[AALTO] International Architectural Competition for an Extension between the Alvar Aalto Museum and the Museum of Central Finland
Authors’ Comment
A link sometimes becomes the articulation that acts with modesty as a fluid architecture.
A link sometimes materializes as a space DRAWN BY DYNAMICS: the dynamic of the art-intaking people, the dynamic of the light touching the landscape and dispersing into the Alvar Aalto built canyon along its natural curves.
A link sometimes dreams to be ARCHITECTURE, architecture floating above the organically drawn landscape, an architecture PROTECTING A GAP between two buildings: Alvar Aalto Museum and Museum of Central Finland.
The project aims to reassert the currently built configuration of both existing museums welded by a minimalist geometrically defined enclosure. The proposed extension airily lays and floats, accentuating the metaphysic relation between Alvar Aalto Museum and Museum of Central Finland. The rooftop, a simple minimal slab, acts as a horizontal connection, defining the contemporary interpretation of specific details of the Aalto architecture, (re)formulating its iconic identity.
