2006 - competition entry
erweiterung kunsthistorisches museum wien,
This project is a competition entry for an art gallery extension to the highly significant building, the KHM, in
The approach has been to create a building that although is true to its time does not compete with the architectural language of the existing building. We also tried to avoid the appearance of an ‘extension’, rather to create a series of spaces that neatly fit, as if they had always been there. By lowering the art gallery into the ground a new public courtyard space has been created level with the existing gallery’s first public level, it orientates and provides views for the existing gallery spaces. The gallery itself has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility and to allow for independent exhibitions.
