though scale and form of architecture grows as technology evolves, great architecture did not try to dominate the nature, all through history. Modesty of architecture would be the lesson for the future.
The given site for renovation has unique and beautiful scenery. The primitive aesthetic of nature have the relation with the old buildings with harmony. Therefore, new building has to be an answer for how to connect the old and the new. What we focus in this project is the method to respect the given situation.
lifted garden
new museum
We found the possibility from the existing paths of the site. The southern garden of old Manor has most artificial landscape and interesting sequence. It would be suitable for extension area while minimize transforming the existing condition. The existing promenade would be the open alley of new museum with the nature view, and sloped lawn area in-between the promenade would be the exhibition spaces.
