Project Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) – Make: Pavilion, Chicago, IL

Final Presentation:

The role of museums has changed over time and never more so than in the last 10–15 years. As well as their traditional role of collecting, preserving and sharing rich collections, museums now find that they play an increasing role in supporting the development of communities. Museums can be a place to help shape community identity and bring different community groups together. So from the beginning of the project I tried to make the sculptural garden the main

feature and integrate the building within it. With the long and slim site that was way harder than I thought and everyone I think was struggling with that. So the design tries to merge the garden and the building; and it does so in two ways, first the garden and the building are not just next to each other as two individuals but they wrap around each other, and the second is the outer skin was inspired by sculptures so the building becomes a sculpture itself, so it becomes a part of the sculpture garden.

As already mentioned this outer skin is a main design feature of the building, so let me talk about that a little more:

It actually started out as this thing that just ‘looks cool’, but when thinking about materiality and detailing it actually got an actual purpose. First as already mentioned it is meant to help integrating the building into the site, then it acts as a shading device for some parts of the building. The reason for using coret is that, Chicago literally is a concrete jungle, not many parks or green spaces, so the dramatic copper facade is perforated and textured to replicate the impression made by light filtering through a tree….

When starting the project I wanted to design a straight forward, plain building that doesn’t take away from the art, well that has changed radically on the exterior as I already said earlier, but I kept that design goal for the inside, if you take a look at my interior perspective I dematerialized the interior, so it becomes a heaven like space, without any distraction, almost isolated from the busy city.
