Museum of Industrial Design, Architecture, and Contemporary Art

Munich Art Museum Competition

The impressive museum precinct would have been composed of the new museum and the existing Alte Pinakothek set in a park. The design of the new museum was to be organized along a spine extending from the existing museum to across the block. A pedestrian glazed "museum street" connected the precinct's two entrances at each extremity. Repetitive elements were generated from the spine, while the park contained independent geometric shapes elevated on pylons. Daylight was a strong component of the museum's design as seen by strategic distribution of skylights, clerestories and reflective light shafts.
