DOUBLE SKY WINDOWS

Museum Alvar Aalto

The extension project is a place for man to remember and contemplate, time and silence. The site area position suggested itself an urban natural development of the project, defining a necessity to create a new link to the urban scale. The project for the new connection. The Open space as a conceptual space of unique definition, the space In-between. A link to transformation. This connection project is a gateway in-between the two existing museums, but it would be a link to the natural environment. The connection form generates new panoramic views. As well it increases the forces incoming from the historical important Alvar Aalto museums.
