BAVARIAN HISTORY MUSEUM PROPOSAL
DESIGN BY OODA & GUEDES DE CAMPOS
A
BAVARIAN HISTORY MUSEUM PROPOSAL – DESIGN BY OODA & GUEDES DE CAMPOS
OODA + GuedesDeCampos recently unveiled their design
proposal for the Bavarian History Museum which explores the ability
of architecture and urban planning to spread a cultural event, so that it
leads to optimism and a contrasting pleasure drive between the river, the
museum, the city and the public in general. Taking advantage of the
excellent location on the Danube and close to the cathedral, the new museum is
an urban landmark that reveals his historical narrative in its interior.
More images and architects’ description after the break.
The Bavarian museum enables compatibility of various elements. The
building rises from the ground in an unpredictable suspension, and
is founded as a platform of large freedom / flexibility of the public
space, so that it allows a connection between the macro scale, and the
local boundary lines. The suspended mass of more shaped cover created a
“new monumentality” of the river front and is directly related to the
distance scale of the cathedral.
Just as the local monuments, the museum is parallel to the Danube and
has its main entrance in the west. Here, the project invites the use of a large
cantilever beam that creates a height element covered and a
multi-functional space at the entrance.
The atmosphere of the museum presents Irregular coverings and dramatic
inclinations that are inspired in the German Alps and in the
neo-Gothic Our formalization of Kini.
