DESIGN DESCRIPTION
This independent annex works as a “background frame” for the museum designed by Matias Goeritz. It is also designed to enhance the ECO museum’s urban sculptural spirit.
Learning the new building towards the west side allows me to open a patio. This area becomes the distributor to the offices, storage and a visual connector between the new and the existing building. The main office is designed to be strategically located to catch sight of the movement of the pieces in the museum, the activity on the patio, and the whole building. Invited to participate in a “competition” that was not.
This exercise trained us to resolve the topology of galleries and a small museum. We also learned about the strong interest that, unfortunately, leads some architects to substitute design decisions for private interest. This is nothing new, but it is a must-fight. For more information about this so-called “competition,” please visit La Jornada Newspaper.
