Description

International competition; the project was selected for publication. The museum is geometric and simple, an exact form that allows for a very clear approach, reminiscent of Egyptian simplicity and precision; only later does it become complex, rich and synergetic. The site is given back to the community by converting the roof into a public terrace.
