UGM Open Space




I realized that our problem of open space with this membrane direction isnt an architectural one but a conceptual one (much easier to solve!). In fact its something that we've already been doing and is one of the main drivers of the membrane idea but I somehow forgot about when thinking about open space: that the museum should be more extroverted and more communicative with the city. So its consistent to place the open spaces on the exterior where they can become a part of the surroundings - towards the new city, towards the old city, and towards the river - as long as we are conscious about making those locations viable event/gathering spaces.

my issue with open space wasn't the fact that it wasn't introverted/ enclosed, but the risk that it becomes too divided and particular. I think the challenge will be to include the open space in the membrane, so that it doesn't read as leftover space but an equal part with any other program.
