The Dissect Museum of Modern Art is located in the heart of the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina. It is based on the idea of changing the typical museum typology and creating a new one by “Dissecting” contemporary art into individual buildings. The museum is a place for humans to connect and for local artists to meet new artists. Taking advantage of the surrounding water, the museum is pierced by a Per Art market that has the best view of the river. This is a space where all local and international artists sell their art while having one of the best views in the whole city. It is the ideal place for social interaction and gatherings. The museum serves as a modern landmark and it’s giant water feature extends the visitor’s infinity view of water. The main entrance is kept discrete and intimate to provide an element of surprise.
