museum of polish history | Nemanja and Ivan Zoric

In the area of culture and art, in the World and especially in Europe nowadays, an institutionalised museum of history is a notable idea in the interest of a country and nation, as a part of the strategy of the cultural and contemporary prestige of the nation with a cultural identity and cultural tradition. There is a still large audience that enjoys visiting museums, but in general, as an institution the museum is increasingly being viewed with scepticism and mistrust by the rest of audience. Because of that, museum we designed is like pavillion, for two reasons. The first reason is our attempt to design a building which will not make an impression of reverence and intrude rules of behaving by its structure. We imagine it like park pavillion which is open to everybody end which guaranty, beside education, good time and enjoy. Second reason was specific ambience. We find that pavillion concept as simple and adjusted form is thruthful for this specific surroundings. We also think that multilevel accesson make possible artistically expressive and poetic presentation of architecture in which the programess and form are revealed gradually, just as the secrets of the location itself. In that process of gradually discovering, this solution, positioned on a slope, in a spontaneous and peaceful way, yet striking from the point of view of space, solves complex communications which are subordinate to the location terms. Proposed basic mass corresponds with existing buildings, not compete with them, and in urbanistic way support square base plan, precisely support established specific laws of spatial organisation and disposition. These specific relation towards real and given parameters of the existing objects in the location, enables its positive perception and agreement for its joing to the architectural heritage.
With new Museum path, we spread museum complex and implemets it in a existing park paths and anticipate connection of two parks on different banks of highway. And not only that. We provide that potential visitor is not captured in museum area in any way. The main idea is possibuility to assure visitor each time when someone walk trough the parks. We let him choice to go trough entire path network and on that route we tickle him with thematic small cubes and call him to learn and have a fun in Museum.
