The project by Holzer Kobler Architekturen for the competition of the
Museum of Contemporary Art in Wroclaw is a visionary design consisting
of two elements: the exhibition halls, which are conceived as neutral
black boxes in order to focus on the art that will be shown within and
to allow for a maximum of flexibility in its use, and light spacious rooms
for cultural events, learning and living (library, office and conference
rooms, museums club, restaurant, shop, ...).
This intertwining of the black box exhibition spaces with
very limited daylight and the open space for cultural experience and learning
is at the core of the architectural concept. The linearity of the exhibition
leads in its circuit in a clear sequence through the building, regularly
linking into the transparent light and more fluid structure containing
the neural, central organisation of public function and the cultural elements
such as the café, restaurant, conference rooms, library and the
clubs.
The Outdoor Gallery/Sculpture Garden on the roof will be part of the visitors
circuit, while the Museums Club will be situated on the rooftop
and give its members an exclusive view across the roof garden towards
the city centre on the side where the sun sets.
The project has been developed in cooperation with Jean-Lucien Gay, NAU
architecture, and ARUP Berlin.
