DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
MY APPROACH WAS TO BUILD A MUSEUM CAMPUS THAT READS AS ONE CONTINUOUS LANDSCAPE. I USED COURTS, GARDENS, AND STRAIGHTFORWARD CIRCULATION TO STRUCTURE THE SITE, KEEPING THE ARCHITECTURE MINIMAL AND CLEAR. EACH MUSEUM TAKES ON ITS OWN IDENTITY THROUGH SUBTLE SHIFTS IN FORM AND LIGHT, BUT THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE REMAINS CONNECTED AND COHERENT.
