Puerto Madero Architecture Museum | Project

In this Museum of Architecture, the conceptions of tour and line, carry meaning of great importance, since we conceive the museum as a building where the traffic of the public, and its stay in it, determines the interior/exterior space. The quantity and variation of the circulatory levels (stairs, ramps, elevators, etc ...) allow the visitor to obtain different points of view from which to observe the work of art exposed and, with it, also to change the way of experiencing the art itself. It is a question of constructing a building with spaces that invite to constant interaction and change, and stimulate both physically and mentally the public.

The same thing we might say of the exterior, with respect to the “metal skin”, with its changes of shades caused so much by the passage of time as by the reflection of the solar beams. These resources give the feeling that the museum is in a constant state of movement and transmits a sensation of dynamism as the visitor travels its exterior, no matter the distance to which he is situated. The concepts of space-time and the distance measured by time, are, in turn, related to the concept of line, and to that of duration. In this way, the line is related to the time, because the discussion on history is based always on the movement of the time, a line that unfolds in itself. But the time traditionally understood in a linear or unidirectional sense, would not be valid for the relation here looked after. It would be more rather like a network where one point can be connected with any other (simultaneous and parallel time).
