BAUHAUS MUSEUM
LOCATION: Dessau, Germany
PROJECT AREA: 50,000 ft²
PROJECT YEAR: 2015
DESCRIPTION:
In order to satisfy the brief’s requirement of having a single open exhibition space, we opted to create a low-profile horizontal building raised off the ground level, a distinct object yet fused with the landscape. This strategy not only resolves programmatic issues but contextually allows the building to camouflage itself within the park trees. The ground floor is understood as an extension of the park, where the floating volume allows for park activity and public functions of the museum to blend with each other.
