BUDAPEST, TRANSPORT MUSEUM COMPETITION 2019
The project can be defined along two themes. According
to the first one, the Museum which moves to MÁV's Northern Maintenance Depot,
unravels a plot which has been a blind spot of the urban fabric up until now:
it needs to be plugged in the infrastructural circuit of the capital
respectively formal and substantial characters of the future urban spaces need
to be defined. The second theme
considers a view which treats the site and its buildings - as their past relate
strongly to the Museum's topic - as integral part of the exhibition. As such,
the industrial halls of the site are about to house the exhibition- and
visitable storage spaces of the museum, presenting a dramatic interior, which
guarantees an particular and unique experience. The newly added building parts
unfold along the formal logic of the halls present on the site, with minimal
addition: aisles between the existing structures and a zeppelin-like floating
one above the hall on the museum plaza. On the north facade an iconic section
articulates, weaving together old and new, the logic of the hall system
condensed in one view.
