WHAT IF | a museum has no walls ?

Site As Membrane

The site is sandwiched between the old village and the city center - it has to take the role of becoming a transition medium.
A permeable membrane is my challenge towards all walls in the project. From the outter boundaries, to the inner partitions - they all must be on different level of permeability.
A wall defines the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. It acts as a seperator, giving the inside its privacy and isolation, and a varrier to limit physical movements.

A boundary is needed to define the cultural centre from the land. Yet it ought to be open and welcoming both to visitors and villagers.
In other words, I challenge mtyself to make the wall a “permeable membrane” in this project.
