The proposal for the extension of the National Museum is conceived as an extension of the garden, a public space that folds up to accommodate the new rooms and the restaurant under its surface. The building emerges as part of the landscape, a green roof that becomes topography and connects with the historic surroundings without competing with the presence of the castle and the main museum building.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section> \n\n\n

The roof folds in continuity with the garden, creating new stands, routes and spaces for open-air cultural activities. This topography turned into architecture allows the museum itself to expand outwards, creating an amphitheatre with the castle as a backdrop and a new platform for art, concerts and public performances.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section> \n\n\n

The project opts for maximum compactness: an underground volume that groups the exhibition halls, workshops and auxiliary services in the smallest possible space. This strategy reduces earthworks, minimises the impact on the trees and guarantees a functional and direct connection between all the uses.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section> \n\n\n
