MUZA
TYPOLOGY: Cultural
SCOPE: Museum Addition to Existing Historic Building
SIZE: 4,059 sq. m
CLIENT: Zaanstad Amsterdam Museum (ZAMU)
The proposal for an addition to the existing MUZA Building consists of a new floating structure that twists and tilts over existing Building 429. This spatial arrangement appears to be hovering above the site at one end while intersecting with the existing building at the other to form a dynamic inside-outside spatial engagement with the historic landmark.
As a result of unexpected visual connections between the old and new buildings, a unique ‘inside/outside’ relationship is created between the two very different but complimentary architectural characters. Visitors are encouraged to contemplate such interactive issues as equilibrium, stability, gravity, points of access and people relationships as the collective ingredients of an aesthetic experience.
