The M20 museum

M20 Museum

The project was for Academic semester 7 design studio VII in the semester abroad in the Berlin GUC Campus

The museum is formed to contrast with the simplicity of the neue national gallerie Inspired by the phenomena of watr refraction of light the design act as a fractured mirror that shows a new face for the neue national gallerie in a new language the design is extroverted reacting with the urban morphology that mimic its morphimg based on the soid and void map in the context

Task I -The Dialouge David Reed and Mary Heilmann worked together on The Two By Two exhibition in Hamburger Museum to show case their paintings forming dialogue between them with a conflict, The paintings we chose agree on the same message, but the way of expressing the purpose is totally different between Reed’s and Heilmann’s paintings.

Why White?

Because the painting is straight forward and easy to read, as white resembles clarity and purity it would serve this narrative painting perfectly

.

We found the diversity between the two paintings that showed the same purpose as a strong asset that we decided to implement the experience each painting on it’s own, one with the emotional effect and the other with the narrative expression and at the end they would reach the same conclusion.

So we chose BLACK as the surrounding for Reed’s painting and WHITE for Heilmann’s surrounding.

Why Black?

Because black evokes strong feelings and can feel overwhelming as it also represents formality, mystery and the unknown. So painting the room in black and applying dim light will put the viewer in a certain mood that will help them understand the painting better.

Task II -The Rain Dropthe second task was to create a language between a sculpture and the neue National galerie, the task was asking for an inspiration of a material or a properties of nature to be implemented and react to the building

The rain drop ability of light refraction is The chosen way to show the diversity, through this property the form of the design was originated by reflecting the urban suroundings with the same technique as a rain drop the technique was inspired of the Cloud Gate Monument by the british indian artist Anish kapoor the sculpture was chosen to implement the chosen language

The language between the Building and the sculptureis n the contrast between the rigid steel corner and the smooth face of the bubble, and how it visualy offers a new morphology for the building on its surface.

Task III -The morphing experiments-

on this task the requested was to form physical releif to further show case the language , and what isinterpreted by it which in the case of the project the key word was the diversity and inspired from the jewish mueum by daniel libenskiin berlin in applying the relation between the form of antique form and moder form The jewish mueum by daniel libenskiin berlin

first morph is generation of diversity from the reverse assembly , by makig the language of diversity in the orientation while the solid is constant to generate a complementry new form

second morph is generation of diversity from the exterior to the core from the complex to the simple form and the language is formed by the solids morphology

Third morph is generation of diversity from the exterior to the core from the complex to the simple form and the language is formed by the solids and voids

The M20 Concept

To Apply the concept on the urban context we used the buildings form to direct it to make the dialoug with neue nationale galerie only , so the building form is complementry with th urban context except the neue national gallerile wich the building form is contradicting with.
