Location: Mexico City, MX

[b]Description[/b]
The main concept of MUSEO TAMAYO is an "OPENED BOX" that unfolds, opens, and invites the visitors inside. Program areas such as packaging, restoration, and storage will serve as additional cultural spaces for visitors to learn and understand the stages an art piece goes through in order to get to its specific destination.

This is a very direct, strong, and symbolic project - where the shape derives from the client's preliminary studies that defined the optimal functionality - with an enhanced programatic layout that was designed to take advantage of the panoramic views. Designing with the steep terrain, the architecture shades the more social outdoor space below, as the exterior and interior spaces overlap to provide the best environment possible for each function and optimal climatic performance.
