11 : Exemplar : Station 1

Here is a concept development what was a public building done in close proximity to a railway line.I think this type of structure / form would work well, if the train lines were actually running through it... maybe they stopped in staggered positions??

New Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts Competition proposal / Allied Works Architecture


The forms and spaces of the new MCBA are both monumental and transparent. The building’s geologic form is fractured by activity, providing glimpses into and through the heart of the building. Ideal gallery proportions establish a rhythm of space and structure along the Arts Walk and rail lines.  Between galleries, structure, circulation and light form fissures of transparency – filtering and diffusing light into the galleries, providing views to the landscape and city while connecting the building vertically. With a simple juxtaposition and pivot of structure the building becomes alive with light and energy. The new architecture binds the city, landscape and art into one synthetic experience.
