Museum Study

In this latest iteration of a new museum is a more economical approach to a old program. In this model the majority of the museum functions and storage, energy management/storage, parking and administrative functions are housed below the crown of the hill. In a move to present a recognizable presence the portion which is visible is surrounded by a channel glass box around a steel frame. It preserves the nature of the area without having to choose a new site. Elevating the geometry of this new building is juxtaposition and contra  to an existing 19th century structure which is currently on the site.
