Rethinking Naval Museum

MUSEO NAVALE

V E N E Z I A


This project challenges the usage and function of a Museum. For centuries, museums have been built solely for exhibits. This project questions what more can museum be apart from being an exhibition space. Heritage is to be preserve, maintain and brings forward to the future. However, the existing Naval Museum is mainly showcasing the past of Venice’s naval history with the target group of foreign visitors. The proposed new museum (Museo Navale) aims to attract both local and foreign visitors. The new museum is set to be a learning space. Workshops are introduced as one of the programmes in the museum. Heritage should not be a place that freeze the history but a place where past knowledge and traditional craftmanship can be inherited to the future generation whilst not lost in time. The site, Bacini di Carenaggio at Arsenale, is a location with strong historical background of Venice’s past naval power. Design of the museum will be a mixture of maintaining Venice’s historical value yet embracing modern contemporary design. Apart from that, this design proposal celebrates the beauty of garden in Venice which was once part of the city’s plan. The roof of the museum will be a public park for usage at any time. It is in an effort to continue the Venice’s green belt from the lagoon.

BARBACANE

CALLE

Venice has a long history of using wooden piles as foundation and it’s still one of the methods being used to this date. Timber piles are used to consolidate the ground by incresing its density and stability. This enables buildings to stand tall on this muddy foundation. Learning from that, designing columns that are imitating wooden piles that lightly touche the Bacini and continuing underground as foundation.

Barbacane can be seen abundantly around Venice. It’s a contruction method used to levitate the floor plates yet allowing underpass. This method is used to conserve the limitation of land, creating space above and below. With this, the Musuem is design with cantilever structures which hold up the floor plates to create 2 different spaces.

The calle (in the plural Calli) is a narrow street. These form the main padesrian routes across all of Venice, The tiny calli and soaring high dwellings on both sides diminished the users. It creates the sense of lost. As for that, Museum’s columns structures are allinged narrowly to recreate the sense of losing navigation while roaming freely to explore new findings.

1. The Musuem is entirely underground with 10 meters depth. Heat is gained and lossed constantly between the interior and the ground through convection/ diffusion. As underground’s temperature is relatively constant, it v to regulate the temperature of the Museum’s interior as well.

3. Softscape covers/ Landscape helps to reduce the heat gained from the Sun at the roof cover. Water collections on the landscape layer helps to deliver cold stream down to the underground.

6. Sea breeze helps to brings away surface heat and keeping it cool.

2. Mechanical ventilation is used for inteior airflow. Air is distributed through underfloor. Hot Air Cold Air

4. Direct sunlights contributes to the thermal heat gain on the external wall and convects heat into the Museum. .

7. Underground and the water body tends to regulate the in-contact surfaces with constant temperature and cool.

.5 Double layer insulated glazing as the roof cover helps to difusethe direct sunlight. It reduces the heat gain of the Museum.

SUN PATH and DRAINAGE DIAGRAMS

SUMMER SUN

WINTER SUN

Direct and indirect sunlight are incorporated for the Museum design to reduce the use of electricity. Direct sunlight is promoted with the use of roof glazing whilst indirect sunlight is introducted with internal platforms and trees on the roof. Trees help to filter off the glaring sunlight. The platforms create shading for lowest level.

Low Tide

DRAINAGE DIAGRAM

High Tide

Landscape roof cover acts as rainwater catchment where water can be recycled for domestic usage by The Museum. Whilst on the top, it allows water surface runoff into the lagoon. Underground pipes are incroporated with treatment plant to treat the the waste water from the museum before discharging into the lagoon. The daily tides of the lagoon helps to bring the surface runoff water and treated waste water away.
