The idea of freedom is the symbolic message of the new Warsaw Museum
of Modern Art.
The project is made up of two elements.
The Crystalline Container is an austere transparent parallelepiped
protecting and revealing a strong dynamic space holding the many activities
of the museum. The transparency of the "container" absorbs and renews
the urban surroundings: The Marszalkowska Street and the Square dominated
by a Stalinist-stile skyscraper, the tallest building in Warsaw and
symbol of the Soviet oppression.
The large transparent cage seems hardly able to hold in two massive
thunderbolts of free and overflowing forms, a metaphor for Polish
untameable vitality.
The two Thunderbolts structures, which contain the specific museum
activities shatter the immobility of the container; they break out
towards the space outside; they both characterise and dispute the
urban skyline.
The "Thunderbolts" create a spatial labyrinth of ever changing perspectives
and colours.
