Description:

The modern museum is a dynamic blend of supermarket, temple, and tourist attraction, bringing together a diverse range of functions, technical demands, and structural requirements. The variety of objects and works of art within its collections reflects the heterogeneity of the building itself.

The central challenge in the architectural design lies in creating a layer of coherence and continuity—a unifying backdrop that protects and enhances the diversity within. This book asks: How can the extensive programme, including collections, circulation, and climatic and lighting systems, be seamlessly integrated? And how can these elements be tied together to form a harmonious and cohesive whole?
